be honest: which app ad has your feed been showing you on repeat this month?

nobody opens tiktok to watch an ad. they open it to watch people. so we stopped making ads about apps. we make videos about people who happen to use one.

in june we shipped an app for our creators. made in house by my cofounder nath, in a few weeks. what still blows my mind is how accessible this has become with ai. you don’t need a tech team anymore to build the tool your company needs, you just need someone stubborn enough to start.

everyone is talking about ai ugc right now. we're doubling down on real people filming on their phones, because that's what the feed still trusts. real creators or ai avatars, where do you stand?

i'm 22 and i run a company in paris. every week someone tells me the real opportunities are in san francisco. i don't buy it. paris is one of the best places (for us) in the world to build consumer apps right now. where are you building from, and would you ever move?

what's working for apps on tiktok right now, from what we see across 50+ apps: > memes recreated by a creator > relatable pov with a caption > duos with a best friend > talking head "yapping" (costly, but it converts) > carousels fading fast: explainers and polished influencer ads. too clean for the feed.

we looked at 120+ tiktok ads that apps kept running for 3+ months. no app keeps paying for an ad that doesn't convert. so these work. here's what they had in common:

the brief that comes out of it fits in one line: same video, same caption, the app at the end.

app founders: what's one thing you wish creators or users understood instantly about your app?

we're looking for more creators in the us (or other markets). not influencers. if that could be you (or a friend), drop your tiktok below 👇

got recognized at an event at hexa house once, by someone who had been reading my linkedin posts. we ended up talking for an hour about their app, their first creators, everything. that's when i realized people actually read what we write, and it's a big part of why i'm posting here now.

nothing (and i mean nothing) has grown scroll like writing on linkedin has. hoping x treats us the same. any tips for someone just getting started here?
