The 23-year-old That Made $2.4M with His FIRST App

[@apexblake]

Thanks for having me Brett and thanks to everybody that listened! If you have any questions or feedback, please reply here and I'll answer everybody. Brett also linked my socials in the description if you want to connect :)

[@igrowsalons]

[@funfactsnature]

Thanks Blake for sharing all these insights. Question for you; what was your initial investment when building rizzgpt? I have never used the openai API so I am wondering what are the realistic costs of those tokens when building for a potential huge audience. I hate hidden fees...If you also have where you wrote about it it would be helpful.

[@apexblake]

@@funfactsnature The token cost for gpt-3.5 is extremely low, it was less than 1% of our revenue.

Hey Apex the testimonial on your site seems very off: The Testimonials of Rizz GPT Maya - Digital Content Creator Rizz AI has been a game-changer for my content creation process. Its intuitive interface and personalized prompts have significantly boosted my productivity. As a digital content creator, I'm constantly seeking fresh ideas, and Rizz AI never fails to deliver. It's like having a creative collaborator right at my fingertips. Lucas Bennett - Software Engineer Rizz AI has become an indispensable tool in my daily workflow. As a software engineer, I often need to draft documentation and communicate complex ideas clearly. Rizz AI's ability to generate coherent and contextually relevant text has been a lifesaver. It streamlines the writing process and ensures that my messages resonate effectively with my audience. Harper Knight - Financial Analyst Rizz AI has revolutionized the way I approach social media management. Its dynamic text generation capabilities have allowed me to craft engaging posts and interact with followers more effectively. With Rizz AI, I can effortlessly adapt my tone and style to suit different platforms and audiences, ensuring consistent engagement and brand presence. What is going on here?

[@MattMoore-r7b]

brett could you start making the guests prove that they make this money? Because to me it just seems like Blake was throwing numbers around especially when the his app reviews are dog shit. Plug AI has 2.8 stars on google play and the reviews on reddit are horrible. The videos would be so much better if you vet them and prove to you its not bs

[@user-ah0]

reviews don't matter

[@apexblake]

I built the Apple version - I believe the rating is 4.2 stars there. Android revenue is like 10% of Apple and the application is not built as well. I'm not sure exactly how you would like for me to prove it, but you can check out Sensor Tower. If you search up Plug AI, you will see it says $100k monthly revenue currently. Sensor Tower revenue = Total revenue * 0.7 (Apple takes 30% in excess of $1m yearly proceeds), then rounded to the nearest $100k. Umax, for example, is at $400k revenue. $400k *.7 = $280 -> rounded to $300k on Sensor Tower. Hope this helps. Let me know if you have further questions.

[@daveh9941]

Would you expect an app that was 95% created by chatGPT to be any good? Imagine what the security layer of the app is like, it probably doesn’t even exist.

Investing without proper guidance can lead to mistakes and losses. I've learned this from my own experience. If you're new to investing or don't have much time, it's best to get advice from an expert.

[@vasvalstan]

Guys, did anyone try the app ? I downloaded it today, and I wasn't impressed at all, the recommendations are dogshit, if you talked with 10 girls are have a basic chat creativity, the suggestions based on your screenshot given, plus there's no context of the conversation, just based on that screenshot, I find it useless. You have 3 days of trial and then 6-7$/week..no idea who would pay for this. I have the feeling the numbers he's making are inflated like hell...maybe it's just a marketing ploy this episode to actually get more ppl..Hope others try it and reply here ? anyway, my impression using it 10 mins - no way I would pay for this.

[@apexblake]

Fair critique, I stopped working on it after a few months so it is certainly not as good as it could be imo. The numbers are not inflated though, you can check out SensorTower + other app reporting software to verify.

just be excellent at what you are doing (because most people are average) We developers were a bit worried about Chat GPT when it came out. In reality it's pretty stupid and just a better stack overflow. Might save you from typing a bit once it's integrated with IDEs, but you still need to know what you're doing to use it usefully and spot when it's making idiotic errors. Basically, just carry on.

You’re a very smart dude. But I feel like using AI and technology to generate a response is deceptive to the person on the other side. Because when they meet face-to-face and realize that this individual that seemed to always say the best things through text wasn’t nearly as intelligent or clever in person. For me personally, intelligence is everything. I would not want to waste my time connecting with someone through an app feeling like, I may have met a potential like-minded person, only to find out they’re a freaking moron.

ChatGPT didn’t build your App. Which application did you use?

[@glowshedfilms]

I've been doing this for the last year, more for developing creative tools. You explain the problem, GPT provides the code, you pipe that into Visual Studio Code, save the script, compile / build. Granted there's a lot of trial and error back and forth, but it gets there. I've built several apps with zero knowledge of the code involved. If you can copy and paste, and you have a problem to solve, then you have all you need! :) I have a video on my channel showing in real time how i built a creative tool from start to finish in 45 minutes using GPT; kzbin.info/www/bejne/rKizapqCoLeqf6s

[@1StopToyShop]

You ask gpt for that question . I’ve tried and told gpt I’m clueless to code so spoon feed me everything step by step

[@glowshedfilms]

@@1StopToyShop yup, exactly! It's important to give GPT context of who you are. Don't be afraid to say; "im absolutely clueless, I have no idea how to code, now spoon feed me the instructions like i'm a child! :) To expand on this video as an example you would begin by planning, example; begin with the outline, say; "i'm building a app for iphone, (give GPT a detailed outline of the app goals), give me a break down of what i need to accomplish this goal, specifically the technical process, how do I build the app, how do I deploy the app, provide this to me in a list of logical steps that I can follow progressively to build the basic skeleton app for testing. The important step at this stage is simply to brain storm the idea with GPT and get an outline of all the technologies that will be used, how it's deployed and so forth. Write everything down, trust me GPT has a short memory, so its good to have a notepad document open in the background. Then once you have an outline ask GPT; how would a professional developer set up the scripts structure in a modular way that avoids dependency? how do i create those scripts? show me a script / file structure, provide me with the scripts using placeholder code for now. (download and use Visual Studio Code - ask GPT how to do that!) copy and paste in to VSC editor and save. Then begins the process of going back and forth with GPT to flesh out each of the scripts. Get to a point where you have the most basic skeleton app that can be tested. Also ask GPT how to test it. Once its working, then slowly begin to go through and build each feature one at a time. To be honest this is a lot of back and forth, GPT gives you code, sometimes it works, sometimes it does not, you see errors, copy paste the errors to GPT, GPT revises the code and you test again .. back and forth :) Eventually it does get there. Speak to GPT like a human collaborator, which feels odd, but trust me it seems to be provide better results. Good luck! :)
