A common pattern in consumer AI over the last couple years: An app that generates AI portraits of you will go viral—but then users churn after a few days. I started advising one of these apps last year called @vybeappp and the goal was to turn it into a durable app. We started with this question: In what context would people need generative portraits on a recurring basis? The founder @mandelapatrick_ dug into the data and found that some users were sticking around: they were trying on different clothes using the app. So we redesigned the app to be exclusively focused on this use-case. But most importantly, we integrated it into their existing patterns of behavior: a mobile safari extension that would intercept the user every time they were shopping. Just tap a button to try on the item on any page. They just shipped it and the results blew past all expectations: Retention nearly 4x. Once the user enabled the extension, they were essentially retained for life. And even better, it unlocked a better revenue stream: instead of a subscription that users would inevitably cancel, VYBE simply collects a commission in the background off every purchase into perpetuity.

to go from taking pics at random college bars every weekend to taking pics for the official @joinswsh album for rolling loud was unreal. someone pinch me.
Underneath the technology, crypto has always been about people – their trust, their communities, their relationships. Yet we’ve built an ecosystem that treats users like anonymous addresses, forcing them to rebuild their social identity with every new app and experience.
Steve Jobs: "You have to start with the customer experience and work backward to the technology."
