18-year-old boy made 56 million through ChatGPT shelling

In the wave of artificial intelligence, many young people are achieving financial freedom through innovative ways. 18-year-old Zach Yadegari and 23-year-old Blake Anderson are among the best. They used ChatGPT's no-code development capabilities to successfully launch a calorie tracking application called Cal AI, creating 5,600 users in just one year. A staggering income of $10,000.

The core function of Cal AI is to identify food calories by taking photos. The operation is simple. Users only need to upload photos of food to obtain detailed calorie and nutritional analysis. This innovative design makes Cal AI stand out from many similar products. According to Zach's sharing, Cal AI relies on advanced AI image recognition technology with an accuracy rate of up to 90%, which greatly exceeds the performance of traditional applications.

The app’s success is due not only to its excellent product design, but also to a precise marketing strategy. Zach and Blake quickly increased brand awareness through KOL partnerships, paid advertising, and virality. Especially on social platforms such as TikTok, they have cooperated with KOLs in the health field to naturally integrate the functions of Cal AI into lifestyle videos, attracting the attention of a large number of users.

Cal AI’s pricing strategy is also quite attractive. The monthly fee is only US$10 and the annual fee is US$30, which is far lower than that of similar products on the market. This user-centered pricing method helped Cal AI accumulate a large number of users in a short period of time and achieve considerable business returns.

It is worth noting that before launching Cal AI, Anderson had successfully developed two AI applications-Plug AI and Umax, which are love assistants and male dressing assistants respectively. The secret of their success lies not only in the innovation of the product itself, but also in its keen insight into market needs and efficient marketing strategies. The success stories of these young people prove that in the AI ​​era, creativity and execution will become key competitiveness.
