From Astra growth note, podcast episode

What was said about Astra

  • Astra plugged a horoscope app into an already viral TikTok content niche. Astra tapped the horoscope niche on TikTok with a "soulmate" picture framing that had already gone viral with other apps. Few horoscope apps do well, yet Astra was doing quite well at least a year before the episode.

    The takeaway is that a huge social media niche, such as motivation or horoscopes, can carry an app even when existing apps in the category have not validated it. A broad app like Cal AI can be plugged into many content niches. As the speaker puts it: "if you can find like a content niche that's very viral online and you can plug the app into it".
