Cal AI · B2C · AI calorie tracking app

Let creators make their usual videos and slip your app into them

Creators called it their easiest brand deal; views stay predictable

How: Cal AI gives influencers only light rules (show the app this way, bring it in by a set second, tag in the caption) and full creative control, so it can price deals on their average views.

“They always said we were the easiest brand deal they ever had cause we gave them full creative control.”

Cal AI · B2C · AI calorie tracking app

Show your app as early in creator videos as you can without losing views

Sweet spot was 20-30 seconds in; earlier hurt views

How: Cal AI started with a late required second mark so videos wouldn't feel like ads, then moved it earlier video by video. Earlier helps conversions, later helps views; the right point differs by app.

“we've tested bringing it in bringing it in a little earlier and earlier, and then like we found the sweet spot where like this is the earliest we can get it in without it impacting views.”
