Jake Castillo, co-founder of Cal AI (a $50M run-rate app), published his complete AI UGC growth workflow: find videos already going viral in your niche, test ONE AI-generated video before committing to a batch, then hand the winning concepts to real creators for organic and paid social.
He gives away the full article, 13 prompts, and a Claude skill built for the top video generation models. Prajwal Tomar, who shared it, calls it a must-have for his AI app studio and believes AI UGC is the future of app marketing.
