I Recreated a $200K/Month App's Ads Using AI

Steve P. Young (App Masters) uses Shotsy (estimated $200K+/month per Similarweb) as an example of an app whose animated whiteboard explainer ads do well, then demos recreating that format for a made-up GLP-1 app ('GLP Pal') with Claude and the MaxFusion MCP: pulling competitor ads, analyzing one ad's script and scenes, writing a new 30-second script in the same format, animating scenes, adding an AI voiceover and captions, and saving the workflow as a Claude skill.

Shotsy · B2C · GLP-1 shot tracking app

Run whiteboard-sketch ads that explain a confusing problem, then show your app

Host calls it one of their best ads; a similar ad ran 23+ days; no numbers

Shotsy's whiteboard explainer ad is 32 seconds: the first half is hand-drawn sketches explaining something users are confused about (why day three after a GLP-1 shot feels worse), the second half shows the app as the answer. Other animated explainer ads in the same style were among Shotsy's top-performing ads, one running 23 days. The host's AI remake keeps the structure (about 30 seconds, a question the audience has, sketches drawn on the board, the app at the end, a download call to action) with a new topic and new lines.
