Niche AI App Teardown & Growth Coaching

This week’s episode is something special, a live coaching session with Max Gorman, the 20-year-old indie dev behind CarSnap - an AI-powered app that helps users identify and compare cars in seconds.

Max built the entire app himself while studying Computer Science at the University of Michigan and working full-time as a software engineer. He’s grown the app with zero paid ads, leveraging influencer marketing, ASO, and scrappy growth tactics, but now he’s ready to take it to the next level.

Max is one of Steve’s youngest (and longest-time) followers and in this livestream, Steve coaches Max live - breaking down what’s working, what to improve, and how to grow CarSnap into a top-ranked AI app for car lovers. If you’re an indie dev building in public or working on your own apps, this is the real-time roadmap you’ve been looking for.

You will discover:

✅ Steve’s live teardown of CarSnap’s ASO strategy

✅ Quick wins for improving onboarding & retention

✅ Growth hacks for niche apps without paid ads

✅ How to stand out when your audience isn’t on the App Store
