How to Use AI Ads to Drive $1.4M+ in App Revenue

In this episode, we’re joined by Romain Torres, co-founder of Arcads.ai — a platform using AI to automate ad creation and scale paid user acquisition like never before.

Romain’s not just another founder—he's scaled and sold multiple startups, including an intermittent fasting app that hit $2M in revenue in just 9 months. He's helped scale apps to $8M using AI-generated videos, avatars, and agents—and today, he's revealing how indie devs can tap into the same power.

We’ll break down how to scale paid ads with AI, automate creatives, and turn performance data into profitable campaigns using tools that small teams can actually afford.

Whether you want to automate and launch paid ads faster, lower your CAC, or scale to millions—this episode is a masterclass in AI-powered growth.

You will discover:

✅ The exact AI tools you can use to automate paid ads

✅ Why “AI actors” are the future of video ad creatives

✅ How to build hundreds of ad variations from just one script
