What You’ll Learn

你将学到什么

  • Why does Project A clear $64,000 a month when nobody checks if a reading came true?
  • Who runs AI readings at 90% margin against 45 to 55% for human astrologers?
  • How did Tight Saju go from 10 million to 1 billion won a month in a year?
  • Apple now refuses new fortune-telling apps and may remove old ones. Where do you launch instead?
  • Which reading forms have search demand and no app founders name?
  • 为什么 Project A 每月能收入 64,000 美元,而没人去验证占卜结果是否应验?
  • AI 占卜的利润率高达 90%,而人类占星师的利润率仅为 45% 到 55%,是谁在运营 AI 占卜?
  • Tight Saju 是如何在一年内从月收入 1000 万韩元增长到 10 亿韩元的?
  • 苹果现在拒绝新的算命应用上架,并可能下架旧应用。你该在哪里发布替代产品?
  • 哪些占卜形式有搜索需求,却没有知名应用创始人?

Why It Matters

为什么这很重要

A personal reading once sold by the minute now costs one API call to generate.

过去按分钟计费的个人占卜,现在只需一次 API 调用即可生成。

Buyers rarely check if it came true.

买家很少去验证占卜结果是否应验。

Problem

问题

You have a decision you can’t make at 2am and nobody is awake to make it with you.

你在凌晨两点面临一个无法做出的决定,且无人清醒地陪你一起抉择。

A therapist is $150 an hour and 3 weeks out. You’d pay a few dollars for an answer now.

心理咨询师每小时收费 150 美元,且预约需等待三周。你愿意花几美元立刻得到一个答案。

Solution

解决方案

AI fortune-telling apps generate a personal reading using AI.

AI 算命应用利用人工智能生成个人占卜解读。

They help you make decisions based on tarot, astrology, Korean saju, Chinese bazi charts, a photo of your coffee cup or palm.

它们帮助你基于塔罗牌、占星术、韩国四柱(Saju)、中国八字排盘、咖啡杯照片或手相来做出决策。

Risks

风险

  • Statute Risk • Check whether your market’s country bans professional fortune-telling before you launch: Turkey detained Faladdin’s founder under a 1925 law.
  • App Store Refusal • Expect Apple to refuse your submission and to remove listed apps it judges cookie-cutter.
  • Unreliable Sizing • Plan on disclosed company numbers only: 4 market reports put the same year between $1.26 billion and $8.28 billion.
  • 法规风险 • 在启动前检查目标市场所在国是否禁止专业算命:土耳其依据1925年的法律拘留了Faladdin的创始人。
  • 应用商店拒绝 • 预期Apple会拒绝你的提交申请,并下架其判定为千篇一律的应用程序。
  • 规模估算不可靠 • 仅规划基于已披露的公司数据:4份市场报告对同一年市场规模的估计介于12.6亿美元至82.8亿美元之间。

Key Lessons

关键经验教训

  • Tell the buyer the reading settles a decision and charge per reading. The businesses the FTC sued sold the same reading as a $5 trial with a hidden $45 renewal.
  • Pick the form and the language before the feature list. Each winner owns one form in one language (coffee cups in Turkish, saju webtoons in Korean) and no English leader in 8 reading forms (tarot, astrology, saju, bazi, coffee cups, palmistry, dream journals, I Ching).
  • 告知买家解读有助于做出决策,并按次收费。FTC起诉的那些企业将相同的解读包装成5美元的试用,却隐藏了45美元的自动续费条款。
  • 在功能列表之前确定形式和语言。每个赢家都独占一种语言中的一种形式(土耳其语的咖啡渣占卜,韩语的四柱网络漫画),而在8种解读形式(塔罗、占星、四柱、八字、咖啡渣占卜、手相、梦境日记、易经)中,没有英语领导者。

Hot Takes

犀利观点

  • The photo is the moat against models. A birth date pastes into any chatbot. A cup does not.
  • The reading is graded on how the buyer felt, so a model that never met them can do the job.
  • 照片是抵御模型的护城河。出生日期可以粘贴到任何聊天机器人中,但杯子不行。
  • 占卜的评分取决于买家的感受,因此一个从未与他们谋面的模型也能胜任这项工作。

Haters

反对者

“You’re selling snake oil to anxious people at 2am.”

"你在凌晨两点向焦虑的人兜售蛇油(骗局)。"

Say on the page what the reading is and charge per reading. Pew found 20% of people who consult astrology or tarot do it for fun and 1% rely on it for big decisions. The version the FTC sued hid a $45 renewal behind a $5 reading.

在页面上明确说明占卜服务的内容,并按次收费。Pew 发现,咨询占星术或塔罗牌的人群中,20% 是为了娱乐,1% 依赖它来做重大决定。FTC 起诉的版本将 45 美元的续费隐藏在 5 美元的占卜费用背后。

“ChatGPT reads charts for free. You’re charging for a prompt.”

"ChatGPT 免费解读星盘。你竟然为提示词收费。"

Sell what the chatbot lacks: the ritual (cup, cards, chart), last month’s reading and a voice from one tradition. AstroSage’s AI astrologer sits beside a free chatbot and its AI revenue grew 20% a month for 18 months. Build those 3 or the objection stands.

销售聊天机器人所缺乏的东西:仪式感(杯子、卡牌、星盘)、上个月的占卜结果以及来自某一传统的声音。AstroSage 的 AI 占星师与免费聊天机器人并列存在,其 AI 收入连续 18 个月每月增长 20%。构建这三大要素,否则异议依然存在。

“The readers you replace are the ones who recommend you. Replace them and they stop sending you customers.”

"你所取代的读者正是那些向你推荐的人。取代他们,他们就不再给你介绍客户了。"

Sell the drafting tool to the readers whose customers pay for their name. The CHI 2026 study found them already drafting with AI in private and their forums banning the topic. Kaave kept one human reader beside its AI personas.

将起草工具卖给那些客户为其名字付费的读者。CHI 2026 的研究发现,他们已经在私下使用 AI 进行起草,且他们的论坛禁止讨论该话题。Kaave 在其 AI 人格旁边保留了一位真人读者。
