Besides ChatGPT, relatively few AI consumer apps have become breakout hits. But one app maker’s experience suggests there are plenty of lucrative consumer niches to be served. Seoul-based Wrtn Technologies says it’s generating than $8M in revenue a month from operating AI storytelling apps for hardcore anime and game fans in South Korea and Japan. Wrtn (pronounced “written”) is about to expand to the U. S. with a similar app called OOC, or “out of character,” a common term in the Dungeons & Dragons roleplaying game.
