Sonnet 5 at $2/M tokens. Fable 5 back after 18-day Washington ban, muzzled. Alibaba: 25,000 fake accounts to distill Claude. Apple +50%, memory swallowed by AI datacenters. GPT-5.6 Sol blocked by decree.
The week models got cheaper and releasing AI became a political act.
ASO is underrated for distributing iOS apps.
According to Twitter, the meta is doing organic TikToks with AI videos. Bullshit. Unless you spend a fortune on tools or influencers, your videos are going to cap at 200 views.
The only real solution for an indie dev is ASO.
But asking Claude or ChatGPT "You are an ASO expert, find me keywords for a todo list app" yields sketchy results. And honestly, I can't be bothered to pay for yet another third-party SaaS tool.
So I solved the problem: I built my own MCP server.
Now, my AI agents have access to qualified data via a homegrown ASO engine, right inside my terminal. The result on my app WAKU: I went from top 100 to top 5 on several keywords.
ASO built right into your code with the right tools, there is nothing more powerful.

OpenAI launches GPT-5.6 on June 26th. Sol at $5/M input tokens. Fable 5 charges $10. Half price, restricted to 20 approved companies. Washington approved the list.
That same week: SpaceX pulls $1.25 billion per month from Anthropic. $920 million from Google. $150 million from Reflection AI. One datacenter. One owner. All the frontier AI infrastructure.
DeepSeek closes a $7.4B raise at a $50B valuation. Doubles every department. Starts building its own chips. Because US export controls made Nvidia GPUs sell at 2x price on China's black market.
The week where models got cheaper, compute got more concentrated, and the West started regulating while China started building.
SEO and brand identity are dead.
That’s the obvious conclusion for anyone blindly delegating everything to AI, without taking the time to build a proper system where humans validate the content and provide the vision.
For the blog of Koda (my ASO tool), I initially let AI generate everything without any SEO strategy or art direction. The result? It was ugly, flat, and completely soulless.
So I rebuilt the whole process. I set up an automated pipeline but added multiple validation steps, wrapped in a strong, painting-style art direction to break away from generic designs.
Side-by-side video below (left: the old blog / right: the new one). The design might not appeal to everyone and my copywriting still needs work, but the framework works: +10% traffic on the site.
