## Client Overview

[PressPlay](https://phiture.com/pressplay/) is a GenAI software solution designed
by Phiture to optimize App Store Optimization (ASO) through autonomous A/B testing.
The platform allows for scalable asset creation, automation of experiments, and 
data collection to deliver meaningful insights. PressPlay directly integrates with
Google Play, enabling mobile apps and games to accelerate their growth by rapidly
testing and refining store listing elements.

## Objective

The primary goal of the six-week pilot program was to drive new installs for _Found
It!_—targeting key markets like the US, UK, Canada, India, Japan, and Canada. The
core objectives were:

 * Automate the creation and testing of short descriptions and icons.
 * Identify the highest-converting assets and apply them globally.
 * Achieve significant increases in install conversion rates (CVR).

## Solution

Phiture leveraged PressPlay’s GenAI-powered A/B testing capabilities to automate
and accelerate ASO experimentation. Key features of the solution included:

 * **GenAI Asset Creation:** Automatically generating hundreds of store listing 
   assets like short descriptions, icons, and feature graphics, tailored to each
   app’s needs.
 * **Experiment Assistant:** A self-learning system that manages, monitors, and 
   kills non-performing experiments, freeing up test slots for more promising assets.
 * **Scalable Testing:** Over 100 experiments were launched in just five weeks, 
   with AI identifying winning assets and replicating them globally across multiple
   markets.

## Com­pounding Growth⏎ _on Autopilot_

The pilot demonstrated strong results, particularly for the _Found It!_ app, which
saw a **20% global lift in installs**, validated at a global scale. This uplift 
was driven by highly effective icon tests, which provided a statistically significant
increase in conversion rates. The first successful icon test resulted in a 12% increase
in installs over a period of 20 days. Following this, another icon variation led
to an additional 8% increase in installs after 8 days. This incremental testing 
approach **compounded the overall growth**, leading to a significant boost in conversion
rates, as each winning experiment built upon the results of the previous one, maximizing
_Found It!_’s install rate.

 * **100 experiments** run in six weeks
 * **600k projected annual additional installs**
 * **20% lift in global installs** for _Found It!_

## Next Steps

Based on the success of the pilot, Phiture scaled the A/B testing framework to new
titles and continued to iterate on high-performing assets. The next phase includes:

 1. **Global Expansion:** Applying the winning icons for Found It! to all markets.
 2. **New Titles:** Expanding to new apps to further enhance testing capabilities, 
    like Hexa Sort
 3. **GenAI and Automation:** Continuing to evolve PressPlay’s GenAI technology to 
    handle more complex asset creation.

For Hexa Sort specifically, Phiture utilized PressPlay’s **fine-tuning** capabilities
to produce assets that are aligned with the original art style.

## Conclusion

Phiture’s [PressPlay](https://phiture.com/pressplay/) platform demonstrated its 
ability to rapidly drive app growth by automating A/B testing and scaling high-performing
assets. With 100 experiments deployed in five weeks and a significant uplift in 
installs, this pilot provides a solid foundation for future testing and growth across
new app titles.
