I Investigated the AI Astrology Business
Faladdin sells a million coffee-cup readings a day out of Istanbul at about 90% margin. The buyer rates the reading on how they felt when it ended, so a model that never met them can do the job. The business that survives the regulators is the one that says on the page what the reading is.
Featuring: Faladdin, AstroSage, Nebula, Astrotalk, Co-Star, FTC
