Crazy Shit I Saw At MAU Vegas 2026
the two COOLEST vendors I spoke with:
ContextSDK -
this project is so cool. install their SDK in your app, and you will be able to know if your user is sitting/standing/walking/on train/in bed. you can use this to serve conditionally shorter/longer onboarding, different pricing, or even to *time your push notifications* for when a user is actually on their phone. i tested it in person, saw it working accurately in real time. literally laid down on the floor and it worked perfectly. many potential use cases
Day30 AI -
do you optimize your paid ads for a start_trial conversion event? do you get shitty leads that *don’t* convert to paid because of that? well imagine you only sent the start_trial event IF your user does some in-app activity that makes them more likely to pay
for example, imagine CalAI only sending Meta the start_trial event if the user doesn’t cancel tracks three meals in their first 24 hours. rather than sending Meta the start_trial event for users who cancel/never track. this is what Day30 does, you just give them access to your Mixpanel api
but also, you don’t arbitrarily choose the in-app activity that triggers your event. i believe Day30 constantly monitors the behaviors that make someone more/less likely to convert and creates a probabilistic model tailored for your app. so you’re not *guessing* at what activity makes people likely to convert, you are by default optimizing for the *true* activity that makes people likely to convert
^ i’m not sponsored by these guys or anyone. i just love what they’re doing
will share more random stuff from MAU
