Gen Z hangs out on TikTok, and most of them are still in school or college.
That’s why a study app showing up in their feed meets them right where they are, just when they need it.
Meet Memenome AI, a personal study helper that turns long reading into short, easy-to-watch videos.
The site turns PDFs and notes into AI-made summaries and brain rot you can customize.
They call it “goofy ahh study tools” to vibe with Gen Z.
They registered the domain in November 2024.
The site likely went live in June 2025 — that’s when organic traffic first showed up.
Right now, they get around 9.5K visits a month, with a peak of 12.7K just last month.
Memenome AI was built by two students.
Jackie Ni is the founder and CEO, currently at Columbia (Class of 2026).
William Cen is the CTO, with a Computer Science degree from Caltech.
Before this, they started MemePAC in 2020, an open-source tool for scraping social media accounts.
Their MemePAC TikTok blew up, hitting over 15 million views and 300K followers.
Rolling it out
Memenome runs on a three-tier subscription model.
The Free tier ($0) is built to attract new users.
The Chat tier ($5/month) removes watermarks from videos.
The Rizzler tier ($20/month) gives users access to dedicated servers, which means faster results, better video quality, and more reliable processing for big documents.
At the moment they run 23 accounts and have reached virality on all mainstream platforms: TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.
Altogether, their content has pulled in 100.9 million views, 342K shares and 220K bookmarks.
Out of all accounts, three that stand out for crazy virality.
@memenomejackie is the username of Jackie Ni accounts (CEO).
He has gone viral on both Instagram and YouTube.
He reached ~47M views on Instagram and ~12M views on YouTube with just 2 videos.
This is the craziest blunt rotation: 13.7M views on Instagram, 2M views on YouTube.
Starts the video by showing a couple of different famous characters:
He follows up by getting them to teach him calculus using their site.
The second video is a “I made a website called…” format that pulled in 33.6M views on Instagram and 10M views on YouTube.
He kicks off the video by going to his site, the one with the brain rot name.
He follows up, hyped, saying you can just drag in long texts and it turns them into a brain rot video.
The other account that reached extreme virality was @alexismaxxed.
Most of her viral hits came from her “LeBron” study videos.
- My younger brother loves LeBron James and I just figured out how he studies.
- bruh I just found out how my younger brother studies for exams
On top of the rest of the videos, they still did pretty well on the branded pages.
They seem to have deleted most of their videos but kept a winning format.
Faceless promos of their “PDF to Brainrot” feature got them viral in 2024.

The product is the marketing
Memenome is a case study on how two students were clever and identified a unique opportunity within Gen Z.
The platform’s success comes from a brilliantly simple loop where the core features are the marketing.
They built a product with a perfect one-two punch: its content has insane TikTok virality potential, while its core function is so appealing to Gen Z that viewers don’t just watch, they convert.
