clashup

ClashUp™ : l’app vidéo qui transforme l’humour en clash, et le clash en moteur d’engagement.

The Idea origin story

ClashUp™ est une plateforme vidéo satirique et participative où l’humour devient un jeu. Les utilisateurs postent une vidéo courte, ajoutent une vanne, et la scène réagit : votes, clashs, punchlines. Pas de likes, pas d’algorithme opaque — juste de l’expression libre, gamifiée et fun. Les meilleurs contenus gagnent des ClashCoins™, des badges, et une place dans le Hall of Fame. Sinon, ils se font recaler (avec style) par notre IA satirique, La Gepette™. C’est une réponse culturelle à un digital devenu trop lisse.

The Mission

Ma mission est de faire de l'humour une force créative et transformer l'expression sociale en jeu. Je vise à faire de ClashUp™ la scène globale incontournable de l'humour libre et créatif.

Clients

réateurs de contenu, humoristes, jeunes en quête d’expression libre, publics saturés des réseaux classiques, marques créatives cherchant des formats fun, natifs et participatifs.

Problems we solve

Client’s problem

Les réseaux sociaux étouffent la créativité : contenus lissés, algorithmes opaques, humour aseptisé. Les créateurs se censurent, les publics se lassent. ClashUp™ recrée une scène libre, où l’humour reprend sa place, où chaque vidéo devient un geste, un clash, un jeu. Plus de fun, plus d’engagement, plus de sens.

Confirmation of problem

The problem is serious because humor — once vital and liberating — is now censored, sanitized, even suspect in a digital world ruled by blandness, fear, and algorithmic conformity.

Solution

A gamified video platform where humor is a weapon, expression a game, and the audience the judge. No likes, no filters — just clash, punchlines, and creative freedom.

Our technologies

This solution is based on technologies

Built with a mobile-first stack using React Native, Node.js, and scalable cloud infrastructure. AI moderation powered by custom satirical scripts and simple gamified logic.

How it works

Users upload a 30s video, add a punchline, and the crowd reacts. Votes earn ClashCoins™, badges, and status. If it flops, La Gepette™ — our satirical AI — claps back with style.

Competitors

Competitors

Major competitors are TikTok, Instagram Reels, BeReal and YouTube Shorts in short-video format. Konbini and Brut with a humoristic touch but lack interaction. ClashUp™ is unique by providing a satirical, gamified space without filters where videos become an expressive game.

Our Advantages

ClashUp™ transforme chaque vidéo en geste créatif : ici, on ne like pas, on clash. Pas d’algorithme opaque, mais une scène libre, drôle et méritocratique. L’humour redevient un jeu, l’engagement un moteur, avec une IA satirique unique (La Gepette™) et une économie participative (ClashCoins™, badges, Hall of Fame). Un anti-réseau social assumé, pensé pour une génération en manque de fun.

Business model

We monetize through ClashCoins™, community merch, and native ads people want to see — co-created, funny, and filtered by La Gepette™, our satirical AI. No boring ads, only creative clashes.
