Meet Noscroll, an AI bot that does your doomscrolling for you

What if you could outsource your doomscrolling? That is the premise behind the new startup No scrollwhich offers an AI-powered bot that can browse your social feeds, news sites and other online chatter, then text you when something important happens.

“no food. no brain rot. no anger,” reads Noscroll’s pitch to users. just give me a heads up.”

The idea itself is quite simple: it’s a bot that reads the internet for you. But for it to work, a lot has to happen under the hood.

Nadav Hollander — previously the CTO at NFT marketplace OpenSea after selling his decentralized finance startup to the company in 2022 — said he built Noscroll because he had a love-hate relationship with X. He took time off after leaving his job at OpenSea, spending a lot of time on the social platform.

“It’s phenomenally entertaining and very informative in ways you just don’t get from normal media,” Hollander told TechCrunch. “But culturally it’s so toxic, and it’s just very disturbing to read,” he said, comparing it to the nutritional equivalent of fast food. “You just feel terrible afterwards.”

Hollander said he wanted to leave the app without missing the news and content. That inspired him to build Noscroll, which was launched to the public just a few days ago.

To get started with the service, simply text to No scroll AI agent directly at (415) 718-4828 and will send you a link to connect your X account to the service. This authentication provides Noscroll with information about your likes, bookmarks, and the accounts and posts you follow.

The bot uses a variety of off-the-shelf AI models that run on the company’s own infrastructure. The models have been modified by popular request, so that the bot has its own unique voice and communication style.

You can chat with the AI ​​agent in natural language and tell it what kind of news or topics you want to keep informed about, as well as what doesn’t interest you. A sample summary is then prepared.

To operate, the AI ​​pulls in information from outside of X, including news sites, blogs, Reddit, Hacker News, Substack and more. It can even tap into things like research papers, local politics, or other resources you need. (You can also recommend specific sources if you want to make sure it’s checked.)

Then, instead of spending your time scrolling through endless social media feeds to stay on top of the news that matters to you, Noscroll sends you news summaries via text at the cadence that works best. For example, a casual user might want to receive a weekly update on a topic, while a news junkie might want to receive text messages several times a day.

These summaries are essentially a collection of news links along with a short AI summary of the article. If you’d like to learn more, you can tap the links to open them in your favorite web browser and read the article in full.

You can also interact with the AI ​​bot to ask questions and have conversations about the news you’re reading, just like with other AI chatbots. Or you can add it to a group chat or Telegram group to engage others with the service. (Other chat apps will be supported later, we’re told.)

The bot also knows when there is important news worth watching immediately and will send you a text message as soon as this happens.

Over time, the AI ​​learns what you care about and uses that to better manage the types of information it sends you, the company claims.

Although the bot currently costs $9.99 per month to use, it will send you a sample news feed for free so you can tailor it to your interests and try it out for seven days. You can cancel the subscription at any time. Hollander notes that Noscroll could experiment with variable pricing in the future.

While there’s an obvious use case for those in the tech industry who struggle to keep up with the constant flow of daily AI news and updates, Noscroll isn’t limited to tech topics. You can follow just about anything: reality TV, your favorite band, local news, your friends’ posts, your unread newsletters, or anything else that interests you.

Hollander is surprised to see how people are using it outside of technology.

“People [are] after really niche news from the anime industry and the opening of local restaurants in Kyoto,” he says.

Users try to stay informed about vacancies, dismissal registration and more. Journalists have also used the tool to track things like local politics and events.

“I think the archetype that’s interesting is anyone who has a professional need to be very online and monitor things closely. It’s quite useful to have a deputy who does that for you, at whatever pace,” he adds.

The AI ​​bot has seen rapid adoption, he says, and has already attracted interest from investors. Hollander, who built the bot together with his friend, an open source developer from the crypto world who only uses the username @z0age on X, says the two haven’t decided yet on what to do with the incoming attention.
