Anti-doomscrolling

"Your AI reads 2,000 tweets a day so you don't have to. Get the 10 that actually matter — every morning."

A

The Idea

An AI-powered agent that continuously monitors X (Twitter) on your behalf, scores thousands of posts daily against your stated interests and goals, and delivers a single curated daily brief of 5–10 high-signal posts with 30-second TL;DR summaries. The app replaces doomscrolling with a focused, time-boxed reading experience and includes weekly trend digests and a "scroll budget" that locks you out once you've consumed your brief.

Who It's For

Startup founders, VCs, growth marketers, and knowledge workers aged 25–45 who rely on X for industry signal but resent the time it wastes. Secondary: teams who need competitive intelligence from social without assigning someone to scroll all day.

What's Built

Build a web application (PWA-ready) focused on these features only:

  • Email/password authentication (sign-up, login, logout)
  • Onboarding flow: user selects 3–8 topics of interest and enters up to 10 X handles they already follow
  • Daily Digest page: shows 5–10 AI-curated posts with TL;DR summaries, sourced from X API based on the user's interest profile
  • Post detail expansion: tap a post to see full thread context and top replies (rendered in-app, no redirect to X)
  • Weekly Trends page: a summary of narrative shifts and emerging topics across the user's interest graph
  • Scroll Budget toggle: user sets a daily time/read limit; once hit, the app displays a lock screen until the next day
  • Background cron job: fetches and scores posts from X API on a scheduled basis (every 4 hours), stores results in DB

Explicitly out of scope for MVP: native mobile app, push notifications (use email instead), OAuth-based X login, paid subscriptions/billing, team/enterprise features.
