Imagine being able to delegate your doomscrolling to someone else. That's the concept behind Noscroll, a new startup that offers an AI-powered bot capable of browsing your social feeds, news sites, and online discussions, then sending you a text message when something noteworthy occurs. "No feed. No brainrot. No ragebit," Noscroll promises its users. "Just signal."

The concept is straightforward—it's a bot that reads the internet on your behalf. However, making it work requires significant behind-the-scenes complexity. Nadav Hollander, who previously served as CTO at the NFT marketplace OpenSea after selling his decentralized finance startup to the company in 2022, said he created Noscroll because he had a love-hate relationship with X. During a break after leaving OpenSea, he spent considerable time on the social platform. "But it's so toxic culturally, and it's just very upsetting to read," he remarked, likening it to the nutritional equivalent of fast food. "You just feel terrible after it."

Hollander wanted to step away from the app without losing access to news and content. This desire led him to build Noscroll, which launched publicly just a couple of days ago. To begin using the service, you simply text the Noscroll AI agent directly at (415) 583-7721, and it sends you a link to connect your X account. This authentication gives Noscroll access to your likes, bookmarks, and the accounts and posts you follow. The bot employs a mix of off-the-shelf AI models running on the company's proprietary infrastructure. These models have been fine-tuned with extensive prompting, giving the bot its own distinct voice and communication style. You can interact with the AI agent in natural language, specifying the types of news or topics you want to follow, as well as those you don't care about. It will then generate a sample digest for you.

To function effectively, the AI pulls information from sources beyond X, including news sites, blogs, Reddit, Hacker News, Substack, and more. It can also tap into research papers, local politics, or any other sources you need. (You can recommend specific sources if there's something you want it to check regularly.)

Instead of spending hours scrolling through endless social media feeds to stay informed about the news that matters to you, Noscroll sends news digests via text at a frequency that suits your preferences. For example, a casual user might opt for a weekly update on a topic, while a news enthusiast might want texts several times a day. These digests consist of a collection of news links accompanied by a brief AI summary of each article. If you want more details, you can click the links to open them in your preferred web browser and read the full article. You can also reply to the AI bot to ask questions and engage in conversations about the news, similar to other AI chatbots. Alternatively, you can add it to a group chat or Telegram group so others can interact with the service. (Support for other chat apps is expected later.)

The bot also detects breaking news that warrants immediate attention and will text you as events unfold.

Over time, the AI learns what you care about and uses this knowledge to better tailor the information it sends you, according to the company. While the bot currently costs $9.99 per month, it will provide a free sample news digest so you can customize it to your interests and try it out for 7 days. You can cancel your subscription at any time. Hollander notes that Noscroll may experiment with variable pricing in the future. Although there's an obvious appeal for tech industry professionals trying to keep up with the constant flow of AI news and updates, Noscroll isn't limited to tech topics. You can stay updated on virtually anything: reality TV, your favorite band, local news, your friends' posts, your unread newsletters, or any other subject that interests you. Hollander has been surprised by how people are using it outside of tech. "People [are] following really niche anime industry news and local restaurant openings in Kyoto," he says. Users are also tracking job listings, layoff monitoring, and more. Journalists have used the tool to follow local politics and events. "I think the archetype that's been interesting is anybody who has a professional need to be very online and follow things very closely. It's quite useful to have a deputy who's kind of doing that for you on whatever your beat is," he adds. The AI bot has seen rapid adoption, he says, and has already attracted investor interest. Hollander, who built the bot with his friend—an open source developer from the crypto world who goes by the username @z0age on X—says the pair haven't yet decided how to handle the inbound attention.
