Hey all 👋 This is Philippe, founder of Waverly. My team and I are excited to share this launch with the Product Hunt community! 💡Why Waverly? Prompts can be used to draw images but we wondered: what if we could use them to improve our content feeds? In Waverly you can write a prompt, see those of your friends (or of famous users!), tweak them and craft your ideal feed of daily articles. All from a distraction-free iPhone app. 🙋‍♀️What problem are we solving? Waverly is fighting distraction, misinformation, and echo chamber on online platforms by offering content curated and driven by your intentions, expressed in plain words. We think that empowering users and communities with prompt-driven algorithms is going to be a game changer. Curious to learn more? Just install the app on your iPhone, find prompts that you love, or create your own! Looking forward to your feedback, questions, and opinions!

@philbeaudoin This is a great initiative, long form content is really being criminally ignored simply because people don't have the time to separate what's good from what isn't. Waverly should help immensely in this regard 🙌

@philbeaudoin We are so excited to hear more about Waverly and how it is solving problems with distraction, misinformation and echo chambers online. It sounds like a great idea - we can't wait to give it a try!

This is a really nice idea! Can visualize many use cases where this can be used. With prompt engineering gaining increasing traction, a product like this is definitely something the landscape needs. Congratulations!

@manansuri27 Definitely! Thank you for believing in what we do Manan! This means a lot to us!

@kiracheung I sincerely believe that this would work amazingly well with blogging sites! Imagine medium, but you can explain exactly the kind of articles you want--- and correspondingly write an article and control the audience it will be attractive to!

@manansuri27 love this idea! Right now, we find articles beyond one aggregator (I.e Medium) and get articles from the entire internet for you! I love how you are a step ahead of us and thinking where our potential’s at! Love it and thank you!
Manan Suri
@kiracheung Exactly, I love your approach! To clarify, I meant to say that in addition to browsing different aggregators, users could also be given an option to write blogs/articles and publish them within Waverly. Would love to discuss if something like this is on your horizon next! Cheers!

The importance of feed ranking algorithms can't be understated — and transparency in what goes into them has been elusive and hard to come by... until now. We've seen how powerful prompt sharing is for AI Art — now imagine that same level of social generativity applied to for news and content ranking algorithms. That's what Waverly is working on — and it's definitely worth a look!

Thank you for hunting us @chrismessina ! I have been so grateful to be part of the team building Waverly and part of the future in shaping how we consume content 🙌 Please ask away your questions or share your feedback! Looking forward to hearing from all of you!

@chrismessina Merci Chris! We wholeheartedly believe in the vision you describe. We think more agency for users means platforms that are better aligned with the experience we desire — individually and as online communities. Imagine an online community having an AI assistant that understood their vision and helped promote content and conversations that brought this vision forward… Pompt engineering for your content feed is the first step towards this world !

Hey @chrismessina, quick question for you... My love for this problem space dates back to our days together at Google. You were building Google+ and I was looking from afar, building Chrome. One thing you wrote that really sticked with me and influenced my trajectory was "The Social Agent" — a concept for a browser that would really act as the user's agent to help them make sense of the complex information environment they travel through. Have you kept thinking about this? What's your take on the future of such advanced "user agents"?

Hey! This is super cool! As a former journalist-turned-content marketer, I spend most days reading and writing online. I use Pocket to save articles. But many of the articles they recommend to me don't seem based on what I've saved or read in the past. (It's good for finding popular articles that I may have missed, but not so great for going deep on topics that are currently capturing my attention.) I'm excited to give this a try and see where it goes. ChatGPT gives me the heebie-jeebies. It's nice to see some AI that isn't trying to take my job but acts as more of a supplement to it. Also, I love the tagline "Read With Intention." Anytime I go on Twitter or LinkedIn looking for relevant content, let me tell you—that's the complete opposite of what I do :P Take care and congrats on the launch! 🚀

@matthew_ritchie Thank you Matthew! 🙏 We have some journalist users and this is what they like. One told us at some point he like Waverly because he got some "free" articles everyday, without searching for it.

@matthew_ritchie "It's nice to see some AI that isn't trying to take my job but acts as more of a supplement to it." <--- So very much this! ChatGPT might be able to pump out filler pieces, but it's going to be a while before it can replace a human thinking hard about a problem and turning it into a meaningful article others can consume. We need platforms that are good at surfacing that type of content, and we believe we can achieve it by empowering users and communities to craft what "good" means to them. Looking forward to onboarding you and all the thoughtful writers out there — and their readers too!

@yoshua_bengio If you're the one asking for it then we'll definitely have to roll-up our sleeves and do it! ;) More seriously, we're planning a seed raise in Q1 to boost the team so we can tackle other platforms.

This is such a fantastic product. I've been using it as a content generation source for a community I have created. Waverly saves me soooo much time sifting through the BS to find relevant articles that our community rabidly consumes. I'm a huge fan.

@seanpower thank you Sean for being an early supporter! It always feels cliché but it's really important for builder! 🙏

@philbeaudoin Selfishly, our community is on Discord mostly, so discord integration suuure would be great. :). I think there's a tremendous opportunity for enterprises to make use of Waverly in a highly meaningful way.

@seanpower Communities — and good integration with their current favorite spots — are very much on our minds. As soon as a community grows, the members' behaviour are what shapes it... However, what gets promoted as good behavior (or a good share) is totally in the hands of the big techs recommender systems today. Can you imagine being able to share your community's rules of engagement with an AI that would then help implement them?
