Hey Product Hunt 👋
I'm Joan and with @franco_quattroqui, we are building Flare from Rosario, Argentina, where Messi was born.
We built Flare because social apps stopped feeling social. People still want connection, but posting now feels like performance, comparison, and anxiety.
So we built Flare around voice.
In Flare, you capture real moments: photos, short videos, or moods. Behind the scenes, AI agents turn those moments into memory, identity, and friendship context. Then your Orb talks back about what matters: your day, your patterns, and the people close to you.
There are no likes, followers, comments, or feeds of strangers. Just you, your friends, and a social app you listen to instead of scrolling.
Our bet is simple: text created Facebook and Twitter, photos created Instagram and Snapchat, video created TikTok, and voice creates the next social primitive.
We launched the MVP this week. We’d love feedback on whether the Orb feels personal, whether listening makes social feel different, and what would make you come back every day.

@curiouskitty Great question.
The hardest tradeoff was not giving ourselves the easy escape hatch: a feed.
A feed makes the product instantly understandable, but it also brings back the same behavior we’re trying to get away from: scrolling, comparing, checking reactions, optimizing what you post.
With the Orb, the pressure is different. It has to earn the right to speak. If it talks too often, it’s annoying. If it talks too long, it becomes a podcast. If it says something generic, the whole thing feels fake.
So we intentionally didn’t build likes, comments, follower counts, trending content, or a stranger feed. We also removed camera-roll posting because it immediately turns into curation.
The core loop we’re trying to get right is simple: capture real moments, let the agents understand enough context, and have the Orb say something specific enough that it feels like your social life talking back, not a feed with narration.

Introducing @Flare today 🚀
We’re building a different kind of social app: no likes, no followers, no stranger feed. Just real moments, close friends, and an AI Orb that helps you understand your life and friendships through voice.
Would love your feedback on the first version especially on what would make the Orb feel surprisingly useful from day one.
