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!
@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!
@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"?
