Noscroll: An AI That Does Your Doomscrolling So You Don’t Have To

I’ve been waiting for someone to build this. Noscroll is exactly what it sounds like — an AI agent that scrolls through your social feeds, news sites, forums, and newsletters, then texts you when something actually worth your time pops up. No feed to get sucked into. No rage bait. Just a text message with a link and a summary.

The pitch is dead simple: “no feed. no brainrot. no rage bait. just signal.” And honestly, after spending years watching the timeline turn into a toxic dumpster fire while still needing to stay informed, this feels like a lifeline.

Nadav Hollander built this thing. You might remember him as the CTO of OpenSea after they acquired his DeFi startup back in 2022. He quit, took time off, and found himself in that familiar love/hate relationship with X. It’s the best source of real-time information on the internet, but the culture is absolutely exhausting. He compared it to fast food — phenomenally entertaining in the moment, makes you feel terrible afterward.

So he built Noscroll with a friend who goes by @z0age. It launched publicly a couple days ago and people are already all over it.

How it works is refreshingly straightforward. You text the bot at (415) 718-4828. It sends you a link to connect your X account. That gives it access to your likes, bookmarks, and who you follow. Then you tell it in plain English what you care about — and what you don’t. It pulls together a sample digest for free, and if you like it, you pay $9.99/month.

The bot doesn’t just scrape X. It pulls from news sites, blogs, Reddit, Hacker News, Substack, research papers, local politics, whatever you want. You can even recommend specific sources. It runs on a mix of off-the-shelf AI models with custom prompting to give it a consistent voice. The digests come via text at whatever cadence you set — could be weekly, daily, multiple times a day. Breaking news gets pushed immediately.

You can reply to the bot and have actual conversations about what you’re reading. You can drop it into a group chat or Telegram group. More chat apps are coming. It learns what you actually engage with over time and adjusts accordingly.

What surprised me is how people are using this outside of tech. Hollander mentioned users following niche anime industry news and local restaurant openings in Kyoto. Journalists are tracking local politics and events. People are monitoring job listings and layoff tracking. The common thread is anyone who has a professional need to stay very online without actually being online all day.

The bot has seen fast adoption and already attracted investor interest. Hollander and @z0age haven’t decided what to do with that yet. For now, you can try it at Noscroll.com by clicking “Text your agent.”

Is it perfect? No. The $10/month price tag feels a bit steep for what’s essentially a glorified RSS reader with an AI wrapper. And I’m curious how well the curation actually works long-term — AI models still have a tendency to surface garbage if you’re not careful with your prompts. But the concept is solid, and the execution is clean enough that I’m genuinely considering handing over my credit card.

Anything that lets me stay informed without doomscrolling is worth a try.
