Inspiration

Instead of increasing screen time (whether you're on the go, or want to set a better example for kids), we made SocialBrief: call a number to get a digest of what's happened on Twitter, BlueSky, or LinkedIn.

What it does

Provides a spoken summary of your chosen social media feeds and google search/news keywords.

How we built it

See system-design diagram below.

Challenges we ran into

Twitter API is no longer free, and wrangling Mastodon/Bluesky feeds required more effort than expected.

Accomplishments that we're proud of

A good-looking front-end, and a very consumer-friendly (non-techie) UX for the average consumer.

What we learned

Mastery of the data feeds and APIs isn't "bleeding edge," but it's critical to getting to working MVP.

What's next for SocialBrief

Funding, then build out the infrastructure, then GTM! We feel this meets a real market need, and fills a hole.
