After 50 million stories swiped on Volv and numerous requests from legacy media & newsletters, we're launching Creators on Volv with AI tools to help writers go intelligently viral + unlock new readership. Writers, you finally have a platform to get discovered
We launched Volv a few years ago, and we’re so thrilled by the response we have gotten till date - 50 MILLION stories swiped, we got backed by Snapchat, and we're back with more!
Quick refresher on why we built Volv - It's extremely overwhelming to stay updated with newsletters, podcasts, social media debates, news, trending topics on 15 different platforms. We reimagined the future of media by adapting to how our generation wants to consume content - a social news app that gives you the most interesting, viral, and breaking content in 1 place in 9 second stories.
Users call us "Tiktok for smart people".
Biggest revelation - our users use Volv instead of social media to discover new content and newsletters that they would’ve never read otherwise.
Now we’re launching a whole new Volv for writers.
Over the past few months, we have been inundated with inbound requests from large media houses and hundreds of newsletters to publish on Volv to capture new audiences. Onboarding publications has always been part of the vision. But after this influx of demand, we have been speeding up development to capture this massive opportunity to launch Creator channels on Volv. And to support that we’ve created Volv Enterprise, a suite of AI tools to help writers go ‘intelligently viral.’
- AI summarization to convert your content into a 9-sec read
- AI Recommendation tool to push your content to readers interested in your niche
As a writer, you really don't have to do much work. Writers, you finally have a platform to go intelligently viral and unlock new readership.
Writers, your future readers are waiting. Sign up here: volvmedia.com/open-waitlist

Congrats on your launch 🚀 just dowloaded the app and currently giving a try!
Some notes though:
1- I'd much rather seeing a date on the piece/news that I'm reading, as in when it is published.. without that, I cannot be sure how old is the piece..
2- I believe pricing should be dependent to where you're based. It would be much accessible globally. I'm a user from Turkey, and it is hard to imagine any widespread usage from the non-western world. Widespread usage of the platform would be great!
3- I know it is a new launch, however I couldn't find any content relating to my field/interest: arts and culture.
Still, hope to see its growth! 🌸
Hi there. Want to know what happens after the premium (free) month. I mean what limitations has the app on (free) mode, and which is the pricing (not in te page). Regards and congrats!! (Android here)
Best of luck as you roll it out! I love seeing new tools that help writers grow their audience and improve their content.
Congratulations on launching something that could be a good way for many writers! I’ve been waiting for a tool that combines AI with writing to make content creation more effective.
I love the concept of a social news app that adapts to how our generation wants to consume content. It’s very forward-thinking
I love how this platform caters to high-achievers with concise news. Best of luck with your growth!
I love the concept behind this. Providing concise and relevant news updates is a great way to keep users informed without overwhelming them. Great job, team!
Does Volv offer personalized news recommendations based on user preferences? It would be great to have a tailored news feed.
Congratulations on the launch! This tool seems very useful for anyone looking to stay informed efficiently. Can't wait to give it a try!
Couple of feedback -
1. When I tapped the login button, it automatically popped a contacts permission prompt!
a. "Login" flow should not be asking contacts permission.
b. You might have a reasoning saying "easily share with your friends", but that's a very weak reasoning to justify data hoarding. Yes, I can deny that permission and still use the app. But knowing that the app has such tendencies makes me not trust the app.
2. Phone number as the only option for account creation -> that's a no go for me. Coupled with the point #1, it's not looking good.
I think the AI tools for writers are a brilliant addition. The AI summarization and recommendation features are very impressive
I love the idea of a social news app that curates the most interesting and viral content in one place. It’s perfect for high-performing individuals
Impressive Tool! I’m excited about the concept of 9-second stories for staying updated. It’s a fantastic way to consume content quickly and efficiently
