I’ve been trying to cut down my Instagram usage, but I always end up opening the app just to check updates from a few accounts I care about.

The problem? Every time I do, I get trapped in endless scrolling.

At first, I built a tool that sent me an email every time one of those accounts posted something new. But I quickly realized I was still getting too many emails, and they weren’t filtered in any meaningful way. That’s when I decided to use my experience with AI to make the tool smarter-summarizing updates instead of just forwarding notifications.

Now, instead of constantly checking Instagram, I’ll get a summary email at my chosen time with all the updates that matter to me. The tool will gather new posts from the profiles I don’t want to miss and use AI to create a brief, personalized summary based on my preferences. This way, I can quickly catch up without feeling the urge to scroll.

Would something like this be useful to you? How do you manage Instagram FOMO without spending too much time on the app? I’d love to hear any feedback or ideas on what would make this tool better!
