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 Readers, download Volv and use our special PH code to access a free month of Volv Premium. Skip ads and access premium features like text-to-speech, timeline, and more.

I am trying now your app, but let me tell you it resonates a lot of what I would like in an app without all the noice the rest of the platforms have. I can read at my pace, and really put attention to the information. Great idea! Wish you the best! @priyanka_vaz

This is amazing. Although I am quite afraid about AI's accuracy on news content, I think its a great platofrm to replace doom scrolling Tiktok and instagram! Congrats on the launch team!
Priyanka Vazirani
@lakshya_singh the creator content will be coming from established publishers and newsletter writers themselves. We care about quality!
Natasha Patki
I'm so excited to use the creator channel! I've been following Volv for years as an avid reader! But as an aspiring writer, journalist and news geek, I cant believe you've created a platform for US! I'm already on the waitlist, it's going to be so great to see my articles launched on the app. You've created a new platform for us writers, thank you thank you thank you!
Priyanka Vazirani
@natasha_patki So thrilled to hear that! Can't wait for you to start publishing on Volv :)
Shannon Almeida
@natasha_patki thank you so much!!

Congratulations on the launch! What are the options for the audience to give feedback on the content? Are there any likes or comments available? If so, it would be interesting to see if the likes would be simply hidden so people can focus on the content itself but not interactions with it. Thanks!
Priyanka Vazirani
@semanser Yes! We do have likes. Writers will be able to see stats on how many views an article has received on the app along with the likes count. Comments is definitely in the pipeline too!

I’ve been using Volv for a while and I must say that it’s such a timesaver for keeping me updated on all the latest happenings! I'm really curious to know about how writers can benefit from publishing on Volv?
Priyanka Vazirani
@hj_5 Great question! The biggest problem for writers today is discoverability. Getting past friends, family, and immediate connections. That's where we come in - to help with discoverability and help unlock new readers. You simply have to publish on Volv - our AI helps turn your content into a crisp 9 second read and then our recommendation AI will help push your content to those readers who are interested in your topic. Readers can also go to your profile, which links out to your newsletter/profile. Hope this helps!

Hey @priyanka_vaz Volv is a platform for writers, right? It's super popular, with millions of stories shared. Now, they're adding AI tools to help writers get famous. So, the question is: Can Volv really help me become an internet star?
