Noscroll is an agent that doomscrolls for you
Noscroll launched this week — a text-message agent that reads X, Reddit, Hacker News, blogs, and other feeds, then texts you curated summaries. $9.99 a month, seven-day free trial. Built by Nadav Hollander (former OpenSea CTO, sold Dharma Labs to them) and an open-source developer known as @z0age.
You start by texting 415-718-4828. The bot authenticates your X account, then asks what topics you want, what to exclude, how often. It learns your preferences over time, ships summaries with links, lets you ask follow-up questions, and pings you on breaking stories. You can add it to group chats on iMessage or Telegram so the summaries land where your friends already talk.
The architecture is classic agent-as-service. Model reads the feeds, applies a preference filter, writes digests, routes to SMS. Nothing technically novel — the pitch is that the agent owns the scroll so you do not have to. Parents, executives, and anyone in recovery from Twitter addiction are the obvious targets. At ten bucks a month the unit economics probably work if retention is decent.
The bigger signal is personal-agent commerce landing at text message. Phone number as the interface is what Monid is doing for wallets and FloMCP is doing for integrations — the primitive is not a web app or a ChatGPT plugin but an SMS endpoint the agent can reach from anywhere. If the phone becomes the universal agent control surface, every existing communication app gets interesting all over again. Noscroll is a small example of that bigger bet.
