What do you think about getting your daily news as a 2-minute WhatsApp audio?
by•
Hey everyone 👋
We’re building Snipn, an AI-powered WhatsApp experience that sends you a short 2-minute audio news update every morning. It’s simple, human-sounding, and available in 100+ languages across 50+ countries.
The idea came from how cluttered and noisy news apps have become. We wanted something calm, fast, and truly useful — the kind of update you can actually finish before your coffee.
You can listen to a sample on our website before subscribing, and we’d love to hear your thoughts.

Really like the simplicity here. For busy mornings or people who avoid news apps, this is a smart alternative. Curious to see how we get personalization for news, not everything might be useful for me and its hard to jam things under 2 mins.
@sanskarix Appreciate that, Sanskar! 😊 We keep each update crisp and relevant by picking only the most important global and local stories so even within 2 minutes, you get real value without filler. Personalized topics are also coming soon through our app for an even sharper feed.
@sanskarix Also, our existing users are loving the simplicity. It feels like we’re curating everything that’s happening, and they’re staying fully updated in just 2 minutes. You should give it a try and let us know your thoughts on the daily curated news.

Sure thing, its on my list!
I don't know much about the monetizable market for this but gut tells me that people that pay for news would rather have the detail than the brevity. If I were you I would find out what people are currently paying for and why. Unfortunately not all good ideas make good companies :)
@aliderregia Fair point, detailed coverage definitely has its own value. We actually spoke to two groups: people who read the news regularly but still end up missing a lot because of time, and those who don’t follow news at all. For both, getting short, clear summaries directly on WhatsApp felt like a real value add. That said, this is just our starting point and we definitely plan to go deeper through the app in the future.
@snipnai Interesting, I do thing it is a cool space with plenty of problems to solve. Happy to give it a go!
@aliderregia Appreciate that! Totally agree, it’s a fascinating space with plenty to solve. Would love your feedback once you give Snipn a spin. :)
@aliderregia We are at snipn.ai
It is a good idea! Actually, it also hard to meet different user's needs, and focusing on few specific themes maybe more attractive for your target audience. Best wishes!
@jerryxu0815 Thanks, Xu! Totally agree, tailoring for different audiences can get tricky. We’re starting with a few key themes users care about most and then expanding gradually. Appreciate the thoughtful feedback!
