NOSCROLL: AI BOT READS THE INTERNET FOR YOU

Doomscrolling—the compulsive habit of endlessly browsing negative news—affects productivity and mental health. Noscroll addresses this by automating the consumption process. The bot reads content across the internet and generates summaries, eliminating the need for users to scroll through feeds themselves. Instead of spending hours on social media or news sites, users receive curated information without the behavioral trap of endless scrolling. The approach targets a specific problem: the addictive mechanics of platforms that encourage prolonged engagement. By inserting an AI intermediary, Noscroll removes the friction and novelty-seeking that drives compulsive scrolling. Whether the solution proves effective depends on adoption and actual user behavior change. The bot represents a growing category of tools aimed at managing technology consumption rather than eliminating it entirely.
