"Bond is a social media platform that launched on Tuesday, with no feed, infinite scroll, or algorithmic timeline. Users post photos, video, and audio as 'memories.'"
"The app's AI processes those memories to recommend real-world activities, such as restaurants or concerts, based on users' shared content."
"The premise is that a social network should function as an idea generator for leaving your phone, not a reason to stay on it."
"Bond's long-term business model involves licensing user data for AI training, which introduces tensions with its anti-exploitation positioning."
Bond is a new social network launched on April 21, designed to promote healthier social media use. It eliminates infinite scroll and algorithmic feeds, instead using AI to recommend real-world activities based on users' shared photos, videos, and audio. Users create 'memories' that the AI processes to suggest relevant activities. Founded by Dino Becirovic and Arthur Brazinskas, Bond aims to generate ideas for offline engagement. However, its business model of licensing user data and lack of end-to-end encryption raises concerns about user exploitation.
