Introducing Airchat, the latest sensation in Silicon Valley’s social media scene—an invite-only, audio-based networking app founded by Naval Ravikant and Brian Norgard. Think of it as a blend of Twitter and Clubhouse, where instead of typing out posts, users speak into their smartphones’ microphones. The app then transcribes their voice into text, creating a unique feed that combines written content with the warmth of spoken word.
Airchat has quickly gained traction, prompting comparisons to Clubhouse but with its own distinct features. Users can post by simply tapping the microphone icon and speaking, with the option to either read the transcribed text or listen to the original audio. Similar to Twitter, the feed consists of text posts from followed users, but with the added dimension of being able to hear the voices behind the posts as you scroll.
Replying on Airchat is also done through voice notes, maintaining the app’s audio-centric experience. Currently available on an invite-only basis, interested users can request access by reaching out to existing users or using the app to connect with contacts who are already onboard. As the social media landscape continues to evolve, Airchat presents an intriguing alternative to traditional text and video platforms, leaving many wondering if it will be the next big thing or just another passing trend.
