Airchat: Naval Ravikant’s Audio-First Social App Takes Off, Prioritizing Voice Over Text

395

Naval Ravikant and Brian Norgard’s Airchat redefines social media with a focus on audio interactions. The app, now available on iOS and Android, prioritises voice communication over text-based interactions.

Airchat’s invite-only status has quickly propelled it to the #27 spot in social networking on the App Store. Users can follow others, scroll through audio posts, and engage by replying, liking, and sharing. The app’s asynchronous threaded posts remove the pressure of live interactions, appealing to introverted users.

However, challenges like audio playback speed and content moderation persist. Despite these hurdles, Ravikant emphasises user experience over monetization, committing to running the company on a shoestring budget.

Airchat aims to foster authentic connections through voice communication, catering to users seeking a more natural form of social interaction.
