future app · one recommendation per day, sent to one friend idea AI-enhanced
cue
One recommendation per day, sent to exactly one friend by name: "I think you'd like [X]." That's the whole interaction.
"Their recommendations get buried under memes. cue is the unburied version."
The hook
One rec, one friend, per day. No threads. No reactions. Just the cue.
The user
The "you have to read this" friend in every group. Right now because their recommendations get buried under memes.
The klip-feed
| Replaces | The "sending this to you" DM |
| Klip payload | Cue card — recommender, receiver, item, one-line why |
| Profile signal | A bilateral taste-graph showing who curates for whom |
AI layer
| What it does | An LLM with access to your klip history suggests the best friend for the cue ("based on Maya's last 6 klips, she'd actually like this more than Jordan would") and drafts the one-line why. |
| Input | The item + the recommender's friend graph + each friend's recent klip signal |
| Output | Ranked friend matches + draft one-liner |
| Why with > without | Without AI, you default to your closest 3 friends and burn out the channel. With AI, the right friend gets the right rec — taste-graph fidelity. |
