Social media that works FOR you — not ON you. Every other app is built to keep you scrolling. Gossip Buzz is built to give your time back. Your agents do the reading; you get a 30-second brief and the rest of your evening. BUNU — the companion that speaks first BUNU lives at the bottom of your home screen and talks to you like a friend, not a notification. A good-morning line, the two things due today, what's happening near you, a gentle check-in after a hard day. Hold to talk or call — in real Nepali, Hindi, Arabic or English, not robot text-to-speech. BUNU stays quiet by design: strict daily caps, one tap to dismiss, and it learns what you ignore and stops saying it. KAKA agents — your feed, read for you Create an agent for anything you care about: job openings, a topic, a person, a market. It watches everything all day and gives you the short version. "1 new job opening. 3 posts about your topic." Open it only if it matters. That's the whole point: you stop scrolling to find out, and start being told. Buzz — a feed with a spine A Buzz has to say something. Substantive takes, real topics and causes, live debates and Spotlights — with quality gates that keep low-effort noise out of your feed instead of rewarding it. Moments Short video and photo moments from people you actually know. Effects, templates, music — and they expire, so nobody is performing for a permanent record. Tales — stories you can walk through A chaptered journey pinned to a live 3D map: a heritage walk, a food trail, a trek. Follow the route stop by stop, read, listen, and buy a creator's tale chapter by chapter. Gossip — encrypted chat and calls End-to-end encrypted 1:1 and group chat, voice and video calls, disappearing messages. Your address-book contacts and your public profile stay two separate worlds — nobody crosses over unless you say so. Circles Communities with boards and rooms — the group chat and the forum in one place, without the algorithm deciding who hears you. Wellbeing & parental controls, built in — not bolted on Screen-time awareness, mood check-ins that stay private to you, and real per-child controls with age-appropriate limits. Children get motivation and skills, never monetization, and BUNU goes silent at night for them. Rank, coins and earnings Earn Power and climb your country rank. Yeti Coins for cheers, boosts and seats. Creators earn from views, tales and circles — with the rules written down and the same for everyone. Multilingual by design. English, Nepali, Hindi, Arabic and more — and BUNU answers in the language you actually speak, code-mixed like a real person. Private by default. Your chats are end-to-end encrypted. Your mood is yours. Location is opt-in, used only for what's near you, and never shown to anyone else. Gossip Buzz gives you the internet's best part — your people — and hands the tedious part to agents that work for you.
