1 articles · Updated · New York Post · Jul 3

Summary

  • RiseGuide unveiled a self-improvement app built around a scrolling format, aiming to turn time spent on social feeds into short lessons on critical thinking, decision-making, confidence and communication.
  • A new RiseGuide survey underpins the launch, finding Gen Z and millennials scroll from the start to the end of the day, including during meals and bathroom breaks, while stress-inducing news also disrupts sleep.
  • The app packages insights from experts into bite-sized modules, lets users choose personalized learning paths and offers question-based exploration for specific topics.
  • RiseGuide is pitching the product as a way to preserve the familiar swipe habit while rebuilding skills it says heavy social-media use tends to erode.
