Lappaa slides into your DMs

February 9, 2026
What do you do?

What do you do when social media is full of clickbaits, fake engagement, and AI slop?

You turn to DMs. You start to talk directly to people.

If you’re not meeting them face-to-face, you can have group chats, but text doesn’t feel so nice. It’s missing emotion. It’s missing the subtext.

You can send an image. That’s a lot of work. You can smile.

You could make a video, but that’s way more work. There’s an option in between.

And that’s what I was solving the other day when I was supposed to get to the Christmas holidays, but I started to get Christmas greetings and sending a text or image was not cutting it.

What if you could turn your voice into something a little bit more delightful?

You can hear the voice. You can read the text. If you cannot hear the voice, you are in some public place: you can have your own smiley face in the background. Or you can generate one.

And you can just push the button and send it. And it works with all the platforms: Signal, WhatsApp, your stories, reels, your YouTube channel, wherever you can put a video.

It just works. That’s what I built: Lappaa.
