# JellyJelly

> JellyJelly is authentic social media: an anti-brainrot social video network where every post is
> a "jelly", a POV or vlog recorded live with both phone cameras at once by a real person. There
> are no filters, no editing, and no AI videos, deepfakes, or slop, so people are comfortable
> being their true selves. JellyJelly does use AI, but only to caption, title, and summarize
> human videos, never to create feed content. The feed is built for real life: POVs, vlogs, and
> behind-the-scenes moments, not doomscrolling. Creators are tipped directly by the community
> using the Solana-based JELLY token.

(https://apps.apple.com/us/app/jellyjelly-post-povs-earn/id6505022038). Android is in waitlist.

## Key facts

- Every video is recorded in the app, live, by a human. There are no uploads of pre-edited or AI-generated footage, and no deepfakes.
- A jelly shows both camera views at once: the world and the person reacting to it.
- No filters and no editing tools exist, by design. What you see is what was recorded.
- AI is used in service of human content (auto-captions, titles, summaries), never to generate videos.
- JellyJelly is free to use and designed against addiction: no engagement-bait algorithm pushing brainrot.
- Viewers tip creators directly; there is no advertiser or platform middleman setting payouts.
