PRESS RELEASE PANODYSSEY, Paris - December 2023

Panodyssey launches a multi-format mobile application: a reinvented reading experience with a personalized quality news feed.

The French social network dedicated to quality texts is revolutionizing the reading experience with its new multi-format application and its ad-free news feed. The News Feed is personalized and promotes a variety of informative and entertaining written and visual content. The new News Feed content format is short and to the point. It helps to increase the visibility of authors.

Panodyssey is the French social network dedicated to quality texts, created especially for self-published authors, professional creators and passionate readers. This revolutionary network offers an unprecedented reading and writing experience, with an emphasis on authenticity, quality and the absence of intrusive advertising.

For several years, Panodyssey has been developing a popular tool for content creators to publish, archive and protect fiction and non-fiction texts in customisable creative spaces: Creative Rooms. Creators can use these modular spaces in the form of galleries to display their visuals.

Literature is a big hit on social networks. More and more readers share their impressions and opinions by chatting directly with authors and creators who use the networks to promote their works.

The Panodyssey social network is launching a new publication format dedicated to short pieces to support this trend and accelerate the development of communities of authors and readers. Specifically, authors will be able to publish short posts in their News Feed with just one click, to easily communicate and share information and impressions in the form of text or images.

Unlike the news feed on Facebook, Instagram or X, all the content shared in the Panodyssey news feed comes from certified accounts: the fight against misinformation is crucial for a quality news feed. Panodyssey encourages positive, constructive and respectful interaction between users. The feed is free and without advertising. Readers can choose between two ways of displaying content in their news feed, encouraging discovery and curiosity: 

➜ Personalized News Feed: only shows news published by the creators I follow 

➜ General News Feed: shows all news published by all creators.

Community members can use the news feed to communicate and interact effectively, and consult the news feeds of other members of the network. Authors can publish a long format in their Creative Rooms and share it instantly in their News Feed by automatically creating a post. Panodyssey is betting on the complementary nature of its formats to serve both creators and readers and increase their engagement. 

“Panodyssey is reinventing multi-format publishing. Panodyssey innovates by offering complementary reading experiences: short form content is published and archived in the News Feed and long form content is published and archived in the Creative Rooms of our vast library. All content is certified: no fake profiles, no fake content, no fake readers.” - Alexandre Leforestier, CEO of Panodyssey.

Panodyssey is a trusted digital space where quality comes first, offering a unique, authentic and ad-free experience for lovers of literature and creativity.

The Spanish news agency Agencia EFE, partner of the European consortia CREA and CREA Trust AI, organized an event in Madrid on 14 November 2023. During the event, which was broadcast live on YouTube, Panodyssey's innovations were presented by the French start-up's Ukrainian teams as part of a Europe-Ukraine technological cooperation project. European Commissioner Iliana Ivanova, guest of honor, encouraged Panodyssey to continue its work in the service of cultural and creative talent and to turn AI into a competitive advantage by managing risks.

CREA and CREA Trust AI are supported by the European Commission's Europe Creative Innovation Lab programme. These initiatives are central to the implementation of Europe's digital strategy for the media and culture sector. The Europe Creative Innovation Lab is an innovation programme that encourages stakeholders from different cultural and creative sectors, including the audiovisual sector, to design and test innovative solutions to major challenges with a potential long-term positive impact on different cultural and creative sectors.
