This is a safe place for all your forgotten saves.

You know that thing you do — saving posts, screenshotting comments, bookmarking something at 11pm because it means something but you're not sure what yet? Sometimes it's for a project. Sometimes it's instinct. But deep down, you know it matters.

The problem is, those saves never go anywhere. They sit buried across tabs, screenshots, and saved folders with no way to connect them.

Digital Culturist turns your saves into your strategic asset. Drop in what you've been collecting, and we'll show you the patterns you've been building all along.
 

Here’s how it works:

Collect and Upload:

Save content wherever you already are — TikTok, Instagram, Substack — with our Chrome extension. One click and it crawls the post, transcribes video, reads captions and comments, and summarizes everything through a strategist’s lens.

Annotate Your Why:

Add quick context — “This is trending,” “Look at these comments,” “Same visual language used in 3 spaces.” Your notes sharpen the signal.

Discover Your Themes:

We surface the patterns across what you’ve been saving — recurring signals, emerging themes, and connections you might not have seen yet. You choose which thread to pull.

Synthesize:

Your Digital Culturist breaks down what you’ve collected through four lenses: Content Analysis, Comment Analysis, Corner of the Internet Analysis, and Culturist POV.



Built by a strategist who’s been in screenshot hell

Hi, I'm Carissa Estreller and I'm self-funding this because I believe deeply in both the product and the people it's built for.

I've spent 16 years in social media and digital strategy — agencies, brand-side, startups — and I've never found a tool that treats what you save as a signal. So I built one.

When you join the beta, you're not just signing up. You're shaping what comes next.

As part of the community, you’ll get:

  • A private Slack space to connect and share inspiration and meet other digital culturists
  • Monthly virtual meetups with product previews + networking
  • Behind-the-scenes access to our product development
  • Feedback sessions that directly shape features
  • You're getting early access, beta is live now.

FAQs (aka: things you might be wondering)

Yes. Beta is free. You’re trading feedback for early access.

You get to shape the product. Beta users have direct input on features, and you’ll be first in line when we open up publicly.

Anything — what’s useful, what’s confusing, what’s missing. We especially want to hear how the analysis lands for you. Does it surface things you wouldn’t have seen on your own?

Use it when you’re already saving content. There’s no minimum. The more you put in, the better your insights get.

You’ll get access to the core flow. Some features are still in development, and we’ll roll those out as they’re ready.

Please do! Especially if they work in strategy, marketing, trends, or insights. The more brains in the room, the better.

That’s fine. Use the tool but please share your thoughts through the Q&A survey we send. No pressure to be in Slack daily.
