Nextdoor, a neighborhood-focused social app, is being redesigned to reconnect neighbors through A.I., news, and community.
After years of decline, returning CEO Nirav Tolia aims to revamp the platform with a new focus on hyperlocal news and A.I.
The heyday of Nextdoor saw the app thrive as a hub for connections, local recommendations, and coordinated responses to the Covid-19 pandemic.
However, the platform faced slowing growth and accusations of toxic content, prompting the need for a new approach.
CEO Nirav Tolia's mission is to reboot Nextdoor, not by restoring it to its former state, but by pursuing a new path.
