How The Drop works — and why it's protected

The Innovation

The Zovi invented a new way for groups of three or more people to share content without sharing anything.

Every like, save, view, and interaction you make privately feeds into a personal taste profile. Every night, Zovi's algorithm combines your crew's taste profiles and engagement signals into one ranked shared feed. Every morning at 7AM — it reveals to everyone simultaneously.

No manual sharing. No performance pressure. Just your crew's authentic taste, automatically compiled and revealed together.

What's Protected

The following technology is protected under US Patent Application #64/139,191, filed August 23, 2026:

  • Automated group feed generation for three or more users from individual private engagement signals
  • Algorithmic scoring combining engagement velocity, taste profiles, recency, convergence bonuses, and diversity balancing
  • Scheduled simultaneous revelation to all group members at a predetermined time
  • Anonymous contribution with timed identity revelation (Ghost Mode)
  • Pre-viral content early discovery recognition (Trendsetter Badge)
  • Simultaneous coordinated group media capture (Zovi Moment)
  • Group chemistry scoring from independent engagement convergence

Why It Matters

Instagram Blend works between two people using algorithmic prediction. TikTok's group features require manual sharing.

The Zovi is different. We use both authentic engagement signals AND sophisticated algorithms — for groups of any size — with a daily reveal ritual that no other platform has.

This combination is novel, non-obvious, and now protected under US patent law.
