Why we built this.
“47 min into a 3 hour episode, the host says something and your whole body goes yes. This is the one. This changes everything.
2 days later, someone asks about it. ‘There was this incredible part where he said...’ Silence. It's gone. The only thing left is the feeling that you once knew something important.”
AI can do incredible things.
It should help us retain what we listen to.
So we built it ourselves. And made it free. Forever.
Who we are.
