Studio-quality podcast and video recording, editing, and publishing in your browser
Every participant records locally on their own device, capturing up to 4K video and 48kHz uncompressed audio in separate tracks that stay sharp regardless of connection quality.
Edit video by editing the transcript — search, cut, copy, and paste words and the footage updates. AI then removes filler words and silences or fixes eye contact in one click.
Turn a finished session into promotional assets: short clips optimized for each platform, thumbnails, headlines, show notes, transcripts, and translations or dubs in over 30 languages.
Broadcast in full HD 1080p to unlimited destinations simultaneously, or host webinars with registration, branded emails, Q&A, live call-ins, polls, and HubSpot lead capture.

Pre-built AI API endpoints that return clean JSON
More than 30 endpoints span resume parsing, job matching, invoice extraction, translation, SEO tags, content summarization, sentiment and product description generation.
Test real endpoints in the browser on bundled sample documents and text, and see the same JSON your application would receive.
Turn any AI prompt into your own production REST API endpoint when the standard catalog does not cover a bespoke need.
Each subscription holds at least one credit that grants a monthly word quota; credits can be added or removed as volume changes.
