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.
The collaborative whiteboard built for product builders
AI Flowcharts, AI Mind Maps and AI Wireframes convert a short text prompt into structured, fully editable diagrams, branched mind maps, or web and mobile wireflows — no manual drawing required.
Boards host diagrams, flowcharts, mind maps, wireframes, embedded media and documents side by side, so a whole product narrative lives in a single shareable file.
Multiple teammates edit the same board simultaneously with live cursors, thread comments attached to specific objects, and mention-based notifications.
Drag-and-drop UI components let teams sketch screens, link them into clickable flows and iterate on product ideas before engineering commits to a build.
