Hey folks, I am one of the co-founders of Recast, an AI-powered service that helps you enjoy any text article on the web in an easier, faster way.
In brief, Recast turns any text you care about into a short, news-style explainer podcast using AI. Much more than a summary, our virtual hosts actually have a back-and-forth conversation, which makes all the difference. You can submit your own, or discover what other users have already recast. Recasts are shorter than reading the whole article would be, plus listening is often a much more palatable way of consuming knowledge, as you can listen to a Recast on a walk, on the commute, while doing the dishes, etc.
Here’s a couple of Recasts you can listen to directly:
[NYTimes] In Norway, the Electric Vehicle Future Has Already Arrived
[DataDrivenInvestor] Dear Sam Altman- There was never an era of making models bigger
[MIT Tech Review] China isn’t waiting to set down rules on generative AI
[The Egg And The Rock] In cosmology, all our errors lean the same way. The implications are... interesting
We'd love to get your feedback!
