What they are

Castmagic

Castmagic ingests podcast episodes, video recordings, and audio files, then uses AI to produce transcripts, show notes, social posts, newsletters, and more from a single upload. Podcasters, course creators, and video producers use it to repurpose long-form content without manual editing. It covers the full repurposing workflow in one place, though the output still benefits from a human edit before publishing.

Captions

Captions is a mobile-first AI video editor aimed at creators who produce talking-head content for social media. It auto-generates captions, removes filler words, corrects eye contact, and can clone your voice for overdubs. The app targets solo creators who want a post-production shortcut, though its desktop feature set is still catching up to its mobile counterpart.
