>We look at podcasts as one of the largest knowledge-bases in the world, and are hence focused on the knowledge-seeker community, While our competitors treat podcasts as music which you listen to from start to finish, we look at them as a series of knowledge-rich moments.
I find this view of the podcast ecosystem very interesting. I believe this understanding is allowing Snipd to provide a new way of consuming podcasts,

Fantastic idea that solves one of my pains. I usually take notes and write timestamps myself, but Snipd solves that. Smart!
The "highlights reel" mentioned in the article is an interesting way to consume podcast content as many podcast are super long. Could see it as a way quickly go through the most important parts when there isn't much time or on the go.
Super cool!!
This is quite a thorough article by TechCrunch about the podcast app Snipd, and how they use AI to try to recommend you the best highlights in podcasts and let you save interesting moments with transcript.
Really cool tool - one of the many use cases of AI I have never thought of which makes my life much easier!
Great to see innovation in the podcast space! The highlights and automatic chapters features sound super valuable.
Agree!
Interesting way to get to the good parts of a podcast episode with the AI-generated highlights. Hopefully, these highlights will help me get through the very, very, way too many podcasts I'm subscribed to.
Snipd is doing an amazing job with snips and automatic chapters!
Can't wait to see more from the team!
- It's cumbersome to take notes because I mainly don't have my hands free when listening or I don't want to type on my phone
- It's difficult to keep track of what I've listened to and revisit good episodes
Snipd solves both of those issues for me:
- The audio snippets are great for automatically creating custom transcripts of the podcast highlights
- The History and Favorite lists and the weekly email digest prevent me from just forgetting about an episode after listening to it
