The backstory
Castmagic ingests a podcast episode and produces show notes, timestamps, social posts, newsletters and quotes. That is a transcription API call followed by one long prompt. With free transcription and large context windows, the entire pipeline is reproducible in an afternoon, which is why this category has a dozen identical competitors and no pricing power.
