Turns podcast audio into written content automatically
What they are
Adobe Firefly
Adobe Firefly is a generative AI image and design tool built into Adobe's ecosystem, letting creators produce images, text effects, and generative fills from text prompts. It targets graphic designers, marketers, and content creators already using Creative Cloud apps like Photoshop and Illustrator. Firefly's output is trained on licensed content, which reduces commercial copyright risk compared to some rivals. The standalone web app is functional, but the deepest value shows up inside existing Adobe apps.
Swell AI
Swell AI ingests podcast episodes, YouTube videos, or audio files and generates transcripts, show notes, blog posts, social clips, and newsletters from a single upload. It targets podcasters and video creators who want to repurpose content without hiring a writer. The output quality is solid for first drafts but typically needs editing before publishing. A free tier exists with limited monthly credits.
