What they are
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.
Simplecast
Simplecast is a podcast hosting platform that handles distribution, analytics, and embeddable players for independent podcasters and media teams. It targets creators who want reliable RSS management and clear listener data without a cluttered interface. The analytics dashboard is genuinely useful for understanding audience retention, though the lack of a free tier means you pay from day one even when your show is just starting out.
