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.

Photopea

Photopea is a free, browser-based image editor that opens and saves PSD, XD, Sketch, PDF, and standard raster formats without any installation. Designers, content creators, and hobbyists use it to retouch photos, build thumbnails, and work with layered files on any device. It mirrors Photoshop's interface closely enough that existing PSD workflows transfer without friction, though ads on the free tier can interrupt focus.
