What they are

Claude

Claude is an AI assistant from Anthropic that handles writing, research, analysis, coding, and brainstorming through a chat interface. Creators use it to draft scripts, repurpose content, summarize research, and work through ideas. It stands out for following complex instructions and maintaining context across long documents, though it has no live internet access by default and cannot publish or post content directly.

Transistor

Transistor is a podcast hosting platform that distributes episodes to Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and other directories from a single dashboard. It suits independent creators, agencies, and companies running more than one show, since all plans include unlimited podcasts. The analytics are clean and honest, though they stop short of the granular listener-behavior data that some larger platforms offer.
