What they are

Podcastle

Podcastle, recently rebranded as Async, is a browser-based audio and video production platform aimed at podcasters and solo creators. It handles remote recording, AI-powered noise removal, transcription-based editing, and voice cloning in one workspace. The free tier covers basic recording but caps exports and AI features. Paid plans start around $11.99 per month, making it competitive with dedicated tools like Descript for audio-first workflows.

tl;dv

tl;dv auto-joins Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls as a bot, then records, transcribes in 30-plus languages, and generates AI summaries and action items. Sales, customer success, and product teams use it to capture decisions and sync outcomes directly to CRMs like HubSpot and Salesforce. Its multi-meeting intelligence sets it apart from single-call recorders: you can query patterns across hundreds of past calls at once. The free plan has real caps on AI notes and integration credits that are easy to hit fast.
