What they are

Restream

Restream sends a single live broadcast simultaneously to more than 30 platforms, including YouTube, Twitch, LinkedIn, and Facebook. Creators, businesses, and educators use it to maximize reach without running separate streams. The built-in chat aggregator pulls audience messages from all platforms into one view. The free tier caps you at two destinations with Restream branding on the stream.

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.
