What they are
Runway
Runway is a browser-based AI video platform used by filmmakers, social media creators, and marketing teams to generate, edit, and transform video with text and image prompts. Its Gen-4 Alpha model produces short video clips from text or images, while traditional editing tools sit alongside AI features in one workspace. Output quality impresses at short durations, but longer or complex scenes still require significant iteration.
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.
