Podcastle is an AI-powered platform for recording, editing, and publishing podcasts and videos, now operating its creative suite under the Async brand at async.com.
About
Podcastle is a browser-based creative suite for producing audio and video content, built around AI-assisted recording, editing, and publishing. The company now presents its product under the name Async at async.com, where the original podcastle.ai offering sits within a broader chat-driven editing workflow. The problem it addresses is straightforward: podcasters, video creators, and small teams otherwise juggle separate tools for recording, cleanup, transcription, captions, voiceovers, and hosting.
At its core, the product combines an in-browser recording studio with a chat-based editor. Instead of working through a dense timeline, users describe what they want — remove filler words, cut to the music's beat, add captions, generate B-roll — and the AI applies the edit. The suite also includes remote interview recording for up to 10 participants with local multi-track capture, free podcast hosting with unlimited episodes, a library of more than 1,000 AI voices, voice cloning, dubbing and translation, and an iOS app for recording and voice cloning on the go. A developer-facing Voice API offers low-latency text-to-speech with integrations for Pipecat, n8n, and LiveKit.

Who It's For
Podcastle is aimed at podcasters who want to record, edit, and publish episodes from one place, and at video creators who need to turn long-form footage into polished videos and social clips without learning professional editing software. It also suits content marketers, small businesses producing ads and explainers, and internal communications or learning-and-development teams that need to scale audio and video production. Developers building voice applications can use the separate Voice API.
