What is Podcastle?
Podcastle rebranded as Async in January 2026. The current platform combines audio and video production with a chat based editing workflow, letting users describe changes to recordings or generated scenes. Its scope includes cleaning a rough cut, improving audio, adding captions, and preparing short clips. For someone familiar with the Podcastle name, Async is the official continuation, with a broader creative workflow than the original podcast focused identity suggests.
Direct the edit through a conversation
Async describes removing pauses, repeated takes, and filler, adjusting cuts to music, and cleaning background noise with Magic Dust. It can generate supporting visuals, voice, or music inside the workflow and style captions to match an edit. Reusable skills preserve an editing approach. The company also offers a separate Voice API for developers building voice enabled products.
Review the story after automated cleanup
Give the editor a clear target, such as a concise interview excerpt with one complete idea. Check that removed pauses or repeated phrases have not changed the speaker's meaning. Watch captions against the final audio and examine generated inserts for factual relevance. Save a reusable style only after a reviewed example demonstrates the pacing, typography, and tone you actually want.

Who is Podcastle for?
Useful for creators and small teams turning recordings into polished episodes, clips, or branded videos. It is particularly relevant when repetitive editing tasks slow production and a person can still review narrative meaning and final presentation.
Before you get started
Review cuts, captions, voice output, and generated assets before publishing. Confirm current plan and credit allowances, and check permissions for recordings or synthetic voices used in a shared or commercial project.
