Swell AI

What it does

Swell AI turns audio or video into written and social content. Users import media from sources such as YouTube URLs, podcast RSS feeds, Zoom cloud recordings, or cloud drives, and the service produces transcripts, clips, show notes, articles, summaries, titles, newsletters, and social posts. A transcript editor lets users highlight sections, clip them, and share transcripts by link, with speaker labels added automatically.

Teams use it to repurpose podcast or video episodes into publishable material, with a brand voice setting and reusable content templates. Several shows can be managed from one dashboard, and every uploaded episode gets a chatbot that audiences can ask questions about it. Writing runs on OpenAI GPT-3.5 and GPT-4 models, with GPT-4 usage billed through a token-tier system.

The browser-based web app suits podcasters, content marketers, and small media teams, and an enterprise REST API supports larger production workflows. The free Hobby plan includes one upload per month and no customer support, while GPT-4 output is billed by token.
