PodSnip AI
An AI tool that automatically extracts 30-second viral hooks from podcast episodes, transcribes them, adds captions, and exports them as 1080x1920 videos for TikTok and Shorts.
The problem
Podcasters need 30 vertical clips per episode for social growth but hiring editors costs $200+ per episode, creating a high barrier to consistent content marketing.
Proposed solution
Upload audio -> AI transcribes -> AI identifies top 30-sec hooks -> Auto-burns captions -> Exports ready-to-post video files.
Target audience
Indie podcasters with 5k-50k monthly downloads
