Castmagic is an AI-powered content repurposing platform that ingests long-form audio and video (podcasts, interviews, streams, etc.), transcribes them, and generates a variety of written and media assets (show notes, summaries, blog drafts, social posts, newsletters, timestamps, highlight clips and audiograms). It is designed for creators, content teams, agencies and studios to scale content output from long-form media.

What I like most about Castmagic is the versatility of the product. I can use it for course content, sales material, podcast production, marketing, to store voice memos and channel my ideas. And then I can ask their Magic Chat feature to create more content that I specifically like. It will write video scripts, sales scripts, podcast intros, podcast outros, product descriptions, image prompts all with the help of their AI. Plus you can add context to your content by blending other pieces of content together. You can import via Zapier as part of a wider automation sequence or with your RSS feed. You can observe competitors and ask Castmagic to outline their strategy. You can literally do anything you want with Castmagic. It's affordable, easy to use, easy to promote, not buggy. The team are supportive, agile and personable. If you want to promote Castmagic, they'll attend your events, feature on your podcast. They truly want to help. As a content creator, podcast producer and avid learner of marketing, I'm learning from the best, using the best software that exists and saving money and time at the same time. I couldn't ask for more.
I guess the only thing I dislike is the ability to export to other places other that CSV, txt. I'd love to see the ability to export to PDF or back to Zapier and other automation softwares and social media platforms.
Castmagic is solving a couple of problems: Podcast burnout, Content Creation burnout, Writers block and Translation issues. Burnout is often the case for most because content creation, writing and marketing in general requires a level of skill that takes years of experience or education. Castmagic helps you learn about marketing and content marketing fast as well as helps you save time writing the content yourself. Castmagic is the foundation which I can add my flavor too. Finding a software that takes your transcription and translates it to multiple languages is genius. I can use the translation to create faceless videos, I can use translation to cater to clients who native language is not english.
Time. Time is the one finite resource in every human's arsenal and it souldn't be wasted. The time you mess with prompts to get what you want The time to get the right insights from the content you just produced The time you wait on support to get back to you... All that is saved with CastMagic - you get exactly what you need, in your own voice, with Slack support that is immediate and helpful. I've integrated it in my business and I'm sending people their way because the best gift I can give anyone I care about is simply - more time.
The few features I'm missing (like nested prompts) they're in the process of developing. So I really feel like I'm getting the entire enchillada.
It allows me to streamline my content creation without having to rely on anyone to figure out what's good content and isn't. It also saves me SO much time!
I use Castmagic in the following ways: 1. Upload raw audio 2. Have it identify top moments (I use these to create clips in Descript for social sharing) 3. Write I blog post I share via Substack 4. Write an episode description for posting along with the episode when I publish
I wish it had more of a guided approach. I still have to figure out the best way to use all the features. For example, make me a checklist chart of all the post-production tasks and then I can be confident I'm optimizing the value I'm getting from each episode.
The post production work of a podcast is very time consuming. Castmagic makes it shorter with their AI approach to all the other stuff (blog posts, social posts, introductions, etc) that need to happen between recording a podcast and posting/promoting it.
Its elegant use of the power of AI-enabled content generation. Smart. Instant. Automatic.
I had a bit of confusion understanding how pricing worked. Now I see how incredibly affordable it actually is.
Creating promotional copy and content for shows is laborious and expensive. Not any more.
Developing content can be a real grind. It used to take me ages to slice and dice an episode of our podcast into different content types and pieces. Castmagic changes all of that. It is very much like having your own personal assistant to do the heavy lifting. Great transcriptions, titles, keywords, speaker bio's, time stamps, show notes...the list goes on. I'm so glad I started using it, and new features are getting added all the time which is even better.
I honestly can't say that I dislike anything. Possibly, in the future it would be great to have the ability to edit video clips directly in Castmagic, but I love the quality of written content it produces.
Castmagic saves me loads of time, does a lot of the creative thinking around content and provides so many different formats that I can use Twitter Feeds, LinkedIN Posts, reel scripts, time stamps that can be used for shownotes, Q&A's. I initially only used it for podcasts but now starting to extend it for meetings and other content.
Super easy to get started!!! I can get awesomely FAST transcriptions of ALL my videos. Castmagic allows me to get excellent transcriptions plus suggestions for all the things I'm not great at: * titles * keywords * post topics * instagram and twitter posts * a list of topics which I can use for future videos or mini courses
So far, I haven't found anything that I don't like about Castmagic.
Most of my marketing and teaching for Body-Brain Balance is done on video, along with The Healing Path Conversations video-podcast. I can get transcripts for all of these! All the marketingin services that Castmagic provides allows me to easily promote The Healing Path on several different social sites. I'm able to modify the newsletter draft and also create additional blog posts using the topics Castmagic excerpts from the conversations.
It produces content for every medium, it's so flexible, and unlike other AI content tools, the copy is SPOT ON. I consult for many businesses and have used all of the top 10 content tools, from Jasper to Writecream, Writesonic to POE. The combination of clarity and value of content produced by Content at scale based on even a concise audio clip - it's accurate. It's not robotic, and it's all organized so nicely to copy and paste it where I need it. Image support - get it from mid-journey. This is genuinely the be-all-to-end-all content solution and I'm so pleased I got on board early. The owner is accommodating, and the team is very intelligent and listens but also has amazing foresight in the direction they're building the product. With team access available now, my entire content strategy is AI-enabled and has gone from an insurmountable amount of work (to have an impact) to a couple of hours a week to have a considerable impact. My socials are growing, I've created a dozen podcasts that are yet to be released, I've used the platform for every type of medium and seen great responses from my audience in terms of likes and shares organically. On the ads front, Castmagic isn't meant for that, it's meant specifically to help you grow your organic presence and provide a focused and innovative level of content production that I've yet to see from many other AI platforms (other than ChatGPT and I believe Cast Magic is currently using GPT-4 for content).
It was missing team support, but as of this writing, that's available. Other than that, nothing is missing from the platform and it's really easy to use.
Content production based on my short video clips for specific purposes - multiple channels and AI content are produced automatically as soon as the audio is injected. It really is magic.
I love that I can create custom prompts to extract any type of content that I need from our long-form podcasts and youtube videos. It allows me and my entire team to level up our speed, productivity, and content production to another level. Something really cool that I've noticed is that their AI language model is actually good, unlike most of the other AI tools out there. I can chat with my podcast and extract meaningful moments and clips for other social media accounts. 10/10 experience, UI, and service. Thank you for creating this tool and I'm excited to continue to see it grow and evolve.
I honestly haven't found anything I dislike about Castmagic. I think the addition of custom prompts really lets you take control of most of the content you want to repurpose from your podcasts.
Saving time resources and energy trying to do all of the manual labor of podcast post-production! Way more productive.
Rare to find an AI application that delivers on what it promises. Cast magic is very unique in that it is easy to use, and it makes outstanding derivative works from your pre-existing podcasts or audio content. The AI and ChatGPT field is full of competitors. Most of them tend to be focused on generating volumes of output. But those volumes are of limited utility. Definitely quantity over quality. Cast magic is different in that it works faster and dare I say more effectively than a human. We recently recorded a 13-day Zoom workshop attendees met for between one and two hours each day as we went through the materials. By that evening we had delivered the students a complete guide for that day's session completely compiled by cast magic. Cast magic was able to pick up on jargon and we were able to train it with respect to words that or mispronounced or were jargon in nature. The end result is that if we tried to do this in a traditional manner where the individual session was transcribed and then summarized not only would it not be able to be completed on a daily basis, but it would take hours and hours of a skilled person to summarize that information. The cast magic team seems to be very focused on growth and adding utility to their product. Given the fact that it works well, this is a good direction to see
At this point cast magic is fairly new. I have high hopes that they will be able to scale up to meet not only the technical requirements that onboarding a large number of users brings but also the customer support requirements that numerous new users brings to bear.
The main business problems that cast magic solves is enabling us to present our video and audio content in a textual format. We have been very successful with video and audio content. However, there is a percentage of our audience that really likes to see things written down and summarized. They value a guidebook format that accompanies each lesson. CastMagic turns what would normally be a tedious multi-hour job into something that can almost be done in the background. And I would say that it does it as good as or better than our own subject matter experts. The reason I say this is because it does not have a bias whereas our writers do have a bias and I do believe that the Castmagic summaries are therefore more useful.
Hi, my name's Rick, and I'm the host of the popular business building podcast 'The My Future Business Show'. As an interview-based show, we invest a lot of time making sure that guests are happy with their interviews. Production takes a lot of time and focus to make sure you write the right thing and point out relevant information. Thus, I've been on the lookout for a solution that would save me time and was specific to the production needs of podcasters. So, when I found Castmagic, I knew I had to check it out. To say 'I'm glad I did' is an understatement. Since we started using Castmagic our editing and production work has been reduced by between 20-30 minutes each episode. No longer do we need to worry about what we're going to write, finding key timestamps, or having to worry about what to upload to social. So, if you're a busy podcaster, and you want an already proven way to save time and increase the quality of your podcast content, give Castmagic a go! Most importantly, Blaine is quick to respond to any questions we have and goes out of his way to help us get the most out of the Castmagic platform.

Like anything, there's always areas for improvement. I don't have one particular problem with the platform, so it's hard to say what I dislike. At this stage, the product does what it says it will do, and that's why I'm impressed with it.
As a busy podcaster, I'm always looking for ways to save time. I'm always thinking about what I need to write for my guests, and sometimes this was a real struggle. All of these problems are a thing of the past because Castmagic gives me great ideas for what to write. Additionally, Castmagic brings out the best in my guests, which benefits the show. Blaine provides the sort of support I wish every business offered. Responsive, knowledgeable and helpful!
