What is Castmagic?
Castmagic is an AI content tool that takes long audio or video recordings and produces the written and visual material that usually follows them. A recording is imported by link, file upload or feed, then transcribed with speaker labels and timestamps in more than 60 languages. From the transcript Castmagic drafts show notes, summaries, blog articles, newsletters, LinkedIn posts, quotes and meeting recaps, and its Studio cuts captioned vertical clips, audiograms and image carousels. Teams can train a brand voice, save prompt templates, search the library by meaning, and ask questions across many recordings through Magic Chat. Further pieces include an audience chatbot that answers site visitors from your episodes, link-based async interviews, a REST API and an MCP connector for Claude. Plans are named Hobby, Starter and Team, with Business and Scale tiers above them.
