Podsift vs Meeting BaaS (formerly Spoke.ai)

Podsift sends free AI-generated summaries of startup podcasts straight to your inbox. You pick from more than 90 shows, verify your email, and get a concise write-up each time a new episode drops. The whole thing is built around a five-minute daily read instead of hours of listening.

Founders Santiago and Jon built Podsift as a side project after hitting the same wall many podcast fans do: too many great shows and not enough time. They filter summaries for real value before anything goes out, and you can browse past summaries or sample previews before signing up.

Account management stays simple. After signup you choose your podcasts, adjust preferences from the manage page, and summaries arrive automatically when new episodes release.

Meeting BaaS sends bots into Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams calls to record, transcribe, and summarize meetings through a developer API. You POST a meeting URL, the bot joins automatically, and your backend receives recordings, transcripts, speaker diarization, and metadata via webhooks.

Recall.ai and similar meeting-bot APIs charge enterprise rates with opaque pricing. Meeting BaaS starts free with 8 hours of recording and scales at $0.35 per hour on pay-as-you-go, with a Speaking Bots API that streams audio to your LLM in real time so the bot can respond during the call rather than only after it ends.

SaaS teams, sales intelligence platforms, and internal tooling groups use Meeting BaaS to build AI meeting assistants, automate post-call summaries, and analyze customer conversations at scale. The TypeScript SDK, MCP tools, and self-hosting option let you embed meeting capture without building bot infrastructure from scratch.
