Thank you Garry! For any other podcasters that want to use it for free, sign up at creator.joinoverlap.com!
I think Overlap’s LLM-based video clip algorithm is one of the most impressive of its kind

@JoinOverlap is now the world’s first (probably?) AI clipping algorithm powered symbiotically by @OpenAI o1 + @AnthropicAI sonnet 🤌🏽 Try it out in the app, it’s mind blowing. In less than 5 minutes it can find you 10+ short clips from a 2 hour long youtube video it’s like if youtube, perplexity, and tiktok had a kid
Overlap is the world's best clipping tool for any video creators. The clips it makes are uncanny — just the coherent 2 minutes that make sense standalone and that truly matter

Best new app I've found all year. @JoinOverlap Handles two problems: 1. Podcast discovery 2. Topic discovery across many podcasts. You type in what you want to learn about, and it finds you the exact clips from many different shows (including @TKPPodcast). Game changer.

Would anyone be interested in early access to a Video Understanding Infra API? We have internal APIs built for: - Semantic Search - Video Clipping (Prompt to clips) - Video reframing (Face detection etc.) Seems obvious to offer these publicly. Cost based on usage. DM me!

Getting back to everybody as quickly as I can! Any and all info you can throw into a DM would be super helpful (including your email). For other founders: happy to connect you with people if you’re also hiring since of course we can’t hire everyone! Will try to make a round up summary of all the candidates and send it out :)

living and working in SF is surreal… hung out with some fellow @ycombinator founders last night and learned more in those conversations than I would have in a month elsewhere + find more clips like this on Overlap: the Perplexity for video
Interesting that the media narrative on San Francisco has shifted From: “people are leaving San Francisco” To: “people are moving to San Francisco”

I’m starting to think the @JoinOverlap offices got bugged by Tobi…
Shower thought idea for AI powered Podcast app with implementation outline: Interest aware AI editor for raw episodes. Here is the ai pipeline to pull it off: - get whisper with diarization and timestamps to pull a transcript - get huge context window like Gemini pro (2m) to separate it into logical QA pairs including their follow up queries, also pull out named entities and topics at this step - take chapters and qa pairs and embed each - have a critique LLM to rate the entire transcript on top 3 most surprising topics - have another LLM pass rate each chapter in relation to this topic Now you got a lot of segment metadata and annotation. Time to put it to use: Have uses of your app determine their interests. Embed those. When playing an episode allow users to start by determining how much time they have, and cut down to just the sections that KNN close to their interests and rate highly to main topics. Give a button to go deeper into a topic if the discussion is interesting. Treat that as signal and move the user embedding slightly more into the direction of that section. I think could be the mvp beginnings of a totally amazing „everyone has their own editor in chief, just publish the raw audio“ trend. (Brought to you by contemplating how the hell to go listen to an 8h Lex podcast 😆) Bonus points: allow this to work across podcasts: I have 40 mins in the gym. Play across all my subscriptions. Make jumps between podcasts use voice model to give broad outline like Spotify DJ. „OK tobi, Elon and team was on Lex and listen to what he said about neuralink progress <clip>“

for an AI company whose thesis is understanding video, is it more important to offer a suite of video analysis APIs or an NLP video editor that is “cursor for Final Cut Pro”?
