CastBandit
CastBandit turns a podcast’s catalog into an AI chatbot that answers listener questions from actual episodes. It solves the problem of discoverability: once a show has more than ten episodes, valuable content sinks in the feed and remains unheard—meaning lost downloads, ad impressions, and sponsorships. With CastBandit, fans ask natural questions and get directed to relevant episodes and timestamps. For example, if a history podcast covers European royal family dynamics as a cause of WWI in episode 36, the chatbot instantly surfaces it. Old episodes stay alive, listeners find more content, and creators gain steady downloads that grow revenue. Podcasters can configure the chatbot to tease answers or give full context with recommendations, so every question becomes a pathway back into the audio.
