Zencastr
Free podcast recording, chat-based editing and hosting in one app
What is Zencastr?
Zencastr is a podcasting tool that records audio and video with remote guests, edits the result and hosts and publishes the show. Each participant is recorded locally on a separate track, and edits are made by chatting with an AI assistant the company calls the Producer. Its pricing page now lists a single free plan, named Vibecastr, alongside a custom-priced Enterprise plan.
