MurmurCast

Description

MurmurCast turns the content you follow across YouTube, podcasts, newsletters, Arxiv topics, and SEC filings into a single daily brief delivered to your inbox. Every new episode, article, paper, or filing from your subscribed sources is automatically processed — transcribed or extracted — and summarized by large language models so you can decide what deserves your full attention without watching or listening to everything.

Beyond the automated digest, MurmurCast lets you paste any YouTube URL for an on-demand transcript and summary, and offers full-text search across all your transcripts and summaries so you can find a past insight in seconds. A smart channel-ranking feature analyzes your YouTube subscriptions and scores each channel by transcription value.

The tool is aimed at knowledge workers, researchers, and content professionals who follow many creators and want to stay informed without the time cost of consuming everything directly. A free tier is available, with paid Starter, Pro, and Power plans adding more sources, episodes, longer videos, and podcast support.
