Particle's groundbreaking AI news app automatically pulls podcast snippets, ensuring you catch every vital comment.
Particle’s AI‑powered news app now automatically extracts 30‑second to three‑minute clips from thousands of podcasts and places them alongside related news articles. This solves the problem of crucial commentary being hidden in lengthy audio, letting busy professionals consume expert insight without listening to full episodes. The feature responds to a surge in podcast news consumption, which Pew reports has reached 42 % of Americans. The system transcribes audio with ElevenLabs, then applies proprietary vector‑embedding models to convert both transcripts and articles into a shared semantic space. Close vector proximity signals relevance, enabling the app to surface contextually accurate clips even when terminology differs. Unlike generative AI, this approach prioritizes factual fidelity and computational efficiency, while continuous learning improves accuracy across languages and genres. Particle has attracted a global audience—55 % of weekly users are outside the United States, with strong growth in India, the UK, and Germany. The new Particle+ tier ($2.99 monthly) adds personalized news summaries, multiple TTS voices, unlimited crosswords, and a private AI chat, enhancing the platform’s value proposition. By bridging text news and audio commentary, Particle is reshaping how audiences discover and engage with multimedia news.
