New description for app store: Millions of hours of long-form video and audio content is added to the world each week -- and nobody has time to consume even a fraction of it. This means that each week, you’re missing out on hundreds (if not thousands) of hyper-relevant clips that remain buried in long-form content. Overlap is a new AI-powered content app that sifts through every transcript to pull out the best moments, just for you. Turbocharge your listening and learning experiences with Overlap. With Overlap, you can: - Prompt our AI assistant with a topic and get a personalized deep-dive of clips. - Go down a rabbit hole of clips about specific topics. - Share the best moments from long-form content with your friends. Listen to clips, not hours.

Other options are to sign in use Google (recommended, but why?) or Apple. I wish there was a simple way to try out the app without commitment and without connecting to accounts or giving away my phone number. ### 2/5 — Maybe in six months *2024-08-25* Downloaded then deleted within five minutes. Got a sense of distrust. Personally, I prefer to know if the source feeding me info is vetted/legit. The app accessed my podcast library, and only 5 of 32 podcasts pulled into my Overlap Library, and are within their AI. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback! Privacy is extremely important to us. And we definitely look to vetted/legit sources for content. Hopefully if you try us again you'll feel very differently. ### 2/5 — More humanities content please *2024-08-20* This is a clever concept and interesting but the content is not tailored for humanities subjects, and the subjects even remotely related to humanities and liberal arts education is extremely skewed to the far political right (almost conspiracy theories). As an academic humanities scholar, I believe it is extremely important to present the public with content that engages with history, art, archaeology, literature, philosophy, the history of science, and modern languages. Humanities education is the saving grace of this world because it showcases different perspectives and I hope this app can work to develop more humanities content that expresses diverse opinions, cultures, academic discourses, and perspectives. **Developer response:** Thanks so much for the note - our goal is 100% to showcase tons of different perspectives and we're getting better at that each and every day. It's a focus of ours! ### 3/5 — So cool, pretty buggy *2024-08-15* This app is awesome. Cannot think of a better way to browse and listen to podcasts - one may not exist. But the bugs are frustrating. Sometimes clips won’t play, others they’ll play without sounds or the for you will freak out happened when multiple similar queries were done. But this app is genius. ### 5/5 — Finally a guide to Podcasts! *2024-08-11* What took them so long to develop this? Podcast usage will never be the sam…they find the best of the best, curated just for my interests!Bravo!! ### 5/5 — I really love this app - saving time and turbo-charging learning *2024-08-04* This app allows me to find the right video segment in a sea of podcasts on Spotify. I can find the needle in the haystack. Heard about this app from YC newsletters. I absolutely love the app. ### 5/5 — Awesome App *2024-07-28* This app is creative, informative, and a great alternative to traditional podcast listening. ### 5/5 — Fantastic way to hear what you need *2024-07-24* Overlap lets you cut out the unnecessary bits and get straight to the most important parts of big discussions ### 5/5 — FANTASTIC! *2024-07-24* Even better with update fix!! ### 5/5 — go to podcast app *2024-07-24* it’s actually crazy to me this didn’t exist before - i could NEVER find clips that were interesting or tailored to me, but now i can. i looooove the design and the way the app seems to know exactly what i want to listen to **Developer response:** Thanks so much! ## Frequently asked questions about Overlap ### What does Overlap do?
