Tell your story. Build your community. Own your platform. Start a conversation with a guest, a co-host, or just your thoughts. Subwave turns it into a polished video and a written article, automatically. Your subscribers choose how they want it: watch the video, read the article, or listen to the audio. One conversation, every format, published in minutes. WHY SUBWAVE You already have the ideas. You already have things to say. The hard part was always everything after: editing, formatting, posting to different platforms, writing a newsletter, submitting a podcast feed. Subwave removes all of it. You talk, it publishes. One conversation becomes a video your community can watch, an article they can read, a podcast episode they can subscribe to, and a newsletter that lands in their inbox. Subwave even writes the newsletter and podcast descriptions for you using AI. WHAT YOU GET Create your own channel with a unique handle Record a conversation and publish it as a video, article, and audio, all at once Podcast RSS feed included. List your channel on Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and other directories Built-in newsletter. Subscribers get an email every time you publish AI-generated descriptions for your newsletter and podcast episodes Subscribers choose how to enjoy your content: watch, read, or listen Share clips and get AI-generated caption ideas for social media WHO IT IS FOR Creators who want to publish regularly without spending half their week on production. Experts who would rather share knowledge than learn production software. Interviewers who want both the video and the written recap without doing the work twice. Anyone building a community around ideas worth sharing. HOW IT IS DIFFERENT Other platforms make you pick a lane. You can do newsletters on one, audio on another, video on a third. But then you are managing three tools, three workflows, three audiences. Subwave gives your community everything from one conversation: video, articles, a podcast feed on Apple Podcasts and Spotify, and a newsletter in their inbox. One place to publish. Every format your audience wants. From the team behind Detail, the App Store Award-winning video creator used by thousands worldwide.
