Redefining Podcasts as Knowledge Libraries
Podcasts are viewed not just as audio files, but as rich repositories of knowledge that can be actively interacted with. Snipped allows users to 'snip' insights from podcasts, saving important information and providing a convenient way to revisit it later. This functionality addresses common challenges faced by listeners, such as trying to recall valuable advice while on the go. As a result, instead of losing insights, users can tap their headphones to store valuable content directly into a personalized knowledge library.
