Today, we have Cassidy Williams, CTO of Contenda. Contenda unbelievably started as a sticker distribution platform that pivoted into a product that converts podcasts and videos into various other forms of written content via AI. But in our conversation with Cassidy today, we talk about their latest pivot to a product called Brainstory, which is an AI based brainstorming application.
We talked through some of their product choices around focusing on speech as the main input mechanism, some of the technical challenges they've had to overcome, how they're using multiple AI models in the backend to make all this magic happen, and where they're seeing initial product traction. If you're a founder or thinking of starting a company, we think you'll find this conversation super interesting.
