Async, formerly known as Podcastle, has unveiled its first major platform upgrade following its recent rebrand, introducing an advanced agentic AI production framework designed to transform audio and video content creation. With this update, creators can now produce ready-to-publish content simply by using natural language prompts. Instead of manually editing timelines, users can chat with the platform to cut footage, refine narratives, add voiceovers and enhance both audio and video quality. As a result, Async dramatically reduces post-production time, turning a process that once took between 20 and 48 hours for a one-hour recording into a task that can be completed in minutes.
This launch comes at a time when generative AI adoption among creators continues to accelerate. According to Adobe, approximately 86% of creators already use generative AI tools. However, despite this widespread adoption, much of the production workflow still relies heavily on manual editing. Reviewing raw footage, identifying key moments and assembling polished content remain time-consuming and resource-intensive tasks. Therefore, Async’s new agentic production workflow addresses this gap by shifting the focus from manual editing to AI-driven execution. By using natural language as the main interface, creators can now focus on directing creative intent while the platform handles the technical work.
“Our mission is to democratize video and audio production. You shouldn’t need a dozen different apps to bring one idea to life. We’re moving past tools and into systems that understand intent,” said Arto Yeritsyan, CEO and Founder of Async. “The manual editing job is disappearing. With this update, we’re making production invisible — connecting creative intent directly to execution. You don’t edit anymore; you direct.”
In addition to enhancing creator workflows, Async is also expanding opportunities for developers. The company has introduced the Async Voice API, which provides direct access to its proprietary voice production engine. This API enables developers to build real-time conversational applications, streaming tools and live audio solutions. Moreover, Async aims to deliver one of the most competitive quality-to-cost ratios in the market, making high-quality voice production accessible for a wide range of applications.
Furthermore, Async is introducing a hybrid pricing model designed to support resource-intensive agentic workflows. While regular subscriptions provide access to the platform’s studio features, AI-powered generative capabilities operate through a flexible credit-based system. This allows users to scale their AI usage based on project needs, either through monthly credit allocations or on-demand top-ups. Similarly, the Async Voice API follows a pay-as-you-go pricing structure, ensuring flexibility for developers and enterprises alike.
Currently, creators can access the new agentic features and Async Voice API through the Async web platform. Audio production capabilities are already available, allowing users to create professional-grade audio content instantly. Meanwhile, video production features are expected to launch soon, further expanding the platform’s capabilities. Additionally, new users can explore the platform through a one-week free trial, giving them the opportunity to experience AI-driven content production firsthand.
Overall, Async’s agentic AI framework represents a major shift in content creation. By replacing manual editing with intelligent automation and natural language control, the platform empowers creators to produce high-quality content faster, more efficiently and with greater creative freedom.
