CastBandit turns a podcast’s catalog into an AI chatbot that answers listener questions from actual episodes. It solves the problem of discoverability: once a show has more than ten episodes, valuable content sinks in the feed and remains unheard—meaning lost downloads, ad impressions, and sponsorships. With CastBandit, fans ask natural questions and get directed to relevant episodes and timestamps.
