I've been using Descript for several years now, and I love how they keep adding new features to it. The purchase of Squadcast was Chef's Kiss, and now the addition of the new AI features helps me considerably with my podcast editing.

Really, nothing at this point. It's exciting to see the growth of the product. I cannot WAIT to get this Sonix.ai fully integrated within our JAMstack environment.
