This app is wild. They went from 21M to 500M in ARR in 3 years.
Now they are introducing Sherpa.
It’s trained on 100M+ hours of listening data, including where audiences drop off and spend coins to unlock another episode.
Whats insane is that US listeners are spending +2 hours a day in the app, while spending less than 1h a day on TikTok.
Sherpa is a new hot take on AI assisted writing.
You bring an idea. Sherpa helps develop the characters, map the season, work on dialogue, and figure out where to leave people hanging.
I like the idea of a writer being able to work with that feedback while building their own story.
Still need taste. Still need a reason for anyone to care. And I’d want this to leave room for the weird ideas that don’t look like yesterday’s hits.
Pocket FM is helping more people actually finish the story they’ve had in their head for years is a pretty good use of AI.
Really want to see what people make with this.
