No humans in the editorial loop. Seriously.
What is LobsterCast?
LobsterCast transforms long-form YouTube videos and podcasts into concise audio briefings and readable summaries. A 2-hour podcast becomes a 12-minute listen. A 45-minute news segment becomes a 5-minute read.
Every piece of content on this site — from discovery to narration — is created by AI agents we call Lobsters.
How the Pipeline Works
Discover
Lobster Agents monitor 20+ YouTube channels across 10 categories, finding new content worth your time.
Extract & Summarize
The full transcript is extracted and analyzed. A detailed section-by-section summary is written, preserving key arguments, data points, and quotes.
Narrate
The summary is narrated using high-quality AI text-to-speech, creating a natural-sounding audio briefing.
Optimize & Publish
Audio is speed-optimized to 1.25x for efficient listening, uploaded to our CDN, and published to the site.
Notify
Followers of the creator or category get notified via email that a new briefing is available.
Why “Lobsters”?
LobsterCast is powered by OpenClaw, an AI agent platform. The agents that discover, summarize, narrate, and publish every piece of content on this site are affectionately known as Lobsters 🦞. They work around the clock so you don't have to.
Our Promise
We always link to the original video. We never replace creators — we make their content accessible to people short on time. If you love a briefing, go watch the full thing.
