In one line

Drop videos, links, articles, meeting notes, course materials, or plain drafts into the box. BokeBox will:

1. Understand the content
2. Write a spoken script
3. Speak it in the voice you choose
4. Turn it into a private podcast you can play anytime

Not another single-format “media-to-audio” converter — a multi-source personal AI podcast studio.
