Los Angeles, CA – April 25th, 2025 – DeepCast, the innovative podcast technology company, today announced the launch of DeepChat in Beta, an AI-powered conversation feature that allows podcast listeners to interact directly with podcast content through a chat interface similar to ChatGPT or Claude. Available exclusively for DeepCast Creator paid subscribers to share with their audience, DeepChat transforms static podcast websites into interactive knowledge hubs where audiences can explore content through conversational discovery.
"DeepChat represents a fundamental shift in how listeners can engage with podcast content," said Lucas Dickey, Founder and CEO of DeepCast. "Rather than passively consuming episodes or manually searching for specific information, listeners can now have dynamic conversations with a podcast's body of work—including specific guests or hosts, uncovering insights and connections across episodes that might otherwise remain hidden."
Key Features of DeepChat (Beta):
DeepChat integrates seamlessly with DeepCast's Podsite feature, which provides podcasters with automatically generated, customizable websites. Podcasters can activate DeepChat through a simple toggle in their DeepCast Creator dashboard, instantly transforming their Podsites into interactive experiences for their audience.
"This technology provides a double benefit," Dickey added. "Listeners get a more engaging, personalized way to interact with content, while podcasters receive invaluable intelligence about their audience's interests and questions – information that can directly inform content planning, sponsorship opportunities, and growth strategies."
Early beta testers report clearly identifying cross-cutting question themes, and also indicated they appreciated the linked citations, both for usability reasons but also to manage against AI-driven “hallucinations”.
DeepChat (Beta) is available now for all DeepCast Creator Standard subscribers. The company plans to expand the feature's capabilities based on user feedback, with enhancements to conversation length, analytical tools, and additional monetization options on the roadmap.
