Our Story
Earwig started as a question: what if the research happened while you were still talking?
The Problem
Every podcast producer knows the drill. A guest makes a claim. You think it sounds wrong but you're not sure. You make a note to check it later. Later never comes, or it comes too late — the episode is already published.
We've been there. As documentary filmmakers, we spent years sitting in edit suites, checking facts after the conversation was over. The research was always retrospective. The verification was always an afterthought.
The best time to check a fact is the moment it's spoken. The second best time is never — because by then, it's already out there.
The Solution
Earwig listens to your podcast in real time. As claims are made, our AI identifies them and verifies them automatically. Your producer sees the results live — confirmed, disputed, or needs context — alongside relevant research articles.
No more post-production panic. No more published corrections. No more hoping your guest got the date right.
Why We Built This
We built StoryCoPilot to help documentary filmmakers capture truth in real time. Earwig extends that mission to podcasting. The tools are different but the principle is the same: give the people behind the microphone the intelligence they need, when they need it.
Truth doesn't wait for post-production. Neither should you.
What We Believe
A fact checked during the conversation is worth ten checked after publication
Earwig works silently in the background. No alerts, no interruptions — just intelligence when you look for it
We use AI to search and summarise. The editorial judgement stays with you
We process audio for transcription and discard it. We never train on your conversations
