AI tools that we're embracing here at Bamby Media
As we transition into a more digitally-driven era, technology continues to evolve rapidly, and businesses must adapt to keep up with the pace of change. One of the most significant advancements in technology in recent years has been the rise of artificial intelligence (AI). AI has revolutionized the way we work, making our jobs more manageable and efficient. Today, we will share some of the most game-changing AI tools that we use at Bamby Media to help our business run more efficiently.
Are robots taking our jobs!?
When AI first emerged, there were concerns that it would take over the world and there would be a Terminator-style apocalypse/riot on our hands imminently. Instead, AI has become a valuable tool to help businesses streamline their operations and be more productive. At Bamby Media, we have integrated several AI tools into our workflow, and they have been a game-changer for us.
Descript has been a significant game-changer for us at Bamby Media. We used to use Pro Tools exclusively for our podcast editing, but we found it time-consuming and inefficient for collaborative purposes. With Descript, we can collaborate with other team members, which has made the editing process much more efficient.
Descript's transcript feature has also been a game-changer for us. We can edit using the transcript, which makes it much easier to see what is coming up in the audio or video so that you can edit content more productively.
Descript's Studio Sound feature which helps you remove background noise with the click of a button, is another significant advantage. It is much better than the beta version of a similar feature in Adobe Podcast that everyone has been raving about recently. I’m not on team Adobe for this one. Descript wins hands down.
Autopod is currently blowing our tiny minds. It takes multicam editing to the next level by automating the process.
Previously where our video editors would sit there and have to change the camera angles themselves manually, Auto Pod can switch it all for you in a matter of minutes.
This is a new one for us, and it is absolutely going to save a tonne of time.
We’ve been experimenting with Deciphr to help create podcast show notes, YouTube descriptions, chapter markers, and article writing.
But there's always a caveat with the copywriting aspects of AI specifically. You can't just give it a quick read and think, “Yep - my work here is done!” You still have to have a human editing what has been provided. It’s important that the tone is correct, the writing style is on point and that it’s not reading like a “copy/paste” bit of text.
It helps you distill the information sure, but you still have to put work into making the content work.
Your business will benefit from AI
The integration of AI tools such as Descript, Autopod, and Deciphr have significant implications for businesses. They have made our workflow more efficient, which has saved us time and money. The ability to collaborate using Descript has also improved communication within our team, which has made us more productive.
In addition, these AI tools have made it easier for businesses to enter the podcasting and video editing space. With Descript, even new podcasters can produce high-quality content without needing extensive editing skills. Autopod has also made video editing less time-consuming which is an absolute WIN for the creatives out there. Deciphr has made it easier for us to produce show notes, chapter markers, and articles, saving us time and making it easier to produce high-quality content for ourselves and our clients.
As AI continues to evolve, we can expect to see more tools like Descript, Autopod, and Deciphr emerge. These tools will make it easier for businesses to streamline their operations and be more productive.
Looking to the future
A lot of the things we use in our business are still not integrated with artificial intelligence. You still need a human to do a lot of what we do which we believe is very important. There are things that still need to be ironed out from a legal perspective too in regards to who owns the copyright, especially regarding creative AI tools.
If you have any AI tools that you use that you think we should know about reach out to us! We love trying out new tech.
