Editorial interest 78/100 Selection signal · not a rating of the site

A podcast-context extraction product turns back-catalogue audio into sourced, timestamped claims published for AI agents to read.

Landing page captured for the 2026-09-16 issue.

Field notes

The product describes a provenance workflow for podcast archives: claims are tied to transcript wording, episode, timestamp, speaker, and the date at which the claim applied. It says unsupported claims are rejected and uncovered questions are returned as gaps that may guide future recording. The page also exposes an /llms.txt version for machine readers and says Root Bowl is first running the system on its own surface.
