Audiogest

What Audiogest does

Audiogest is a Netherlands-based, bootstrapped SaaS company founded in 2023 by Thomas Mol, operating as Thomas Mol Software Development from Utrecht. Its core product is a web application that converts uploaded audio and video files into transcripts and AI-generated deliverables such as summaries, action items, briefs, and reports. The platform supports 99+ languages, speaker diarization with inferred name/role labels, custom dictionaries for specialized terminology, and multi-format export (Docx, Markdown, SRT). The company serves professionals and teams who need to turn meetings, interviews, and calls into shareable, structured artifacts.

The technology stack is assembled rather than proprietary: speech-to-text and speaker diarization run through Modal.com, while summary generation runs on OpenAI's GPT-4o and GPT-5 models. All customer data is processed in EU-based infrastructure (Amsterdam on Railway.com, Frankfurt on AWS) and explicitly excluded from AI model training. Distribution is entirely self-serve via audiogest.app with no sales channel, supported by content marketing, social media, Product Hunt visibility, and an Audiogest GPT assistant in ChatGPT.

The business model combines three monetization streams: pay-as-you-go credits at $4 per hour, a Plus subscription at $20/month for 20 hours, and a Team subscription at $30 per user per month for 30 hours with shared credits and collaboration. A 35% student discount applies to academic users. As a single-developer, founder-owned operation with 1–10 employees and no external funding, Audiogest operates with minimal overhead and ships product updates every two to four months, including a 5x transcript speed improvement in March 2025, GPT-5 integration and Teams beta in August 2025, and dictionary features with shared projects in January 2026.

Direct peers

• Fireflies.ai: AI meeting assistant that records, transcribes, and summarizes meetings across Zoom, Meet, and Teams. Directly overlaps Audiogest on transcription plus AI summaries, with a heavier enterprise sales motion.
• Otter.ai: Direct competitor offering AI meeting transcription, summaries, speaker labels, and team collaboration. Closest functional analog to Audiogest, with much larger funding and a native meeting-bot workflow Audiogest lacks.
• Trint: Transcription and editing platform aimed at journalists and content teams, with collaborative editing and multi-format export. Strong overlap with Audiogest's export-to-Docx/Markdown/SRT workflow.
• MeetGeek: AI meeting assistant that auto-records, transcribes, and summarizes virtual meetings, with team collaboration features. Comparable feature set to Audiogest's Team tier and a similar PLG approach.
• Happy Scribe: Transcription and subtitling platform supporting 120+ languages, with editor and export workflows similar to Audiogest. Targets podcasters, researchers, and enterprise customers.
• Tactiq: Chrome-extension meeting transcription tool with AI summaries and integrations with Zoom, Meet, and Teams. Overlaps Audiogest on summarization but focuses on in-meeting capture rather than post-upload.
• Sonix: Automated transcription service with multi-language support, speaker labels, and editable transcripts. Competes head-to-head with Audiogest on pay-as-you-go transcription pricing and accuracy.

Broad incumbents

• Descript: Audio/video editing platform with built-in transcription, AI summaries, and collaboration. Broader scope than Audiogest but directly comparable on transcription-to-deliverable workflows.
• Rev: Larger incumbent offering both AI and human transcription, captions, and a developer API. Broader portfolio than Audiogest, with enterprise reach Audiogest does not yet have.
• Krisp: AI-powered meeting assistant offering noise cancellation, transcription, summaries, and meeting notes. Overlaps Audiogest on the AI-notes and summarization layer with a broader voice-tech product suite.
