New York, New York, May 04, 2023 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — New York-based startup Supermix is harnessing artificial intelligence to help podcast creators quickly scale and promote their content and expose them to a wider audience.
Through its AI tools, Supermix can convert a 1-hour audio podcast into 10 bite-sized videos containing the bits of the conversation most likely to be picked up by social media algorithms, which will expand the podcast’s reach and draw more people to be interested in listening to the entire thing.
The startup was founded by two up-and-coming entrepreneurs from New Zealand, Xavier English and Zac. It began when English’s sister met Zac while studying at a top US university. She later introduced the two, and they quickly got along and began sharing business ideas, before they moved to the US to pursue their startup dream.
The company’s AI tools have their roots in the ‘Something Good’ project, a precursor to Supermix that attempted to streamline the search for new movies by scaling movie trailers to a shorter, more browsable form. Whilst that project struggled with aspects of its implementation, the young entrepreneurs were undeterred and pivoted the technology into the podcasting space, leading to the current iteration of Supermix.
“I’ve always marveled at the podcast’s ability to put the listener in the room for conversations with extraordinary people, that they would never normally be party to, but finding your perfect podcast isn’t as easy as it should be. With our tools barriers are removed for podcast creation and visibility, helping to eradicate this problem.” Says cofounder Xavier English.
According to English, while Supermix is focused on using AI to help podcast creators scale their content, it does not “take the person out” of the process, which is an often-repeated point by AI skeptics.
“On one extreme, there’s small podcast agencies that do everything manually, which is inefficient in terms of time, effort, and resources. On the other side, is the pure AI tool, where there are no editors involved. While AI has indeed advanced by leaps and bounds, it is not perfect, and there is still no substitute to human creativity. That’s why we want to position ourselves in the middle of the scale, where we use AI to speed things up but rely on the human brain to do what AI can’t. We believe in integrating the two and staying nimble enough to keep up with technological development,”
English says that “Supermix will help further grow the popularity of podcasting, as it will lower the barrier to entry and encourage more people to give it a try. One of Supermix’s clients started a podcast and, within 10 days, the clips from the podcast had gathered more than 980,000 views on social media, which was then converted into over 20,000 followers.”
“Look at how many radio hosts are still active, as well as the number of radio listeners that have yet to get into podcasts. This proves that podcasting still has room for growth. So many people have awesome things to say and they have amazing conversations with their friends over an extremely diverse range of topics. But they don’t have podcasts, because they’re under the impression that they’re too hard to start. We let people scale their creativity easily by supercharging their content. We tell them that podcasting is all about having interesting conversations, and they shouldn’t be bogged down with the other stuff. All you need to do is record, and we’ll do the rest.”

ITU Standardization Sector (ITU-T) Recommendation X.1281 – APIs for interoperability of identity management systems
BRUSSELS, April 23, 2024 /PRNewswire/ — The Secure Identity Alliance (SIA) announced today that its OSIA specification, is recognized as international standard by the International Telecommunication Union’s Telecommunication Standardization Sector (ITU-T). This milestone establishes OSIA as official ITU standard (ITU-T Recommendation) for the global infrastructure of information and communication technologies (ICT).
The specification that is now an ITU-T Recommendation is: ITU-T X.1281 – APIs for interoperability of identity management systems.
ITU-T is the standardization arm of ITU, the United Nations specialized agency for ICT. The Secure Identity Alliance specifications were approved as official ITU-T Recommendations by ITU members including 193 countries and the world’s front-running ICT companies on 1st March 2024. The new ITU-T Recommendation is under the responsibility of ITU’s standardization expert group for security, ITU-T Study Group 17.
“We are very proud that the OSIA specification is recognized as an international standard by ITU-T. This milestone demonstrates the maturity of OSIA and its potential to foster interoperability and promote fairness in the identity management systems market,” said Debora Comparin, Chair of the OSIA Initiative.
Prof. Heung Youl Youm, Chairman of ITU-T Study Group 17, said, “The recognition of the OSIA specification as an official ITU-T Recommendation underscores its critical contribution to the advancement of global ICT infrastructure. We are thrilled about the ongoing collaboration between ITU-T SG17 and the SIA, aimed at developing standards for secure identity management.”
“As Editor of the OSIA standard in the ITU-T Study Group 17 Q10, I am pleased to have contributed to this successful recommendation by the ITU,” said Abbie Barbir, Rapporteur for ITU-T’s working group on ‘Identity management and telebiometrics architecture and mechanisms’ (Q10/17). “The collaboration with the SIA continues on OSIA and other structuring initiatives and standards development.”

OSIA establishes equal marketplace conditions, fosters collaboration, and ensures product compatibility post-mergers and acquisitions. The OSIA standardized interfaces drive innovation, enabling new local market models and reducing fraud within multiple ID systems. Additionally, OSIA addresses integrator/vendor lock-in, allowing governments to maintain control over their identity systems and pursue national development agendas seamlessly.”
