Buildable with off-the-shelf ASR, clip-scoring LLMs, and RSS/YouTube ingestion — no novel AI required — but requires continuous ingestion across dozens of shows, rights/embedding concerns for late-night clips, and ongoing curation to avoid stale or off-brand picks.Best Podcast Clip Generators in 2026: Honest Comparison ↗
