Former NotebookLM devs' new app, Huxe, taps audio to help you with news and research | TechCrunch
"Raiza Martin, along with Jason Spielman and Stephen Hughes, left Google in December 2024 to explore their own ideas. They initially launched a chatbot slanted towards more B2B use cases, but decided to focus on the consumer market and built a personal assistant in March 2025 that could generate personalized images, videos, and audio."
"Huxe essentially gives you a daily briefing based on the emails you receive and by connecting to your calendars to understand your schedule. It also lets you explore topics, and like NotebookLM, it will generate a podcast with AI hosts discussing the topic. You can interact with the AI hosts at any point in time, ask questions about the topic, or request them to explain points in a different way."
Three former NotebookLM developers left Google and created Huxe, an audio-first app that generates multi-host AI podcasts to help users dive deep into topics. The startup raised $4.6 million from investors including Conviction, Genius Ventures, Figma CEO Dylan Field, and Google Research chief scientist Jeff Dean. Huxe launched invite-only in June and is now available on iOS and Android. The team pivoted from a B2B-leaning chatbot to a consumer personal assistant in March 2025 that produced personalized images, videos, and audio. Huxe delivers daily briefings by scanning emails and calendars and enables interactive AI-hosted podcast exploration.
