chit at work
An AI voice recorder for podcasters and producers
Who carries it: Host / producer
Show notes should not take longer than the show. chit is an AI voice recorder for podcasters: hold the button through episodes, pre-interviews and brainstorm sessions and get back show notes and a clip list queued as next steps.
When a host presses it
- Episodes
- pre-interviews
- brainstorm sessions
“Podcast host; generate show notes and guest follow-ups.”
A context like this — typed once into the app — is how chit stops being a generic recorder and starts being yours.
Show notes and the clip ideas you called out, as next steps.
Every episode and pre-interview captured, with the recordings staying in your own environment.
Own your masters: recordings and transcripts resident in your own VPC on network deployments.
Post-production admin, drafted before you sit down
The tax on an episode is not the recording, it is everything after: show notes, the clip list, the guest follow-up you promised on air. Hold the card through the session and through the pre-interview, and the transcript comes back with the show notes and the clip ideas you called out as next steps. The pre-interview is the one people underuse — it is where the guest tells you the story they are actually good at telling, forty minutes before you start recording the version they think you want. Capturing that means the episode is built on the better conversation. For networks running several shows, fleet deployments keep the recordings resident in your own environment rather than a vendor's.

Good questions
Can it write my show notes for me?
The $9/month membership turns every recording into a transcript and the digest surfaces show notes and a clip list as next steps — the post-production admin, drafted before you sit down to edit.
Is it useful for pre-interviews and brainstorms, not just episodes?
That's where it earns its keep. The device is credit-card sized and records while you hold the button, so the idea said out loud on a walk becomes a searchable note, not a memory.
Where do my recordings live?
On the device until it next has a connection; the membership adds cloud backup. For networks running multiple shows, enterprise fleets keep data resident in your own VPC — see hichit.com/enterprise.
Will the battery survive a week of touring?
The battery runs about a month of typical use, and chit works offline and syncs later — green rooms and venues with bad wifi don't cost you a capture.
What does it cost to start?
chit one is $129 and chit one Pro is $179, each with a $9/month membership for transcripts, digests, and search. Free shipping in the contiguous US, free 30-day returns, and about a 3-week lead time right now.
Recording laws differ by state, and several require every party's consent. chit only captures while the button is held — know your state's rule before recording another person.
