Auddia Inc. announced a partnership with Sounds Profitable. Auddia's new technologies, when applied to podcasting audio, allow for the identification of different segments or "chapters" in a podcast episode. This can be done in real-time on the listener's mobile device.

When segments are identified in advance, such as an ad break, listeners can be given controls which let them more easily jump forward through the episode. This technology will be added to the faidr mobile app on partnering podcasts, but it can also be offered to 3rd parties such as podcasting app developers, or even analytics platforms for advertising monitoring, detection and reporting. These integration opportunities are now a higher priority for the Company.

The partnership with Sounds Profitable is directly tied to the new integration initiative and part of Auddia's continued investment in the podcast industry, centered on its Enhanced Podcasts features, which include segment-identification and ad-avoidance technology, new and more efficient monetization opportunities for podcasts and networks, supplemental content, analytics, and social/interactive functionality. The Company's goals for the Enhanced Podcasts offering are to provide better economics for podcasters; more customization and control for users; and superior data and transparency for publishers. In November of 2023, The Company announced its intentions to launch a subscription-based ad-free podcast offering.

Since that announcement, the Company has been working with podcasters and other industry leaders on potential SaaS and API offerings which could distribute and integrate Auddia's technologies across a wide range of platforms. Although Auddia still plans to offer some podcasts completely ad-free within faidr and is in talks with podcast networks to do so, the Company has decided to prioritize the larger scale SaaS and API integration applications of its technology. This strategy allows Auddia to leverage its completed AI and NLP technologies for the podcasting industry at a much grander scale.
