Show HN: Converts any text into a podcast featuring customizable speakers

Tue, 04/22/2025 - 2:59pm

I built Unstruct.AI to transform how we consume content. The system converts any text into an interactive podcast featuring customizable speakers - yes, you can literally 'cast' recognizable personalities in your content.

Example: I transformed OpenAI's GPT-4o image generation blog post into a 4-minute conversation starring Sam Altman, Gabriel Goh, and Prafulla Dhariwal discussing the technology, with relevant visuals from the original post mapped to each segment.

The process takes seconds:

1. Upload content and images 2. AI generates the conversation 3. Map visuals to segments 4. Customize your 'cast' 5. Share or embed

Demo link in comments. Would love feedback on potential use cases and how you might use this technology.

Tag along rights seem essential for for early employees?

Tue, 04/22/2025 - 2:08pm

With the IPO markets dwindling and acquisitions and secondary markets growing as new avenues for liquidity and exits, I’m curious why this topic isn’t brought up more frankly.

I have witnessed many cases of startup founders selling equity as secondaries, selling during tender offers, etc but NOT extending these opportunities to early employees.

I have even seen founders take out lines of credit from big banks, with their equity as collateral.

Is it foolish to be an early employee or advisor of a startup and not insist on having tag along rights? Given that the likelihood of an IPO is decreasing with time, and founders are enriching themselves via secondary markets.

Early employees could have a lot of theoretical stock, but real opportunities for liquidity seem to be decreasing.
