Today we unveiled the biggest improvements we've ever made to Descript, designed after several years of listening to our users' feedback — and built to make room for our AI editing assistant, Underlord.
Underlord is your all-powerful, incredibly versatile, book-smart editing assistant. At every step of your workflow, Underlord tackles the tedium, the drudgery — and leaves the creative work to you.
We hope you'll give Underlord a spin, then tell us what you think by leaving a comment on Product Hunt.
For a closer look at all the changes and improvements we made, you can watch a tour of the new layout, or see how Underlord works, on our web app (which BTW is out of Beta and works like a charm — you should try it).
Or if you are the delightful kind of Descript nerd who wants every little detail about what's changed and how, get your fix with a video and article on the changelog.
