Swell AI is a writing tool. Give it a podcast episode or a video and it returns a transcript, show notes, an article, a newsletter, LinkedIn posts, and clips cut from the transcript. Dailies writes nothing. It records the calls you hold in Chrome on Google Meet, Microsoft Teams or Zoom and delivers up to eight captioned vertical shorts from each. If your audience reads you, Swell AI covers far more ground. If you want them to see and hear you answer a real question, that is all Dailies does.

Swell AI is an AI writing tool for podcasts and videos. You upload audio or video, paste a YouTube URL, or connect an RSS feed or Apple Podcasts, and a back catalogue can be imported in bulk. From each episode it produces a transcript with speaker labels, a summary, show notes, articles, newsletters, titles, LinkedIn posts and Twitter threads, following reusable templates and a brand voice, and it offers a chatbot trained on each episode. It also makes clips: its site describes uploading a video and getting, minutes later, clips of under 60 seconds, of one to two minutes or of more than five minutes, and a transcript editor that suggests sections for you to highlight and clip. Captions can be added to clips. Its site states more than 100 supported languages.
Most of what Swell AI makes is text: transcripts, show notes, articles, newsletters, LinkedIn posts and Twitter threads, written from an episode in your brand voice. Clips come alongside. Dailies makes shorts and nothing else: each one reframed on whoever speaks, captioned in one of fifteen styles, with silences, filler words and false starts cut out.
Swell AI’s site describes clips in three lengths, from under 60 seconds to more than five minutes, to which captions can be added before export, and an editor that suggests sections of the transcript for you to highlight and clip. The pages we read do not say whether its clips are vertical, reframed on the speaker or cleaned of filler words. Dailies delivers 9:16 shorts only, each showing the person who speaks, full screen: your webcam, or your guest’s tile cropped on their face.
Swell AI imports media: an upload, a YouTube URL, an RSS feed or Apple Podcasts. We found no recording feature on the pages we read, so a call must be recorded and exported before Swell AI can work on it. Dailies records the call itself in Chrome, with your webcam on a track of its own.
Articles, newsletters, show notes and social posts from every episode, templates you reuse, a brand voice, a chatbot trained on each episode, and bulk import of a back catalogue. Dailies has none of that. It takes no file and no link, writes no notes or summaries, and hands you shorts to download in Full HD and post yourself.
We found no recording feature on the Swell AI pages we read. It imports media you already have: an upload, a YouTube URL, an RSS feed or Apple Podcasts. A call would be recorded by another tool first. Dailies records the call itself, from a Chrome extension.
Yes. Its site describes uploading a video and getting clips of under 60 seconds, of one to two minutes or of more than five minutes, to which captions can be added, and a transcript editor that suggests sections to clip. Whether those clips are vertical or reframed on the speaker is not stated on the pages we read.
Not for writing. Dailies writes no show notes, articles, newsletters or summaries: it makes shorts from the calls it records. For written content from episodes, Swell AI is the tool; for shorts from client calls, Dailies is. The two can serve the same person.
Its site states more than 100 supported languages without naming them on the pages we read, so French is not confirmed there, and those pages are in English. Dailies handles calls in French, in English and in both mixed, with an interface in French.
Add Dailies to Chrome, record the call you were going to have anyway, and watch its shorts a few minutes after you hang up.
