I built ClipSleuth because I kept running into the same problem: I’d see a viral clip on X, TikTok, or Instagram and have no idea where it originally came from. Was it from a podcast episode? A TV show? A movie? Most clips online lose their source completely. ClipSleuth solves that by identifying the original source of a clip instantly. Just paste a link and it finds the exact podcast episode, TV show, or movie it came from. Under the hood it works using audio fingerprinting — similar to how Shazam identifies songs — but applied to podcasts and media clips. The goal is simple: make it easy to trace viral moments back to their original context. I’d love feedback from the community: • Did ClipSleuth correctly identify the clips you tested? • What platforms should we support next? • Any ideas on how this could be useful for creators or journalists?
