This is what veridive believes, and why it exists. Call it our manifesto.
The most valuable knowledge of our time is no longer being written it's being spoken. The expert who would once have written a paper or a blog post now goes on a podcast, gives a talk, sits for a three-hour interview, or records an explainer. Founders explain their thinking on YouTube. Scientists go deep on podcasts. Investors, doctors, builders and operators say what they really think out loud. We call this vast, growing, mostly-unsearchable body of human knowledge the spoken web and almost none of it is answerable today.
The scale is staggering
Hundreds of hours of video are uploaded to YouTube every minute.
By some estimates, YouTube alone carries on the order of billions of spoken words a day the equivalent of many encyclopedias, daily.
YouTube is effectively the second-largest search engine in the world, with billions of searches a day.
Yet a tiny fraction of videos ever cross even 10,000 views so the vast majority of what's said is, in practice, invisible.

Congrats on the launch! 🚀 The idea of making the spoken web searchable and verifiable is really compelling. Love the ability to jump directly to the exact moment a claim was made.

@alina_tyslenok_ Really appreciate it. "Searchable and verifiable" is exactly the bet, especially the verifiable part. If a claim looks too good, one click and you are at the source. What would you point it at first?
Love the idea of making the spoken web searchable. I can already see myself using this for founder interviews, and long-form podcasts. Congrats!
