Stop googling your podcasts. Just ask them. You hear something mid-episode, a name, a study, a claim, and you want to know more. So you pause, open Safari, Google it, scroll through results, lose your place, forget what the host was saying. curio lets you skip all of that. Tap one button. Ask out loud. curio answers from the exact moment in the episode you just heard, pulls live web sources through Firecrawl when the episode leaves gaps, and drops you back into the same second of playback. Say “save this to Notion” and the whole conversation, answer, sources, context, goes to your workspace. Works with any podcast. Any episode. Any question. How it uses ElevenLabs: Full Conversational AI agent over WebSocket with dynamic context injection. curio feeds the live transcript into the agent based on your exact playback position, so the agent always knows what you’re hearing right now. Voice activity detection drives the UI, and real-time audio frequency data powers the waveform visualization. How it uses Firecrawl: The agent has Firecrawl as a tool and decides when to search on its own. If the answer lives in the transcript, it uses that. If your question goes beyond what the host covered, it fires off a Firecrawl search and returns grounded answers with real sources. Also used for episode-level background enrichment before you even ask. Tech stack: React Native (Expo), Cloudflare Workers, Cloudflare KV for transcript caching, Groq Whisper for real-time transcription, iTunes API for podcast discovery, server-side RSS parsing, Notion API for saves.
