Describe what your company does in a single sentence.

nēdl is an AI-powered live audio discovery platform that lets you search over 120,000 live streams for music, news, sports, and talk by real-time captions, and engage with broadcasts or start your own call-in radio show through our exclusive invitation-only stūdio app.

OPPORTUNITY / CHALLENGE

What specific goals or objectives did you hire RemoteState to accomplish?

• We hired RemoteState to build a robust, AI-powered audio platform that supports live transcription, monetization, and content amplification for both creators and audiences. Our primary goals were to create two seamless applications—one designed for creators to easily host live, call-in radio shows and another for audiences to access and interact with these shows. We needed an end-to-end solution that would enable instant broadcasting, live text transcription, and custom URL sharing for a broader reach without requiring listeners to download an app. RemoteState’s role encompassed the full scope of technical development, ensuring a stable, scalable, and user-friendly platform aligned with our vision.
• Our goal was to expertly restore and operationalize our tech infrastructure. After a significant $500K investment in 2022 to rebuild our platform, our code and systems had deprecated due to paused development. Given the complexity of our architecture—spanning five distinct apps, multiple APIs, and SDKs in various languages with high visibility—we needed a specialized team to reinstate our platform on servers, ensuring a seamless experience for investors to see, use, and engage with our technology.

Describe the scope of work in detail. Please include a summary of key deliverables.

The scope of work for RemoteState was extensive and included the development of two integrated platforms: one for creators (native on iOS and Android) and one for the audience (reactnative for Adroid and iOS) and the web. For creators, RemoteState built tools to initiate live, call-in shows, handle live transcription, monetize content, and amplify reach through custom URLs. For the audience, they designed a responsive interface that allows users to receive text alerts, listen live, and interact without needing an app. Key deliverables included real-time audio processing with minimal latency, secure data handling for live broadcasts, a seamless user interface, and a scalable backend to accommodate high traffic volumes and future growth.

RESULTS & FEEDBACK

What were the measurable outcomes from the project that demonstrate progress or success?

RemoteState’s work resulted in a fully functional, dual-platform solution that met all our technical requirements. We observed a significant increase in user engagement due to the live transcription and instant alert features, which expanded our audience reach. The platform's stability and performance metrics were impressive, with no major technical issues post-launch. Additionally, user retention and feedback indicated strong satisfaction with the interface and overall usability, validating the success of the project. Overall, RemoteState helped us achieve a successful product launch with reliable performance and a smooth user experience.

Describe their project management. Did they deliver items on time? How did they respond to your needs?

This was my absolute favorite part of hiring RemoteState. RemoteState’s project management was highly efficient, with clear timelines and proactive communication throughout. They ensured all deliverables were met on time and accommodated any changes or additional requirements with flexibility and professionalism. Their team was responsive to our feedback and kept us updated at every project phase, which helped streamline the decision-making process. RemoteState also conducted regular check-ins and provided detailed reports on project progress, making us feel involved and confident in their work. Finally, customer empathy (and not in a perfomative way) was among the best I've ever experienced in my 2+ decades-long professional career. 

What was your primary form of communication with RemoteState?

• Virtual Meeting
• Email or Messaging App

What did you find most impressive or unique about this company?

What impressed us most about RemoteState was their deep understanding of our needs and their commitment to delivering a solution that exceeded our expectations. Their technical proficiency with AI-powered audio processing and live transcription stood out, as did their ability to adapt the product to a unique, dual-platform structure. Their attention to detail, especially in ensuring a seamless and intuitive user experience, set them apart. RemoteState’s transparent communication and willingness to go above and beyond to meet our project goals made the entire experience rewarding.

Are there any areas for improvement or something RemoteState could have done differently?

While RemoteState consistently delivered high-quality work, some aspects of the initial project onboarding could have been more streamlined. More structured discovery sessions early on might have helped clarify some technical specifications upfront. However, their responsiveness and adaptability mitigated any early miscommunications, and overall, we were highly satisfied with their work and would gladly collaborate with them again.
