Descript Season 4 Comes With More AI And New Features (2023)
Today (June 13th) Descript Season 4 was announced, as part of their quarterly updates, where they walked creators like us through what they have released in the past few months, and gave us an early look at the most existing features they’ve got going on, including what they call “a first look at some weird and wonderful new AI stuff we’re releasing.”
