B-Roll by Biteable

Substack creators are great at writing. But growing an audience takes more than words. In this episode of B-Roll from Biteable, we discuss a new feature that Biteable has rolled out that allows users to take any Substack article and turn it into a video by copying and pasting the URL for the article.

In this episode of B-Roll, Mike, Brent, Tommy, Leah, and special guest Simon explore the rise of AI avatars — from lifelike to cartoon — and debate when they build trust, when they feel creepy, and where they fit in the future of communication. They share behind-the-scenes insights on designing and implementing avatars, technical challenges, and the surprising ways they’re already showing up in our feeds.

Along the way, they debate whether AI is a revolutionary coworker, an annoying intern, or just another tool in the belt.Plus, we put AI writing to the test against Leah’s unmistakable voice.
