Inspired by the success of the project, three Dave who have worked on Notebooklm since its establishment are now building a first audio application called HoixWhich can help users likely to dive into topics by creating “podcasts” with multiple AI hosts. The startup said on Tuesday that it raised $ 4.6 million of funding from condemnation, Genius Ventures, CEO of Figma Dylan Field, and the chief scientist in Google Research, Jeff Dean.

The application was launched on the basis of an invitation only in June, and it is now available to everyone IOS and Android.

Riza Martin, along with Jason Spielman and Stephen Hughes, left Google in December 2024 to explore their own ideas. They initially launched a chat for more B2B, but they decided to focus on the consumer market and build a personal assistant in March 2025 that could generate photos, videos and dedicated voice.

“During this stage, we realized that people love the ability to generate sound for different topics. We also noticed that people often used the application at specific times to get a daily summary or catch news while preparing,” Martin told Techcrunch.

That three insight led to sound and construction Hoix.

Huxe mainly gives you a daily briefing based on your emails and connecting calendars to understand your schedule. It also allows you to explore themes, and like a notebooklm notebook, it will create podcast with artificial intelligence hosts discuss the topic. You can interact with artificial intelligence hosts at any time, ask questions about the topic, or ask them to explain the points in a different way.

What is different here is that Huxe allows users to build a “live station” from any topic, such as technical news, sports, or even celebrity gossip. After listening to a station, the application will give you updates by clicking on different sources – useful to follow the developing news. There is also a dedicated summary, which automatically creates an audio content that may interest you.

Martin said that within early Notebooklm days, a group of power users led the product notes, and Huxe sees similar signs.

She said: “This is a good product for people who spend all day on their screens with many tabs open to their browser. People who may want to catch their email, timetable and news can do this without looking at their screens.”
