Claus Enevoldsen, VP Growth and Business Development of Flipboard commented on the partnership,įlipboard allows you to discover content across all your interests and we’ve seen an increasing demand for audio on our platform. It also wants to grow its audio strategy on the platform as a whole. Next Stepsīatish says that Audioburst will continue to grow their magazines on Flipboard, in addition to growing the company’s exposure on the site. Audioburst has an Alexa skill called “News Feed” and a Google Assistant action called, “Audio Burst.” Both voice applications allow users to ask about news, curate news topics to hear about, ask about the traffic, weather, and more.

The company has also released several other APIs that allow third-party developers to use its library of audio content to deliver a personalized listening experience for the user.

For example, Audioburst and LGE partnered in December 2018 to integrate the Audioburst Deep Analysis API for Live Audio Streams into in-car infotainment systems for leading automakers. The company has made headlines in the past through its partnerships centered around making use of their audio content APIs. Audioburst aims to achieve the same thing, but with audio clips. Since Flipboard’s launch in 2010, its user base has grown to over 100 million monthly active users who flip through snippets of stories to curate their own news feed.

With more and more people consuming audio content it only makes sense, and we are very happy to be pioneering the world of audio content with people like Flipboard. Audioburst acts as an expansion to the Flipboard natural experience. Maybe you need to go screenless in a jog, you are walking or maybe driving to work, and don’t have the time or option to read through Flipboard. We see it as an on-the-go experience of Flipboard. The partnership between the two companies just made sense according to Batish: I had the chance to speak with Audioburst’s VP Product, Rachel Batish, about Audioburst’s partnership with Flipboard. Flipboard Provides Audioburst the Perfect Platform to Expand Its Reach
