Audio generation app Huxe, founded by former NotebookLM developers, shuts down

General News

Summary

Huxe, an audio-generation app started in late 2024 by former NotebookLM developers Raiza Martin, Jason Spielman and Stephen Hughes, is shutting down and will be removed from the App Store and Play Store. The app will continue to work for installed users for seven days, after which the company will delete all user data. Huxe had raised $4.6 million from investors including Conviction, Genius Ventures, Figma CEO Dylan Field and Jeff Dean, but the startup did not specify a reason for winding down beyond the team moving on. The company faced heavy competition and feature commoditization after larger firms like Spotify and others released similar podcast-generation features, which likely made scaling and monetization difficult.
