What utilities related to Whisper do you wish existed? What have you had to build yourself?

On the end user application side, I wish there was something that let me pick a podcast of my choosing, get it fully transcribed, and get an embeddings search plus answer q&a on top of that podcast or set of chosen podcasts. I've seen ones for specific podcasts, but I'd like one where I can choose the podcast. (Probably won't build it)

Also on the end user side, I wish there was an Otter alternative (still paid $30/mo, but unlimited minutes per month) that had longer transcription limits. (Started building this, not much interest from users though)
