Trebble FM helps people get informed quickly with shortcasts
Trebble FM (an Ottawa Founder Institute portfolio company) today launches a Samsung Bixby capsule, available to all Samsung customers in the US. The new bixby capsule helps people stay up-to-date with topics that matter to them by listening to a daily feed of personalized short podcasts on eligible Samsung devices.
Trebble recognizes the need for people to stay on the pulse of what is going on in their world. Consumers have too many distractions and a plethora of content to go through to get what they want and not enough time to discover the content they're searching for. The Trebble platform solves that. Our mobile app available on Android, iOS and now on Bixby, lets you follow different people and organizations that you know and trust, covering topics that matter to you, and gives you a daily feed of shortcasts (short podcasts) to listen to every day.
The new Samsung Bixby voice assistant helps people become more efficient. It integrates with your favorite apps and continuously learns about what you would like to help you be more effective, save time and when appropriate, can even proactively suggest you things you should do, like a real life assistant. We are proud to launch our Samsung Bixby voice app(also known as a capsule) on the Bixby voice assistant to bring shortcasts to Bixby users and help them stay in the know on topics that matter to them hands-free. This is perfect for people on the go, whether your jogging, driving or cooking.
