As we step into 2025, we’re proud to look back on an extraordinary year of growth, innovation, and milestones for Intra.FM. Designed to revolutionize corporate training through AI-powered audio content, our platform made significant strides in 2024, catering to the needs of enterprises and large organizations. Here’s an overview of the highlights that defined this transformative year for us.
Expanding Our Team to Drive Innovation
In 2024, we significantly expanded our team, welcoming skilled frontend, backend, and mobile app developers to support our ambitious roadmap. This growth has not only bolstered our technical capabilities but also enabled us to accelerate development across multiple platforms, ensuring our clients receive cutting-edge solutions tailored to their needs.
Launching Our Apps in Private Alpha
One of our key achievements this year was launching Intra.FM’s Android, iOS, and web apps in private alpha. A select group of enterprise clients is now using these apps, providing invaluable feedback as we refine the platform for a public beta release.
Our most notable milestone during this phase was implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) in just six weeks—a response to a client’s request. This feature is now available to all our enterprise clients, streamlining access and improving security.
Separately, our journey in authentication has also evolved. We began by supporting Microsoft authentication exclusively, later implementing Single Sign-On (SSO) as a key enterprise feature. This foundational work set the stage for the integration of Google and Apple authentication, both crucial for the public beta launch of our apps in 2025. These developments ensure seamless access for all users while reinforcing our commitment to enterprise-grade security.
Strengthening DevOps and AI Contributions
Recognizing the critical role of DevOps in delivering a seamless experience, we allocated one of our senior developers to lead this domain. Beyond ensuring operational excellence, this team member also contributes to our AI research and implementation efforts, driving innovation across the platform.
Introducing AI-Generated Metadata and Chapters
We ended 2024 on a high note with the release of an AI agent that generates metadata and navigable chapters for uploaded episodes. By using the audio file as input, this feature enhances content discoverability and user experience.
This marks the first step in realizing our vision of an AI agent capable of creating podcasts from any source. With the rise of Google NotebookLM and Meta AI’s NotebookLlama, we’re developing a “two-host podcast” approach alongside our existing one-host AI workflow. Our 2025 goal is to release a public platform enabling users to generate podcasts from a document or URL. Features will include customizable tones, voices, graphic design, editing tools, translation, metadata generation, and automated worldwide deployment via Intra.FM.
Scaling Branded Podcast Production
To meet growing demand, we hired a full-time AI voice editor and podcast writer. Leveraging cutting-edge technology and internal tools, we now produce 150–200 episodes monthly for our branded podcasts, soon to be available for free to all users.
Our corporate training podcasts cover essential topics like soft skills, effective communication, and teamwork. This year, we also responded to a client’s request for ESG-related content, dedicating three podcasts (a total of 180 episodes) to helping managers and employees adopt impactful ESG practices.
Migrating to AWS for Advanced Capabilities
In 2024, we successfully migrated our infrastructure from Google Cloud to AWS. This move enhances our platform with advanced services like point-in-time recovery, automated backups, best-in-class CDN, and automatic scaling. Despite the complexity of this transition, our hosted API ensured no disruption for existing clients—a testament to our commitment to reliability.
Microsoft AI Cloud Partnership: A Commitment to Innovation
We are proud to be a recognized Microsoft AI Cloud Partner, a designation that reflects our dedication to staying at the forefront of AI innovation. This partnership grants us access to the latest tools and technologies, empowering us to deliver cutting-edge solutions for enterprises.
Balancing AI Governance and Innovation
As AI continues to shape the future of work, we recognize the delicate balance between governance and innovation. At Intra.FM, we prioritize safety, accessibility, and responsibility over flashy, high-risk features. Our approach is grounded in thoughtful innovation, ensuring that every advancement aligns with the long-term interests of our clients and their teams.
The challenges of navigating governance in AI are immense, but they are also an opportunity to lead responsibly in a rapidly evolving landscape. As we look ahead, we remain committed to embracing the transformative potential of AI while ensuring that every step forward is both deliberate and secure. Challenges will undoubtedly arise, but with a clear vision and a steadfast commitment to our values, we’re ready to face them head-on.
Intra.FM is not just building tools for today—we’re shaping the future of corporate training and collaboration, one responsible innovation at a time.
Looking Ahead: The Journey Continues
2024 was a year of groundbreaking achievements and relentless progress for Intra.FM. From team expansion and app launches to pioneering AI features and infrastructure upgrades, every milestone brought us closer to redefining corporate training.
But this is just the beginning. As we enter 2025, we’re committed to delivering even greater value to our clients, pushing the boundaries of AI-powered audio, and realizing our vision for a transformative learning platform.
Thank you to our team, partners, and clients for being part of this incredible journey. Here’s to a future of innovation and success!
