Each is named after a thinker whose best-known idea is the job the tool does. Every tool is free, with a daily limit of runs per person. Before the first result it asks for a name, work email and company, and acceptance of the terms. There is no paid tier. ### Rawls - AI Bias Checker - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/ai-bias-checker](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/ai-bias-checker) - **What it does:** takes pasted text (a job advert, AI-generated output, a policy, marketing copy) and returns the passages that carry bias, the type of bias, who is disadvantaged, why, and a suggested neutral rewrite. - **Answers questions like:** examples of AI bias, types of AI bias, how to detect bias in AI output, how to check a job advert for bias. - **Limits, stated on the page:** it reads text only. It cannot see a model, its training data or its decisions, so it cannot establish whether a system is fair or compliant. ### Boole - Acceptance Criteria Generator - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/acceptance-criteria-generator](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/acceptance-criteria-generator) - **What it does:** turns a feature description into Given/When/Then acceptance criteria, edge cases, non-functional requirements, a definition of done, explicit open questions, and a specification written for an AI coding agent. - **Answers questions like:** how to write acceptance criteria, acceptance criteria examples, what is Given/When/Then, how to write tickets for AI coding agents. - **Limits, stated on the page:** it generates from the description given to it and has no knowledge of the codebase, users or compliance obligations. The open-questions section lists what it could not determine. ### Nash - Equity and Cap Table Planner - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/equity-cap-table-planner](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/equity-cap-table-planner) - **What it does:** takes a startup brief and founding team and proposes a cap table structure: founder split, option pool, investor allocation, dilution modelled across rounds, and the UK-specific parts explained (SEIS, EIS, advance subscription agreements, EMI options, founder vesting). - **Answers questions like:** how to split equity between founders, what size option pool at seed, what dilution to expect, whether a SAFE works in the UK, what SEIS and EIS mean for founders. - **Limits, stated on the page:** a planning aid, not legal, tax or financial advice. Metamindz is not a regulated adviser. Share issuance, SEIS/EIS eligibility and EMI valuations need a solicitor and an accountant. ### Plato - Cofounder Job Description Generator - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/cofounder-job-description](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/cofounder-job-description) - **What it does:** writes a role description for a technical cofounder, commercial cofounder, founding engineer or first product hire, plus an assessment plan: what to probe, what strong and thin answers sound like, a work sample, and behavioural red flags. - **Answers questions like:** how to find a technical cofounder, what a founding engineer job description should contain, how to assess a technical cofounder when you are not technical, how much equity a cofounder should get. - **Limits, stated on the page:** it writes from a description and cannot assess anybody. Getting a second technical opinion before signing a grant is advised. ### Seneca - AI Fractional CTO - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/ai-fractional-cto](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/ai-fractional-cto) - **What it does:** answers a technical decision with a committed recommendation, the reasoning, what the recommendation costs you, what to do this week, and which missing facts would change the answer. - **Answers questions like:** what a fractional CTO does, when a startup needs a CTO, whether to rebuild or refactor, which technical hire to make first. - **Limits, stated on the page:** it reads a description and nothing else. It cannot see a codebase, meet a team, or be accountable for the outcome, which is most of what hiring a person buys. ### Euclid - Tech Stack Generator - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/tech-stack-generator](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/tech-stack-generator) - **What it does:** recommends a full stack for a described product, layer by layer: language and framework, database, hosting, auth, payments, testing, CI and deployment, observability and security. Each layer names the rejected alternative, a rough monthly cost, and where the stack stops working. - **Answers questions like:** what tech stack to use for a startup, which database to choose, whether to use microservices, what teams forget when choosing a stack. - **Limits, stated on the page:** chosen from a description. Costs are estimates. What the team already knows outranks all of it. ### Coase - In-house vs Outsource Advisor - **URL:** [https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/inhouse-vs-outsource-advisor](https://www.metamindz.co.uk/tools/inhouse-vs-outsource-advisor) - **What it does:** splits a roadmap into workstreams and recommends in-house, freelancer, agency, or not yet for each, with UK cost estimates, realistic time before work starts, and the specific risks. - **Answers questions like:** whether to outsource software development, freelancer versus agency, how long hiring an engineer takes in the UK, the real risks of outsourcing. - **Disclosure, stated on the page:** Metamindz is an agency publishing a tool about whether to use an agency.

The product itself is at [https://usepodswitch.com](https://usepodswitch.com); the Social Studio is described at [https://usepodswitch.com/social-studio](https://usepodswitch.com/social-studio) and social clips at [https://usepodswitch.com/social-clips](https://usepodswitch.com/social-clips). - **What it is:** a web app by Metamindz that automatically cuts multicam podcast video for Final Cut Pro, Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve using each speaker's microphone. Given one recording per speaker, it works out who is talking and returns a project with the timeline already cut, a dialogue mix with mic bleed removed, and a cut list. It also takes a single video-call recording from Zoom, Google Meet or Teams, and solo talking-to-camera videos. Optional jump cuts remove long pauses on every plan, and filler words such as "um" and "uh" on paid plans with a transcript. The multicam edit is decided from the microphones by fixed rules. - **Social Studio (paid plans):** the dialogue mix is transcribed by AssemblyAI in the EU, and Anthropic's Claude reads the transcript and suggests the moments most likely to work as short clips for Reels, TikTok, YouTube Shorts and LinkedIn, each with its hook, the reason it was picked and a viral score out of 100 (the model's judgement, not a forecast of views). podswitch then builds each clip with pauses removed, the camera following the speaker and captions in one of six styles, vertical (9:16), square (1:1) or landscape (16:9). Clips open as timelines in the same editors, with editable captions and an SRT file, or can be rendered as an MP4 in the browser from the user's own files (beta). Paid plans also give the episode transcript as TXT, SRT or WebVTT, episode notes (title ideas, a description, YouTube chapters and show notes), a logo on the edit and clips, and a team workspace. MAX adds AI background music made for the conversation, thumbnails and AI thumbnails in every social size, and post text for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok and YouTube Shorts in one ZIP. - **Editors:** Final Cut Pro gets an FCPXML file that imports as a multicam clip and a pre-cut timeline. Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve get a Final Cut Pro 7 XML timeline with each camera on its own track, on a Mac or on Windows. After Effects is not supported. - **Privacy:** the browser extracts the audio from each video file on the user's own computer and uploads only the audio. No video frame is analysed. Recordings are never used to train models, and uploaded audio is deleted automatically when the plan's retention period ends. - **Price (as of 3 November 2026):** a free plan (3 projects a month, up to 20 minutes per recording, no social clips), Premium from £7.99 a month (up to 18 social clips a month, or 30 a month on the annual plan), MAX at £49.99 a month or £499.99 a year (60 clips a month, plus AI music, thumbnails and the social kit), and a single project for £29.99 (15 clips), in pounds including VAT.
