Most LLMs still use just a narrow slice of the internet to reason: open (or scraped), stale, written text. The written open web is the easy, first modality for AI. But to advance AI capabilities in the areas where it matters most, across regulated domains and modalities outside that slice, we need better data.

Today, Redpine announces their partnership with All Ears, to unlock spoken media for AI at scale.

All Ears is the leading independent spoken media intelligence platform, that is now live and queryable via Redpine. AI companies and agents can access All Ears' structured signals and observations from podcasts, social media platforms, broadcast, web TV, and other spoken sources through Redpine's API and MCP-based workflows.

All Ears joins a roster of 50+ premium data partners on Redpine across science, medicine, law, finance, and now spoken media. They are the first major audio partner to go live on the platform, and the kind of partner Redpine was built for: a large, unique, non-public dataset of spoken media observations and insights.

Why spoken media, and why now

Every day, 50,000+ hours of audio are produced across the formats All Ears covers, in many languages. This is where narratives form before they become articles, where market sentiment shows up before written analysis catches it, and where reactions happen before they hit search trends. For agents trying to build a real picture of the world, missing this layer is not a small gap.

The reason it has stayed missing is clear: spoken media is fragmented, unstructured, and hard to license. All Ears has spent years solving the first two problems: building independent infrastructure that processes audio at scale and turns it into structured, machine-readable observations. Redpine handles the third: distributing that data to AI agentic systems handling legal, commercial and technical challenges.

What this unlocks

Through Redpine, AI agents query All Ears' spoken-media layer the way they would query any other licensed source. In practice, that means:

• A research agent monitoring a portfolio company can pick up earnings call commentary and podcast discussion at the same time it reads the news.
• A brand intelligence workflow can surface mentions across podcasts, broadcasts, and social audio, not just written media.
• An agent tracking emerging narratives can see them form in spoken media before they appear in written news.

“All Ears spent years building independent spoken-media infrastructure before AI agents needed it. Now we get to turn that rare data layer into a recurring revenue stream for All Ears in the new world of agentic AI.” - Anders Hammarbäck, CEO and Co-founder, Redpine.

The road ahead

Redpine's thesis is straightforward: data is the main bottleneck in advancing AI, and the data that matters is mostly licensed, mostly multimodal, and mostly off the open web. We work directly with copyright holders, data owners, publishers, and research institutions to make their data AI-ready, then we expose it compliantly to builders through API and MCP.

"AI agents need a more complete view of the world, and that starts with greater transparency into the spoken information layer. We believe that spoken media should be searchable, measurable and part of the machine-readable internet. We look forward to working together with Redpine to achieve this." - Jonas Lönnquist, CEO, All Ears.
