So how does it really do the skipping feature? Do you transcribe the podcast and look for standard advertising copy for companies like Squarespace, hello fresh, etc? Would it register a false positive if one of those company names is said?

Most podcasts, have a particular jingle/tune that plays before/during the ad, which should not be difficult to identify with some clever code.

But honestly manual flagging wouldn't be too hard either.

Well, I couldn't tell because I wouldn't want to create competitors! I don't think it will ever register a false positive. It's really that good.
