01 · The pipeline

Every episode moves through the same five stages, then the show compounds.

The stages are stations on one line. Pick the stage you are solving and go deep.

Then the show compounds

02 · The fault line

AI didn't create a fifth category. It moved the handoffs into the software itself.

In the production stages, two run on your judgment. The other two used to run on exports, downloads, and uploads between four tools. Those handoffs were the real work.

Still needs you

  • 02 · Record
  • 03 · Edit

Performance, taste, and judgment. Creator tools help here. They don't replace you.

Where the handoffs lived

  • 04 · Repurpose
  • 05 · Publish

Transcripts, chapters, clips, social posts, websites, distribution. Four tools, and every file moved by hand. Now the software carries them.

AI cut the pipeline in half.

03 · After recording stops

The handoffs became software.

Most podcast tools help you make an episode. PodcastAI takes over after recording stops. It creates transcripts, chapters, clips, social posts, and episode websites. Then it hosts and publishes the finished episode.
