Step by step
Create an episode concept, question list and a rough structure for the conversation.
A planned episode with a clear structure makes recording and editing easier. Think through the key points and a thread beforehand.
Example promptI'm planning a podcast episode on the topic [topic] with guest [guest/role]. Create an episode concept: an engaging hook, 8–10 good interview questions with a logical flow, and a few possible follow-up questions.
Clean up the recording and edit it like a text document – easily delete slips and pauses.
When editing as a text document, you simply delete words to remove stumbles and pauses. That's much easier than classic audio editing.
Example promptRemove filler words (um, uh), long pauses and slips from my recording so the conversation flows smoothly but stays natural.
Create a searchable transcript with speaker detection.
A searchable transcript makes content findable and reusable – for show notes or a blog article, for example.
Example promptTranscribe the recording with speaker separation and mark the most important statements as well as possible quotes for social media.
Automatically cut viral short clips with subtitles from the long episode.
Short, viral clips from the long episode work well on TikTok, Reels, and Shorts and lead new listeners to your full episode.
Example promptFind the 5 strongest moments from this episode for short clips (under 60 seconds), each with subtitles and a punchy hook title on the topic [topic].
Schedule clips and quotes as posts across all channels.
Example promptCreate one social-media post (Instagram, LinkedIn) from each of these 3 podcast quotes, with a short intro and matching hashtags. Quotes: [paste quotes].
