PodGenius

Overview

PodGenius transforms podcast scripts into studio-quality audio in minutes, eliminating the need for expensive recording equipment or editing expertise. This AI-powered agent is designed for solo podcasters, content creators, and course instructors who demand professional-sounding episodes without the technical complexity. By automating script enrichment, voice synthesis, audio cleaning, and show note generation, PodGenius streamlines the entire podcast production workflow from text to distribution-ready MP3.

How It Works

1. Fetch Script (Google Docs) — Retrieve your podcast episode script directly from Google Docs, capturing all formatting, structure, and content for processing.

2. Enrich Script for Natural Delivery (Claude Sonnet) — AI analyzes the raw script and adds professional delivery cues: pause markers for breathing moments, emphasis annotations for impactful phrases, pronunciation guides for technical terms, and automatic segmentation (max 2,500 characters) to ensure optimal audio quality from ElevenLabs.

3. Select Host Voice (ElevenLabs) — Browse and choose from ElevenLabs' extensive voice library, including custom voice clones, to match your podcast's unique tone and style.

4. Generate Studio-Quality Audio (ElevenLabs) — Synthesize each script segment into high-fidelity audio with character-level timing data, enabling precise timestamping for show notes and chapter markers.

5. Clean Audio (ElevenLabs Voice Isolation) — Apply advanced noise isolation to remove any background artifacts, ensuring a crisp, professional final product.

6. Transcribe Audio (Deepgram) — Automatically transcribe the generated audio with speaker diarization, creating an accurate text record for accessibility and show note sourcing.

7. Generate Structured Show Notes (Claude Sonnet) — AI synthesizes the transcript into polished show notes: episode summary, timestamped chapters, key quotes, and a call-to-action optimized for listener engagement.

8. Append Show Notes to Document (Google Docs) — Automatically insert the generated show notes at the end of your episode document for easy reference and collaboration.

9. Log Episode Record (Notion) — Create a database entry capturing episode metadata: title, voice used, duration, show notes link, and publishing status for centralized podcast management.
