How the work actually flows

A straight line.

The problem it solves

You want to put out regular news updates, but writing a script, recording it, and publishing it takes real time every single day. Doing that consistently on top of everything else is hard to sustain.

Who it fits

Content creators or small media teams producing recurring news updates.

How it works

  1. On a set schedule, the system checks for the latest news headlines
  2. AI writes a professional broadcast script from those headlines
  3. The script is converted into natural-sounding speech
  4. The finished audio episode is uploaded and published automatically
What you get

A finished episode without touching a microphone

You get a fully produced, narrated podcast episode built from the day's news headlines and published automatically.

What you get

A finished, publish-ready podcast episode with a written script and natural voice narration.

What you need

A news data API account, an ElevenLabs account for voice, an OpenRouter account for AI text generation, and a Spreaker account for publishing.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
