The problem it solves

Producing a podcast with multiple voices usually means booking studio time or hiring voice actors just to record a script. That turns a simple episode into a multi-day project instead of something you can put out regularly.

Who it fits

Content creators, marketers, and businesses that want to publish podcasts on a regular schedule.

How it works

  1. You write the podcast script in a spreadsheet, one row per speaker line
  2. The system pulls all the lines and puts them in speaking order
  3. AI voice generation turns the script into audio, using a distinct voice per speaker
  4. The finished audio file is saved to your cloud storage, ready to publish
What you get

Episodes released with a full cast of voices

Your written scripts become polished, multi-voice podcast episodes complete with distinct voices for every speaker, ready to publish on your schedule.

What you get

A finished multi-speaker podcast audio file saved to your cloud storage.

What you need

A Google account and a text-to-speech API subscription.

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.
