The problem it solves

Turning your written content into audio takes time you don't have, and outsourcing narration is expensive and slow. Meanwhile your blog posts sit unused as a format many readers and listeners prefer to consume on the go.

Who it fits

Content marketers and bloggers who want to repurpose written articles into audio without hiring a voice actor.

How it works

  1. A new blog post appears in your RSS feed
  2. The article text is cleaned and readied for narration
  3. Eleven Labs converts it into a natural-sounding MP3
  4. The file is saved to Google Drive and logged in a Google Sheet
  5. An email or Slack message shares the finished audio link
What you get

Blog posts turned into audio without a voice actor

Your blog posts turn into polished audio content automatically, ready to share with your subscribers and team the moment they publish.

What you get

A ready-to-share MP3 of each blog post, with a public link, metadata, and a log entry recording it.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an Eleven Labs account, an OpenAI API key, and Gmail or Slack for distribution.

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.
