AI Podcast Repurposing Factory

Inspiration:
One of the biggest headaches for podcast hosts is how to spin a single episode into enough promotional assets for distribution across multiple platforms. On Fiverr there are countless gigs offering "podcast social-media management", "video clipping", and similar services.

Target Customers:
Podcast hosts, content-marketing teams, key opinion leaders (KOLs).

Pain Points:
For a 60-minute episode, manually finishing the transcript, writing show notes, clipping highlights, making captioned videos, turning it into a blog post, etc. can take many hours—sometimes a full day. The workflow is highly repetitive and extremely time-consuming.

Solution (Micro-SaaS):
A one-stop factory that automatically generates every piece of collateral needed to promote a podcast episode. The user simply uploads the audio or video file; AI produces all marketing materials in one go.

MVP Core Features:

• File upload: Accept audio (MP3) or video (MP4).
• AI processing pipeline: The system performs the following steps automatically:
  1. High-accuracy transcription — full transcript with timestamps (SRT/TXT).
  2. Content summaries — show notes in several lengths for podcast platforms and newsletters.
  3. Highlight detection — AI identifies 3-5 of the most compelling 30-60 second clips that are likely to go viral.
  4. Audiogram / video clip generation — converts those highlights into square or vertical videos with dynamic captions and brand logo.
  5. Blog-post rewriting — restructures the episode into a well-formatted blog article.
  6. Quote extraction — pulls 10-15 tweetable quotes for social sharing.
• One-click download: Bundle all generated assets (text, video, images) into a zip for download.

Development Effort (Tech Implementation): High. This is a composite app that must chain multiple AI capabilities into a smooth workflow.

• Commercial API calls:
  • Transcription: OpenAI Whisper API or Deepgram API for high-accuracy speech-to-text.
  • Summaries / rewriting / quote extraction: OpenAI GPT-4 Turbo or Anthropic Claude 3 Opus for strong natural-language understanding and generation.
  • Video generation: Use Remotion or FFmpeg (via scripted control) to compose audiograms. Highlight detection first relies on the LLM to analyse the transcript and locate "golden" moments, then FFmpeg clips those time ranges.
• Hugging Face open-source models:
  • Transcription: Self-host the open-source Whisper model if desired.
  • Summarisation: Options like meta-llama/Llama-3-70B-Instruct or mistralai/Mixtral-8x7B-Instruct-v0.1 could be explored.

Traffic Acquisition & Validation Strategy (SEO Enhanced):

• Step 1 – Market Validation (Validation)
  • Landing page "Upload One Episode, Receive a Week of Content": Headline: "Turn One Podcast into 20 Pieces of Content. AI-Powered Repurposing for Podcasters."
  • Proactive outreach: Pick 10–20 podcasts you like, generate a full asset bundle for one of their episodes for free, and email it to them—instant proof of value.
  • Product Hunt launch: Position as "the ultimate efficiency tool for podcast hosts" to gather early users and feedback.
• Step 2 – SEO-Driven Growth (Traffic Acquisition)
