AI Podcast Show Notes & Summary Generator

    Inspiration: Podcasters invest heavily in content creation but struggle with "content repurposing." "Podcast show notes" is a common outsourcing service.

    Target Customers: Independent podcast creators, corporate internal podcast teams, content marketing managers.

    Pain Points: After each podcast recording, significant time is needed to listen to recordings, organize key points, write summaries (Show Notes), extract highlight quotes, and create social media promotional posts. This process is repetitive, tedious, and time-consuming.

    Solution (Micro-SaaS): An automated podcast post-production tool. Users upload podcast audio files, and AI automatically completes transcription and generates a complete set of ready-to-use content assets.

    MVP Core Features:

    • Audio Upload: Support common audio formats like MP3, WAV.
    • AI Transcription: Automatically convert audio to timestamped transcripts.
    • Summary Generation (Show Notes): AI reads transcripts and generates engaging podcast content summaries.
    • Key Takeaways Extraction: Automatically distill 3-5 key discussion points.

    • Social Media Posts: Auto-generate promotional post drafts for Twitter, LinkedIn, Instagram for this podcast episode.
    • One-Click Copy/Download: All generated content can be easily copied or downloaded as documents.

    Development Investment (Technical Implementation): Medium. Core is speech-to-text (ASR) and LLM text summarization capabilities.

    • LLM API Calls:
      • Speech Transcription: OpenAI Whisper API is currently the market leader with high accuracy. AssemblyAI is another professional alternative.
      • Content Processing: Send transcripts to GPT-4 Turbo or Claude 3 Sonnet with carefully designed prompts instructing format requirements (Show Notes, Key Takeaways, etc.) for structured output.
    • Hugging Face Open Source Models:
      • Speech Transcription: openai/whisper-large-v3 is a deployable open-source option.
      • Content Processing: meta-llama/Llama-3-8B-Instruct is powerful enough for structured text tasks.
