After years of speculation about whether AI hype was justified, most marketers and entrepreneurs have now accepted that AI-enabled technologies are actual.
AI will have a profound impact on our lives and work.
Podcasting is not an exception.
While AI presents many challenges for content creators and marketers, it also offers fantastic benefits.
These benefits are centered around how AI can make our lives easier in terms of creating, repurposing, and marketing our shows to reach our ideal audience, which is ultimately our clients and customers.
In this article, we will look at five AI podcasting tools you can use today to produce a better show, reach more people and spend less time and money.
AI-Generated podcast show notes
Writing show notes for every episode of your podcast is probably one of the least enjoyable parts of production.
Many AI writing assistants, such as Capsho, have been developed to take away this tedious and time-consuming task.
Capsho can automatically create show notes for your episode, suggest a title, and create a transcription. It will also pull out quotes and generate social captions.
You’ll need to tweak the AI-generated content manually, but for most hosts, Capsho or other similar tools, such as Swell and Podcast Marketing.ai, will get you 90% there.
AI-Generated podcast promotional assets
Repurposing your show into a short-form video is one of the best ways of increasing awareness.
AI can save you the pain of manually searching through episodes to find the perfect clip.
Viddyo can be used if you already have video footage for your podcast. It will automatically identify, extracts, and caption compelling clips in any video you upload.
The video has many customizable templates and a feature that automatically switches between speakers. This helps keep viewers interested in longer videos.
You don’t need to worry if you do not record videos for your podcast.
Dubb creates unique videos by combining your audio files with AI-generated background animations and transcripts.
AI Podcast Post-Production
We’ve already explored AI tools that can help you repurpose finished episode recordings. Some tools make it easier to create a quality show.
Descript is the oldest and most popular editor. Its features include AI-generated transcription creation, audio cleaning, automatic filler words removal, etc.
Descript is a powerful tool, but it’s not the only one.
Adobe Podcast is the newest and most exciting tool.
Adobe’s Enhance speech, which is currently in beta, transforms any recording (literally) into a finished product of NPR quality.
Enhance Speech is a tool that helps lower the entry barrier for recording equipment, software, and technical knowledge. This means less friction between you and your audience.
AI Voice Generation
AI voice generation is one of the most interesting applications of AI in podcasting.
You might be a blogger who’d love to convert your blog posts into a podcast episode but lacks the time.
No problem
With Listnr, you can upload your text and choose your voice. There are currently over 70 languages with accent variations in each language.
Say you want to personalize the experience.
Descript’s Overdub feature includes post-production tools and editing tools. It also allows you to train an AI voice model using your voice.
After the model is trained, Overdub can be used to generate custom audio content by using text. This includes typing a word to replace one you accidentally spelled during recording.
AI Video Alteration
The last entry on the list may not apply to all podcasters, but I think it is one of the most innovative AI tools I have seen, especially if your podcast includes video.
Eye contact with the camera has to be one of the most crucial factors in production.
Eye contact is a great way to create a personal and intimate experience for viewers of solo videos. This connection can also be extended to your guests, resulting in better interviews and an improved experience for you and your audience.
You can’t watch the guest’s video and the Zoom call simultaneously.
Most serious video podcasters, and even YouTubers, eventually invest in expensive, bulky teleprompters to solve this problem.
Teleprompters may soon be obsolete with NVIDIA’s Eye Contact tool, part of their broadcast app.
This tool seamlessly edits your video feed while taking notes, reading a script, or even reading it.
It’s a bit mind-blowing.
Unfortunately, at the moment, Broadcast only works on Windows. However, I’m sure we’ll see more tools of this nature for other operating systems in no time.
How will AI impact your production workflow
AI is a hot topic, with many small businesses, marketers, and creators adopting new tools to gain an edge over their competition.
Some kinks still need to be worked out, but it’s evident that AI-enabled software is a viable option to create better content more quickly and cheaper than just a few years ago.
This will make you as excited as I am.
We can now spend more time doing the creative and innovative work we are best at, rather than the mundane admin tasks that don’t use our talents or perspective.
