How To Build An Automated AI Podcast System #ai #aiforbusiness #chatgpt #aiautomation #gpt4o #make

So I recently came across this podcast from Perplexity. For those of you who don't know, Perplexity is an AI search engine, sort of like Google plus Chatterpotty in one tool. Anyways, I came across their daily podcast where they cover AI news, tech, that sort of stuff. And after I went to their website, I realized that this is AI generated. So they're using 11Labs, which is a text-to-voice tool where you can sort of type in text and turn it into voice recording. So if you give this a listen, it's actually pretty good. I'm your host, Alex. And in today's episode, we'll explore a groundbreaking AI video generator. So it's pretty good, right? They've obviously done a bit of editing to add the background music and all that sort of stuff. But once I listened to this, my immediate thought was, how do you automate this? Because this is a daily podcast. And if you've watched my previous videos, we've automated things like daily newsletters, daily blogs, things where you pull in the latest news, use a model like GPT-4.0 to turn it into a summary, a daily briefing, and then publish it. So the difference here is instead of publishing it as a newsletter or a blog, you want to sort of turn it into a voice recording and publish it as a podcast. So my immediate thought was how you do that. And as per usual, the tools I used were make.com, which is our workflow automation tool. And I used OpenAI. So I'm using OpenAI for GPT-4.0, but I'm also using it for their text-to-speech model. You could use 11Labs, DeepGram, all that sort of stuff. But just to keep the build simple, I'm using OpenAI. So we're just using one provider for all of our different steps. In terms of how you do this, an end-to-end build would be a lot more complicated than this. An end-to-end build would need to incorporate pulling in the relevant data for your episodes every day. So if you've watched my previous videos, you'll need to incorporate some of those principles. And then after generating the podcast, you'll probably need automated publishing to your podcast distribution network, social posts to promote your podcast, all that sort of stuff. But for this video, we're just going to focus on how you actually generate the voice recording for your podcast. So it's actually quite simple. So what I've done here, I've just done, I guess, a test. So I've just generated a test example podcast. So you can see here, I've just written a random intro. Welcome to AI Insights. And what I'm using here is the generate an audio module in make.com. So you put in your input here. I'm just using TTS1, which is their text-to-speech one model. And I've just kept everything else default. You can choose the voice if you want as well. And then what I've done here is because the output of this module is like this, you can't actually listen to it in make.com. I've saved it to a file system. So I've saved it to Google Drive. So once I've run this, it sort of saves to my audio folder. And if I just click into this and give this a listen. Welcome to AI Insights, the podcast where we delve into the evolving world of artificial intelligence and its transformation. So it's pretty good, right? Unfortunately, within make.com, there's no easy way to add intro music. So there's two options available to you. So one is you hire someone, or if you have the capability in-house, write a script to add your intro music, background music, all that sort of stuff. Otherwise, you can just hire a assistant or someone off Upwork. And every day, just tell them to go into that Google Drive folder and do a quick edit at the intro music, all that sort of stuff, and publish it. So really up to you. But even this step saves so much time, right? You don't need someone to manually go through the AI News and then record a podcast. That's already so much time saved, even without the editing step automated as well. But as I mentioned before, this is just one step in a broader sort of content automation workflow. So I would definitely recommend, if you're building this, to combine this with some of my previous videos, mix and match a bit to come up with a full automation. But that's it for this video.
