Examples

Example 1: Planning an Episode

A client runs a B2B podcast for procurement leaders, and the account manager wants a plan before the recording.

Step 1: Create the episode. On the Podcast page, the account manager chooses New Episode. Episode Topic: "building supplier resilience after a disruption." They enter a guest name, add a one-line background (a supply chain executive at a mid-size manufacturer), and set the audience to procurement directors. Run the Planner Now is on, and they choose Create Episode.

Step 2: Read the plan. The episode opens with a plan: six segments with working titles, intents, and approximate minutes, followed by talking points, a call to action, and a rationale.

Segment 2: The 48-hour audit. How the guest's team stress-tested every first-tier supplier in two days. Call to action: Download the supplier audit template.

Step 3: Adjust. The first plan spends too long on background. The account manager chooses Regenerate Plan for a fresh version and compares the two, then keeps the segments they prefer in their own notes for the host.

Step 4: Hand off. The account manager shares the final plan with the team before the session.

Example 2: From Recording to Show Notes

The client recorded a 38-minute interview.

Step 1: Attach audio. On the episode, under Audio, the content team enters the Local Path of the file and chooses Attach Audio.

Step 2: Transcribe. They choose Transcribe. When it is done, they open View Transcript and check that both speakers are labelled.

Step 3: Clips. They choose Suggest Clips and get five windows. Each shows a start and end time, a hook, the best quote, who said it, and a suggested caption.

Step 4: Show notes. They choose Write Show Notes. The summary, chapters, quotes, and captions appear, and if Slack is set up, the card appears in the channel. The summary undersells the guest, so they edit it directly in the app and leave the rest.

Step 5: Approve and publish. They choose Approve. After the episode goes live on the client's podcast host, they return, enter the Public Episode URL and the RSS Feed URL, and choose Publish. The episode moves to Recently Published.

Example 3: Turning a Clip Into a Social Draft

Step 1: Pick a clip. In Suggested Clips, the team likes the second window, a contrarian line about supplier scorecards.

Step 2: Extract. They choose Extract Audio. The clip is cut from the local audio file and marked Extracted.

Step 3: Promote. They choose Promote to Social. A draft appears in Marketing Social, seeded from the clip's suggested caption.

Step 4: Approve there. The draft follows Marketing Social's own review and approval before anything is posted. Promoting did not post anything.

Example 4: A Failed Transcript

Step 1: The failure. Transcribe reports that it failed.

Step 2: Check the audio. On the episode, the team looks at what was attached. The remote address they entered no longer works.

Step 3: Fix and retry. They enter a working address under Remote URL, choose Attach Audio, and choose Transcribe again.
