AI show notes for independent podcasters

Your show notes, in your voice.

One episode in, eight pieces of writing out: show notes, chapters, titles, a blog post, a newsletter, LinkedIn, an X thread and pull quotes. Published to Buzzsprout or Transistor. Flat price per episode. Nothing expires.

No card needed · Text only, no video clipping · Up to 3 hours per episode

Eight outputs per episode

Everything you write after you hit publish.

Each output has its own spec, its own editor and its own regenerate button. Copy it, export it, or send it to your host.

  • Your format

    Show notes

    Your recurring sections in your order, a links section and a guest bio when there's a guest.

  • 5–15 per hour

    Chapters

    Timestamped chapters, exported for Buzzsprout, YouTube, Podcasting 2.0 or plain text.

  • 5 options

    Titles

    Five episode titles, each 60 characters or fewer, so nothing gets cut off in a podcast app.

  • 800–1,500 words

    Blog post

    A real article with H2 sections, an SEO title and a meta description, built from what was said.

  • Subject lines + body

    Newsletter

    A few subject lines to choose from and an email that reads like you wrote it to your list.

  • ≤ 1,300 characters

    LinkedIn post

    A post that leads with a hook in the first line, so it survives the “see more” fold.

  • 5–8 posts

    X thread

    A thread that walks through the episode's best idea, one post at a time.

  • 5 verbatim quotes

    Pull quotes

    Exact words with speaker and timestamp. Anything that doesn't match the transcript is dropped.

How it works

From RSS feed to published show notes in four steps.

Set up once in under ten minutes. After that, turn on auto-processing and new episodes are written up as they land in your feed.

  1. 01

    Paste your RSS feed

    We pull your episodes and their descriptions. Or upload an audio file or paste a link: mp3, m4a or wav, up to 3 hours.

  2. 02

    We learn your voice

    Your last three show notes become a voice profile: structure, length, tone, recurring sections and sign-off. You can read it and change it in plain English.

  3. 03

    Eight outputs in minutes

    Transcription with speaker labels and your dictionary of names, then every output written in parallel. We email you when it's ready.

  4. 04

    Publish to your host

    Push show notes and chapters straight to the episode on Buzzsprout or Transistor. On another host? Copy Markdown, HTML or plain text, or download everything as a zip.

Sounds like you

Not “In this episode, we dive deep…”

Generic AI show notes all sound the same. Afterair reads your past show notes first, then writes the way you already do: your sections, your length, your sign-off.

Written from your voice profileAfter

Maya raised her prices three times in one year and lost exactly two customers. We get into why that was the right trade, the email she sent before each increase, and the one plan she'd never discount again.

The voice profile behind it

  • Opens with the guest's first name and one concrete fact
  • Short paragraphs, no exclamation marks
  • Sections: In this episode, then Links mentioned
  • Signs off “Talk soon,” with the host's name

Illustrative example. The guest, host and episode are made up.

Less editing

Built so fixing it doesn't take as long as writing it.

  • Names spelled right, everywhere

    Add guest names, brands and jargon to your show dictionary once. They're used as transcription hints and corrected in every output.

  • Quotes that were actually said

    Every pull quote is string-matched against the transcript. If it isn't verbatim, it doesn't ship. No paraphrases in quote marks.

  • Regenerate one section, not everything

    Make the newsletter shorter, the LinkedIn post more casual, or rewrite just the titles. Every version is kept, so you can go back.

  • Fix the transcript, fix the outputs

    Correct a misheard word or name a speaker once, and regenerated outputs use your edit.

Fair billing

You pay for episodes. Not minutes, not surprises.

Per-minute billing charges you more for longer conversations and the same for a bad upload as a good one. We charge one flat credit per episode and give it back if anything goes wrong.

  • Per episode, never per minute

    A 30-minute episode and a 90-minute episode cost the same: one credit. Anything up to 3 hours.

  • Credits never expire

    Pay-as-you-go credits stay until you use them. Unused monthly episodes roll over instead of disappearing.

  • Failed jobs are refunded automatically

    If an episode can't be processed, the credit goes straight back. You see the reason and a retry button.

  • Pause or cancel in one click

    Pausing keeps your shows, voice profiles and history and stops billing. Cancelling is a button in the app, not an email thread.

FAQ

Questions podcasters ask first.

Does it make video clips or edit audio?
No. Afterair is text only: show notes, chapters, titles, a blog post, a newsletter, a LinkedIn post, an X thread and pull quotes. We don't clip video, make audiograms or clean up audio.
How is an episode billed?
One episode is one credit, whatever its length, up to 3 hours. Pay as you go is $9 per episode, or pick a monthly plan. Re-generating sections and editing the transcript afterwards is included.
What happens if processing fails?
The credit is refunded automatically, you see what went wrong in plain words, and you can retry with one click. A failed job never costs you anything.
Do my credits expire?
No. Pay-as-you-go credits never expire, and unused episodes on a monthly plan roll over to the next month.
How does it learn my voice?
From three of your past show notes. Paste them in, or we read the last three descriptions from your RSS feed. We turn them into a short voice profile you can read and edit, and every output follows it by default. No prompt writing.
Which podcast hosts does it work with?
Pro and Agency plans publish show notes and chapters directly to Buzzsprout and Transistor (Transistor's API can't set chapter markers, so chapters go into the description as timestamps). For any other host, copy the output as Markdown, HTML or plain text, and download chapters in YouTube, Podcasting 2.0 or plain-text format. Captivate is next on the list.
What happens to my audio?
Audio is stored privately and deleted 30 days after processing by default; you can change that in settings. Transcripts and outputs stay until you delete them. Details are in the privacy policy.
Can I run several shows?
Yes. Pro covers two shows and Agency covers unlimited shows, each with its own voice profile and dictionary.
