You write the prompt once. Jellypod takes it from there.
Automations let you put any podcast on a recurring schedule — daily or weekly — and have a fresh episode generated on its own. Each run kicks off an agent that researches the topic, outlines the script, generates the audio, and either drops it in your drafts for review or publishes straight to your feed.
It's the same pipeline that powers chat-based generation, just running for you on a clock.
What you configure
- Prompt — what each episode should cover. e.g. "Cover the most important AI product launches and research from the past day."
- Podcast — which show the episode posts to. Hosts and voices are inherited automatically.
- Schedule — daily or weekly, the days of the week, time of day, and timezone. A live preview shows the next three runs.
- Episode length — pick a duration preset.
- Web Search — on by default, so the agent can pull current information before writing.
- Auto-Publish — off by default. Runs save as drafts you can review, edit, and publish. Flip it on to ship every episode automatically.
What happens on every run
When the scheduled time hits, Jellypod spins up the episode in the background. You get an email when the draft is ready (or, with Auto-Publish on, when it's live). If a run fails, we email you with the reason and try again on the next tick. After three consecutive failures, we auto-pause the schedule so it doesn't burn credits silently — same if your account runs out of credits.
You can pause, resume, edit the prompt, or change the schedule any time from the Automations page in the sidebar.
Why we built it
Most podcasters who run a daily or weekly show are doing the same setup work over and over: open the app, paste the same prompt, generate, publish. Automations collapse that into a one-time setup. It's especially useful for news shows, recap formats, and any series where the topic is consistent but the content changes daily.
