Generating Episode Audio

Overview

Once the Podcast Agent finishes writing your script, it generates audio for every speech block automatically. Each line assigned to a host becomes its own audio segment, produced with that host's voice, pacing, and personality. Script writing and audio generation happen together in one step.

Credits are only consumed when you publish or download the episode.

How Audio Generation Works

When the Podcast Agent creates your episode, it writes the script and generates audio in a single pass:

1. The agent finishes writing the script.
2. Audio generation begins automatically. While it runs, the script area shows Loading script... and a Generating audio... toast appears.
3. When generation completes, the script appears and a toast reads Audio generated successfully (a single segment) or Audio generated for all segments. when generating audio for the whole episode at once.

Each speech block in the script now corresponds to an audio segment on the timeline. Press play to hear your episode.

You can also trigger audio generation manually from the chat panel if you've made edits and want to regenerate.

When Credits Are Used

Credits are consumed at the point of final output:

• Publishing: 60 credits per minute when publishing to your RSS feed, Spotify, Apple Podcasts, or other platforms.
• Downloading: 60 credits per minute when downloading audio (MP3) or video (MP4) files.

You can generate, listen, edit, and regenerate as many times as you want before then. Credits are deducted only when you publish or export.

If you do not have enough credits to publish or download, an upgrade dialog appears. You can upgrade your plan or purchase additional credits at any time.

Limitations

• You cannot generate audio for a published episode. Unpublish first if you need to regenerate.
• Episodes have a maximum duration limit based on your plan. If the estimated duration exceeds this limit, generation is blocked with an error message.
