Managing Sources

Adding Sources

Sources attached in the Podcast Agent chat are episode-specific: they are included in the context for that episode only. Podcast-level sources are managed from the podcast settings page and are automatically included in every episode's context.

You can also reuse sources you've already uploaded by picking them from the Source Library, no need to re-upload the same file or URL.

See What Are Sources? and Podcast vs. Episode Sources for more on the difference.

Processing Status

After adding a source, Jellypod extracts and indexes the content before it is available to the AI. A source can be in one of three states:

• Processing: The source is being extracted. This normally finishes within minutes. Wait for it to complete before generating content.
• Ready: The source is indexed and included in the AI context.
• Error: The source failed to extract. Common causes are a URL behind a paywall, an unsupported file format, a PDF over the 100-page limit, or a YouTube video with no available transcript. If extraction stalls for more than 15 minutes, Jellypod marks the source as errored automatically so it doesn't sit in Processing indefinitely. Hover the errored source pill to see the specific reason, or try a different URL or paste the text directly.

Removing Sources

Click the x next to any episode source in the chat to remove it. To remove podcast-level sources, go to the podcast settings page. Podcast-level sources cannot be removed from the chat view.

Refreshing a Source

There is no in-place refresh. If a source's content has changed, remove the old source and add the URL again. This creates a new source from the latest version (it does not update the existing one).
