What Are Sources?
Sources give the Content Agent context to work with. The better your sources, the better your content.
Overview#
Sources are files, links, and text you provide as reference material for Jellypod's AI. The Content Agent reads your sources when writing episodes, documents, and blog posts, using them to stay accurate, on-topic, and grounded in real content.
Think of sources as the research your hosts and writer use to prepare. An article, a company overview, a YouTube interview, a PDF report: anything you want the AI to draw from.
The quality of your sources directly impacts the quality of your output. Two or three focused, relevant sources produce better results than ten vague ones. Good sources give the AI accuracy (real facts and data to reference), depth (enough detail to go beyond surface-level discussion), and direction (a clear sense of what to cover).
Sources are entirely optional. The Content Agent can research topics on its own using Web Search. Sources give you more control over what gets discussed.
How Sources Work#
- Add sources to your podcast, episode, or conversation using the + button next to the chat input.
- Jellypod extracts and processes the content from each source.
- The Content Agent references your sources when writing the script, document, or image prompt.
Sources can be attached at the podcast level (available for every episode in a series), at the episode level (specific to one conversation), or to individual hosts to shape how they write and speak.
Frequently Asked Questions#
Are sources required to create an episode?
No. Sources are entirely optional. The Content Agent can research topics on its own using web search. However, providing sources gives you more control over what your hosts discuss and improves accuracy.
How many sources should I add per episode?
Quality matters more than quantity. Two or three focused, relevant sources will produce better results than ten vague ones. Add sources that are directly related to the specific topic of your episode.
