Product Updates

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.

Find it on the Automations page in the sidebar.

You can now add audio to any episode without leaving the transcript.

Drag a file from your desktop to insert in between transcript blocks. Or type /external audio in any empty speak block to open the Insert Audio dialog — record a new clip with your mic or upload a file. Either way, the clip becomes an inline block you can play right inside the transcript.

Use it for an intro you recorded yourself, a guest's voice memo, an interview snippet etc. You can even have a conversation with one of your hosts!

You can now programmatically create podcasts via our public API.

The Jellypod API enables clients to create AI hosts, upload sources, and generate full podcast episodes from a single prompt. Clients can browse all of our 100+ voices across 30+ languages, build hosts with custom backstories, attach URLs, PDFs, or YouTube videos as research context, and generate episodes asynchronously with a single request.

For teams building content pipelines or integrations, the podcast-series generation endpoint creates an entire podcast with multiple episodes (titles, scripts, and audio) in a single call.

Using the Jellypod API uses credits equivalent to the UI (reference). You can also give your AI assistant the ability to generate podcasts by installing our Jellypod skill here.

Full documentation and an interactive reference are available at https://www.jellypod.com/docs/api.

You can now view and redownload all previous renders from your account settings.

The new Exports tab in your account Settings enables you to browse every render you’ve ever created. Each entry shows the title, type, date, and credit cost at a glance.

Need to grab a file again? Download the video, audio, or captions from any past render without spending additional credits. You’re only charged once, when the render is created. Re-downloads are always free.

You can now create an entire multi-episode podcast from a single source or prompt.

Describe your series idea, add a source, and Jellypod builds the full podcast for you, including the series title, description, cover art, and up to eight episode outlines, all planned with a cohesive narrative arc. Once the series is set, generate each episode's script and audio one, editing and refining as you go.

To get started with Magic Podcast, select “Create a Multi-Episode Podcast Series” from the Studio dashboard or click the Magic Podcast button on your Podcasts page.

Sometimes you want to go fast. Turbo Mode lets you skip outline approval and jump straight to podcast episode generation.

When enabled, Jellypod makes reasonable assumptions based on your sources, builds the outline behind the scenes, and starts generating your podcast episode immediately. No clarification questions, no back-and-forth, and no required approvals.

Off by default, Turbo Mode can be enabled by clicking on the settings button (gear) when creating a new episode. Turn it on when speed matters, turn it off when you want more control.

Every source you upload to Jellypod now lives in a single place - the Source Library.

The Source Library gives you a searchable, central view of every file, URL, and file source you’ve ever used to create something in Jellypod. It could be a Youtube video, website, or pdf; they’re all saved in your source library ready for reuse.

When you're creating something new, you can now "Pick from Source Library" to pull in sources you've already uploaded; no need to re-upload or hunt through old documents on your desktop.

You can also manage your sources directly from the library. See processing status at a glance, download originals, or clean up sources you no longer need. It's a small change that makes working with recurring research, interviews, and reference material feel effortless.

Your AI hosts can now laugh, sigh, whisper, pause, and react.

Now, with audio prompting, you can direct how each line in your script is spoken or add additional, non-verbal sound effects and reactions. Type / inside any speak block in the script editor to open a dropdown of preset cues, or type something custom.

Audio tags are organized into three main categories:

1. Reactions like [laughs], [sighs], and [gasps]
2. Emotions like [excited], [nervous], and [sarcastic]
3. Delivery cues like [whispers], [pauses], and [dramatic].

For example, writing "I can't believe it [gasps] that's incredible! [excited]" will produce a line with a sharp intake of breath followed by an energetic, upbeat delivery. Each tag appears in inline in your script so you can see exactly how a line will play before you generate.

Generated scripts will now also occasionally include audio tags to improve the naturalness of your podcasts and conversations.

Audio prompting only affects what your listeners hear, keeping your captions, transcripts, and visual assets clean.

After you finish setting up third-party distribution, you can now add links to your podcast on those streaming platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, YouTube, Amazon Music, and Overcast.

Head to your podcast dashboard, connect your platform URLs, and they will automatically appear in the "Listen" section of your Jellypod-hosted podcast website.

Your listeners no longer have to hunt for your show on their preferred app. Every connected platform shows up as a clear, clickable badge on your podcast site, making it effortless for your audience to subscribe wherever they already listen.

Jellypod can now create written documents alongside your podcasts and images.

Describe what you want to write in the chat, attach your sources for context, and the docs agent will draft it in a live editor right next to the conversation. Edit inline or keep chatting to refine the output.

Jellypod actually writes well - asking you clarifying questions, searching the internet, and iteratively improves on its output so you’re not generating slop.

Use it for show notes, blog posts, research summaries, or any long-form content that benefits from your existing source material. When you're done, export or download as Markdown or plain-text.
