Product updates

Podcasting thrives on good storytelling, topic discovery, and knowledge sharing. And, oftentimes, the most interesting information is timely, and requires up-to-date, live context for the content to be valubale.

However, AI faces a critical limitation: it relies on data in their training, constrained by the cutoff dates and static resources. This is why Jellypod encourages users to upload sources (PDFs, websites, etc.) to ground your podcast in content that may not be perfectly represented in the model.

So, to help accelerate this type of live, content aggregation, we're excited to announce Web Search, a new feature in Jellypod designed specifically to pull in current information from the internet as a podcast source.

Why Websearch?

Imagine you're covering your favorite sports team, and a crucial game has just ended: your podcast wouldn't have access to the latest score or highlights. Until now, getting timely, real-world information into your episodes required manually finding and uploading specific sources.

WebSearch Transforms Podcast Creation

By enabling Web Search, you can simply type a natural-language query during the podcast creation process. Jellypod then searches the internet and fetches the most relevant, real-time information (with citations), adding it as a source to your episode.

Then, you can review the content and it's sources, ensuring the content is accurate.

This means:

• Real-Time Accuracy: Immediately access live updates, such as breaking news, sport scores, or rapidly changing market trends.
• Dynamic Content Creation: Effortlessly bring fresh perspectives and current insights into every episode, enhancing your podcast's relevance.
• Full Control and Confidence: Review the sourced information and citations before publishing, ensuring every episode remains credible, accurate, and authoritative.

Web Search lets you create more informed, engaging content without doing research outside of Jellypod's studio, so you can put a well-sourced episode together quickly and confidently.

Starting today, all users can experience the power of real-time information integrated directly into your podcasting workflow. Try Web Search in Jellypod today and redefine what's possible with your AI-powered podcast.

Podcasting is one of the most powerful mediums for sharing ideas, sparking meaningful conversations, and exploring new topics. Whether you’re listening in your car, while working out, or even sitting on your couch, podcasts let us dive into stories and conversations that have been traditionally underrepresented.

However, the way we consume podcasts is evolving.

Visual storytelling is increasingly becoming a significant part of the podcasting landscape. Platforms like YouTube have transformed how we experience podcasts, blending audio with video to captivate broader audiences.

So, due to overwhelming demand, we're announcing the introduction of Video Audiograms to kick off Jellypod’s very first Launch Week.

Creating Audiograms

Now, when you create your episode on Jellypod, we’ll automatically generate an audiogram video without needing another platform or service. All users, both paid and free, can share this video via downloads or on your podcast's custom website.

We believe things should be exceptional by default, with customization as an optional afterthought. We want our users to go, “Wow, that’s better than I would have done it” the first time around, opting into our design opinions versus spending time creating your own.

Video Templates

Our first video template that is live today showcases your podcast’s title, description, and waveform in an optimized layout, with zero design necessary. Your video's background color is extracted from your episode’s cover art, and modifications to your title and description are instantly reflected in your video preview.

Every detail—from text placement to color harmony—is perfectly handled by Jellypod, so you can focus solely on content creation and telling your story.

Amplifying Human Storytelling

We’re committed to being the best platform to turn the story in your head into a reality. From ideation, creation, and distribution, Jellypod provides everything you need to get your first podcast in front of millions of listeners worldwide, in under 20 minutes.

Today's release of audiograms marks just the beginning of a robust future for AI podcasting and creators everywhere. Try it out today!

How It Works

Create or edit a podcast.

Choose the links you want to add (URL, Email, Discord, X, YouTube, LinkedIn… you name it!).

Hit Save—and watch your links appear on your site.

That’s it! Your audience can now find you on the platforms you love, all from one convenient location.

Names are important, whether they belong to a global celebrity, a technical acronym, or a uniquely spelled product.

Starting today, our new Pronunciation Guide ensures every name is heard exactly as it should be, from Portuguese words like "João" to beloved "bologna" (pronounced the American way as "baloni").

Why the Pronunciation Guide Matters

• Handles All Cases: Names, acronyms, and abbreviations often have tricky or unexpected pronunciations. Our guide ensures you and your co-hosts always get it right.
• Multi-Language Support: Provide phonetic spellings using any supported language. If a sound only exists in another language, write it in that language, and Jellypod will take care of the rest.
• Easy to Share: Guests and listeners alike will appreciate the clarity. No more confusion, no more mispronunciations.

How to Use the Pronunciation Guide

Access via the Left Sidebar

Find the Pronunciation Guide under Hosts & Podcasts on the left sidebar. Add entries for all the unique names, acronyms, or words you want to pronounce properly.

Edit in the Transcript Editor

When you're editing an episode transcript, use the Pronunciation Guide to add in new terms that come up.

Phonetic or Audio Entries

• Write a clear phonetic spelling (e.g. "bologna" spelled as "baloni").
• If there's a special sound that doesn't exist in English, spell it in the relevant language (e.g., "Joao" spelled as "João"). Jellypod will swap that in for your transcript and any reference text.

Perfecting pronunciations, made simple

No matter how big the name or how obscure the abbreviation, Jellypod's Pronunciation Guide makes sure your AI podcast says it right every time. It's one more detail Jellypod handles so you don't have to.

Every podcast deserves a home. And now, every podcast on Jellypod gets one — instantly.

Starting today, when you create a podcast on Jellypod, you’ll automatically get a dedicated website with its own custom subdomain. No setup, no hassle—just a beautifully designed, SEO-optimized page that makes it easier than ever to share your podcast with the world.

We're now hooked into YouTube and Apple Podcasts! In addition to Spotify, Jellypod now supports podcast distribution to all major podcast platforms, including Youtube, Apple Podcasts, Pocket Casts, and more.

While platforms like Spotify and Apple Podcasts have long been podcasting staples, YouTube has become an emerging hub for podcast consumption. Whether you’re catering to traditional audio listeners or video enthusiasts, Jellypod makes it easy to reach everyone. Although Jellypod only supports mp3 (audio) podcasts on YouTube, they're still discoverable just like any other media on the site. We're exploring videos (so stay tuned)!

How To Get Set Up

Just go to your podcast page, click on "Distribution Options" and follow the instructions on screen. We'll automatically update your feeds with new episodes as they're published.

Spotify's own AI podcast app works differently: Spotify Studio makes private episodes for your library and does not publish them to a feed.

Wondering if an AI-narrated episode needs a disclosure label on YouTube? Here's what YouTube's policy actually requires.

Jellypod now supports creating podcasts in 121 languages, including Spanish, French, Hindi, and many others. This addition marks an incredible step forward for our platform, allowing anyone to become a global content creator independent of the language barriers.

Although English is the most widely spoken language in the world, we know that our users want to create content for their audiences, wherever they may be. With Jellypod, you can now craft podcasts that reasonate deeply, whether you're targeting German-speaking travelers, Chinese entrepreneurs, or Italian soccer fans.

Our multilingual capabilities don't just translate your script from English; it's writing your podcast natively in your chosen language, using idiomatic phrases and expressions specific to that language. This key feature helps to improve conten accessbiity and engagement, strengthing connections to your listeners wordlwide.

To get started, create a new podcast and select a language from the dropdown window.

The language dropdown lists every one we support, from English, Spanish, French, and Hindi through to Swahili, Vietnamese, and Welsh. See using accents and languages for how a voice and a language combine.

This is what AI podcasts make possible that a recorded voice never could: the same source material, written and produced natively in dozens of languages, without re-recording anything. The same mechanic applies outside marketing too: see patient education handouts for how a single discharge summary becomes a native-language audio episode for a multilingual patient population.

Language is one axis. Accent is the other: the AI voice library has an accent generator for British, Australian, and more.

About Jellypod

Jellypod is an AI podcast studio that helps users create, edit, and publish AI podcasts. With a beginner-friendly, AI-assisted workflow, Jellypod amplifies human storytelling by transforming untapped ideas into engaging audio content.

Starting today, creating podcast episodes with plain text sources is easier than ever. You can now copy and paste (or type) text directly into your episode creation flow—no need to create and upload text files.

In addition, this enables a more free-form approach to podcast creation. Instead of requiring traditional source material, you can simply type what you want your podcast to be about.

For example, if you want an episode about the Apollo space missions, you could type something like "A podcast that details the journey of the Apollo missions, from an astronaut's perspective".

This flexibility empowers creators to quickly capture their ideas and turn them into episodes without the need for additional source files or external links.

Happy podcasting!
