Product updates

As of today, we've rolled out improvements that decrease the number of credits consumed when regenerating audio.

It was frustrating to know that even if you make a small edit to one of your chapters, the entire episode had to be regenerated. Now, Jellypod only regenerates audio for modified sections, minimizing credit consumption while preserving conservation realism and context awareness.

Faster Audio Generation

Audio generation times have improved by an average of 66%! This means you can spend less time waiting around and more time on creating content. Whether you’re generating an entire episode or fine-tuning a specific chapter, you’ll now enjoy a more seamless and rapid experience.

Smarter Regenerations

Regenerating audio is now smarter and more cost-effective. Instead of regenerating the entire episode, Jellypod only updates chapters that have been edited since your last generation. This saves you valuable credits, giving you more flexibility to experiment and create with fewer limits.

Note: Regeneration caching occurs at a chapter-level to maintain audio consistency and "naturalness".

Key Benefits:

• Faster Workflow: Spend less time waiting for audio generation and more time polishing your episodes.
• Credit Efficiency: Save credits by only regenerating chapters that have changed, allowing you to create more.

Now all plans are able to create more with less! Ready to try it out? Experience the faster creation process today.

Website links are great, but uploading your own files is even better. Starting today, all Jellypod users can upload files to create their next podcast episode.

Upload PDFs, TXT, and more

Jellypod now supports uploading over 50+ unique file types, including:

• PDF
• Powerpoint
• Word
• Images
• Excel
• And more (HTML, EPUB, etc.)

Our state-of-the-art document parsing system accurately extracts your file's content into a ready-to-go source for your next podcast. Whether you're dealing with academic papers, financial reports, or plain text files, we can handle it.

Example Use Cases

• Academic Insights: Transform research papers (including LaTeX formulas) into digestible podcast summaries.
• Real Estate & Market Trends: Share insights on housing market shifts, property valuations, investment opportunities, and emerging market trends.
• Internal Guides & Trainings: Listen to operation guides or training manuals as easy-to-consume podcasts. Your team will thank you later!
• Financial Analysis: Break down S-1 Filings, 10-Ks, and other reports into conversational deep dives.
• Patient Education: Turn a discharge summary, care plan, or handout PDF into a short audio episode a patient is more likely to finish than the printed page.

Your ideas aren’t limited to websites, and now, with file uploads, Jellypod lets you focus on what matters: creating engaging, informative content, no matter where it starts.

Ready to give it a try? Create your first podcast with file uploads today. If you are starting from a PDF specifically, try it on one file with the PDF to podcast tool.

We know that fine-tuning your episode is key to producing high-quality, professional content. That’s why we’re excited to introduce Transcript Editing—a powerful new feature that ensures your podcast sounds exactly the way you want it to.

How It Works

Once your episode's script is created, a text editor will appear on the right-hand side, where you can:

• Add or Remove Host Speech Blocks
  Seamlessly adjust your script’s flow by inserting new sections or trimming unnecessary parts.
• Correct AI Quirks
  Fix any inaccuracies or rephrase sections to match your unique style and tone.
• Add Personal Touches
  Use [brackets] to insert interjections like "Mhms", giving your podcast a natural and conversational feel.

Why You'll Love It

• Creative Control: Fine-tune every word for a polished, professional result.
• Flexible Adjustments: Perfect your episodes without starting from scratch.
• Realism and Depth: Bring a human touch to AI-powered podcasts, making them feel authentic and engaging.

What’s Next?

We’re working on even more enhancements, including AI-powered editing suggestions. Stay tuned as we continue to improve your podcasting experience!

Jellypod's mission has always been to simplify the process of creating your first AI-powered podcast. However, we learned that many of you use your initial episodes to experiment and get a feel for AI podcast creation. This often led to quickly maxing out the free tier, leaving little room to fully explore your creativity.

In response to your feedback, we’re excited to announce a shift from an episode-based model to a credit-based system. With this update, you can draft as many podcasts and episodes as you like—no caps, no restrictions.

Credits are only used when generating audio, giving you the freedom to experiment and create without worrying about limits. This new model ensures you have the flexibility to bring your podcasting vision to life on your own terms

What's Changing?

All users (including free) can create unlimited podcasts and episodes. This includes episode outlines and scripts.

Credits are only used when generating audio. Each minute of audio generated consumes 60 credits.

You can regenerate audio as many times as you want; narration is charged once, when it is first generated, and regenerating it is free.

What's next?

We are building out optimizations to reduce the number of credits used when generating audio, such as selective regeneration. We'll also be adding more features to help you manage your credits, such as credit usage history.

We're excited to see what you create with this new system, and we're looking forward to seeing what you create!

Jellypod helps you easily publish your AI podcast directly to Spotify.

We handle all the hosting for your podcast, so you don't need to buy a subscription to another hosting provider like Transistor or Acast.

After following our steps to submit your show to Spotify's index, Jellypod will automatically update your podcast on all connected platforms whenever you publish a new episode.

This is different from Spotify Studio, Spotify's app for private AI podcasts: Studio episodes stay in your own library, while a Jellypod feed puts a public show on Spotify.

How It Works

Create a podcast in Jellypod

Publish an episode

Jellypod updates your show's RSS feed. (Learn more about RSS feeds here)

Submit your show to Spotify's directory and confirm show ownership.

Spotify will automatically detect new episodes and make them available to listeners.

Now that you've created an amazing AI podcast, how do you get it to your listeners?

RSS Feeds.

What is an RSS Feed?

RSS is the backbone of podcast distribution.

Think of it as a constantly updating catalog of your podcast that contains everything listeners need: episode titles, descriptions, cover art, and the actual audio files themselves. The feed is properly formatted to make it easy for podcast platforms like Spotify or Apple Podcasts to read and display your content.

Every show needs a valid RSS feed to be distributed on these platforms. Typically, creators need to use a podcast hosting provider to generate and maintain their RSS feeds. However, with Jellypod, this is all handled automatically.

Publish Everywhere, Instantly

Today, we're excited to announce that Jellypod now automatically generates an RSS feed for each published show, making it effortless to distribute your podcast.

This means you can easily use this feed to submit your show to popular platforms like:

• Apple Podcasts
• Spotify
• Google Podcasts
• Amazon Music
• And any other platform that supports RSS feeds

Don't want to do this manually? We're working on a feature to automate this process in the near future.

How It Works

When you publish an episode in Jellypod, it's automatically added to your show's RSS feed. Your feed includes all the essential metadata platforms need:

• Show details and artwork
• Episode descriptions
• Audio files
• Host information
• Categories and tags

Getting Started

Create and publish your podcast episode in Jellypod

Find your RSS feed URL in your show settings

Submit your feed URL to your preferred podcast platforms by following their platform-specific instructions

That's it! Future episodes will automatically appear on all connected platforms

We will be streamlining the process of submitting your feed URL to platforms like Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and Google Podcasts in the future. Stay tuned!

Focus on Creating, Not Distribution

With RSS feed support, you can focus on what matters most - creating engaging content with your AI host.

Recording every episode is the part most professionals drop. The explanations are already in the lecture, the policy, or the sermon. The missing piece is a voice that still sounds like them.

Jellypod voice cloning turns a short sample into a reusable host. You clone once, then generate later episodes from a script. The full product walkthrough lives on the voice cloning feature page. This note is the practical setup.

How to clone a voice in Jellypod

1. Record or upload 2 to 3 minutes of clean speech. A quiet room and a decent mic beat a long, noisy file.
2. Keep the delivery consistent. The sample is a teaching tape for an impression of you, not a highlight reel.
3. Review the inferred details, then accept the clone. Jellypod will not send audio to a voice provider without that acceptance. See how consent works.
4. Assign the clone to a host and generate from an editable script.

You can put the clone next to an AI co-host, or run the episode as a solo. Guests upload their own samples through voice clone invites so you never upload someone else's voice on their behalf.

When a clone is the wrong tool

Skip cloning if you only need a stock host. The voice library covers dozens of accents, and YouTube's AI disclosure policy treats stock voices and your own clone differently from cloning someone else.

Clone only a voice you own or have written permission to use.

Try it on a real source

Paste notes into the notes-to-podcast tool or start a topic in the AI podcast generator, then swap the host to your clone before you publish.

Frequently asked questions

How much audio do I need?

Aim for 2 to 3 minutes. Shorter samples work in a pinch. Noisy or heavily compressed audio produces a thinner clone.

Do I have to re-record after I clone?

No. The clone reads later scripts. You only record again if you want to improve the sample.

Can I clone a guest?

Yes, if they submit the sample and accept the clone themselves. Use voice clone invites.

Is drafting free?

Drafting and script edits use no credits. Credits are used when you generate audio. Publishing and downloading use no credits.

Script edits, publishing, and exports use no credits but require an eligible trial or plan. Jellypod offers a 7-day free trial you can cancel anytime.

The first step in making a great AI podcast is creating a host that sounds awesome.

Previously, you could either choose from a list of over 40+ professional voices, or you could clone your own voice. Now, we're making voice selection even easier.

Introducing Voice Design

Voice Design uses your character's backstory to generate a voice that matches their personality. There is no separate voice prompt to write, so you can focus on creating the character.

How it Works

Simply add more detail into your host's backstory (or not) and we'll use those characteristics to design a voice that incorporates other assumed aspects like age, accent, tone and pitch.

Is your host a Wall Street finance bro from New York? Or an ancient samurai warrior from feudal Japan? Or how about an evil wizard from the 1300s? No problem, we've got you covered.

Voice Design helps you create the right voice for a character faster.

So, what are you waiting for? Start designing custom host voices today, directly in Jellypod.

Jellypod was born out of a deep love for podcasts.

Podcasts have always been my go-to for convenient, entertaining content. But as much as I loved listening, I found a lack of content in the niches I cared most about. It's not that these topics don't exist anywhere—they just weren’t podcasts.

Because creating a podcast is hard.
Like anything worth doing, it requires time and effort. From researching topics to script writing, recording, editing, and publishing, the process is labor-intensive, especially if you’re covering a niche topic with a small but dedicated audience.

I mean, you could write a newsletter—but who even reads those anymore?

That’s why we built Jellypod.

It's an AI podcast studio designed to make it easy for anyone to create recurring, studio-quality podcasts.

Humans have always created tools to enhance our natural abilities. We believe that we should continue to build tools that make humanity more efficient. And now we're living in a time where we can finally scale human creativity.

Artificial intelligence won't destroy human creation.

Just like the PC and Microsoft Word made it easier for people to write (imagine having to write your college thesis on a typewriter), AI enables anyone to easily turn a dream into reality. So why don't we apply this to media? If we make it easier to create content that listeners actually find valuable, then we've succeeded. It doesn't matter what tools went into the process.

Become your show's executive producer.

Jellypod allows you to focus on the creative decisions and insights that make your show unique. By designing your show's outline, key research & data sources, and host characteristics, Jellypod automates the repetitive tasks that don't really need you involved.

Imagine having a team of script writers, researchers, editors, etc. creating your own podcast, all guided by your vision and unique insights.

Focus on the big picture. By automating the most time-consuming parts of podcasting, Jellypod makes it possible to consistently deliver high-quality podcast episodes, grow your following, and monetize a global audience. We’ve made it easier than ever to become a creator.

We really hope you enjoy using Jellypod. If you have any questions, comments, or suggestions, please don't hesitate to reach out to me directly at pierson@jellypod.ai.
