Product Updates

You can now share your AI hosts with dedicated public profile pages.

Each host has a shareable page at a unique URL that displays their name, backstory, voice sample, and other host details. By default, hosts are set to private so only you can see them, but are publicly sharable via a unique link.

Previously, there was no way to show someone what your AI host looked and sounded like without giving them access to your account. Now you can send a single link that gives people a complete picture of the host without exposing any of your other content.

Sources are the foundational context required to create engaging podcasts on Jellypod.

Beginning today, in addition to episode-level sources, you can now add sources at your podcast series level.

What are Sources?

When creating a podcast episode on Jellypod, most users will ground their new podcast in some external content such as a blog post, a PDF, or Powerpoint presentation. These sources are processed and used as context for your hosts to discuss in your podcast.

However, we've heard that there's often multiple episodes that use the same podcast source - such as a long-form article or brand guidelines - that every episode should be aware of.

With podcast level sources, this is now easily possible.

Podcast Level Sources

When creating or editing your podcast series, you're now provided with a step to upload sources to your podcast's knowledge base.

This optional step allows you to drag and drop files, add website links, or paste text that's associated with your podcast series and included in each new episode created in this podcast. This makes it easy to upload a global source file once at the podcast level rather than uploading the same source multiple times for each episode that needs it.

When you create an episode, that episode will use both the podcast-level source and episode-level sources, with episode sources taking priority over global sources.

Try it out today by editing any existing podcast or by creating a new podcast.

Other Improvements

We've also made some minor quality of life improvements regarding sources processing, improving the reliability of content ingestion and significantly reducing sources erroring out.

We've also improved adding sources via the episode outline step, with a new ability to drag and drop files directly in this area.

On today's Weekly Wednesday, we're releasing Magic Video as a new way to visualize your podcast audio. In addition to waveforms and karaoke-style captions, you can now generate visual assets that intelligently accompany your audio.

From PowerPoint-style slides to AI-generated images, Magic Video helps create a more engaging podcast for listeners in front of a screen.

To learn more, join our Weekly Wednesday livestream here:

How To Get Started

1. Create your Podcast: Generate your AI podcast as usual from your sources. Generate your audio like you're used to!
2. Select Magic Video: In the template dropdown, select Magic Video and then click on "Generate Assets".
3. Preview and export: Once your assets are generated, review your video and make any tweaks before publishing!

Why Video Podcasts?

Podcast consumption is evolving. Many listeners watch podcasts on YouTube, scrolling through clips on TikTok, and engaging with video content on LinkedIn. Magic Video makes it easy to meet your audience wherever they are without the hours of editing traditionally required.

Jellypod now analyzes your podcast conversation and generates relevant, high-quality visuals that match what's being discussed. No prompts needed. It just understands your content.

As always, podcasts remain audio-first. Your content should stand on its own through listening alone. Video is the layer that elevates an already great episode, providing an enhanced experience for audiences who want to watch, not just listen.

Magic Video is currently in Beta and will see many improvements over the coming weeks.

Available Styles

• Audiogram & Captions: Animated waveforms with karaoke-style word highlighting that follows along as words are spoken
• AI Generated Images: Contextual visuals created automatically from your content in real-time
• Presentation Slides: Auto-generated PowerPoint-style slides that extract key points and sync to your narration
• Whiteboard: Hand-drawn sketch animations that appear as you speak (Coming Soon)

This Weekly Wednesday, we're thrilled to announce a major improvement of your podcast website.

For brands looking to grow with podcasts, a well designed website is critical. The new design helps display your show in the best possible way, better emphasizing your brand and making it easier than ever for your audience to enjoy your content.

To learn more about this (and other) new releases this week, join the Jellypod team here at 10AM PST:

Your Podcast's Home Base

Jellypod makes it incredibly easy for creators to distribute their AI-generated podcasts to major platforms like Spotify, Apple Podcasts, and YouTube. But we also believe every podcast deserves its own dedicated space on the web, which is why each Jellypod podcast comes includes its own custom website (featuring a customizable subdomain of your choice).

We know your podcast website is a direct extension of your brand. So whether you're sharing it with clients, customers, coworkers, or employees, it needs to look professional and polished. That's exactly what our improved design delivers.

What's New?

The refreshed design puts your podcast's identity front and center with enhanced emphasis on:

• Your podcast cover art: Prominently displayed to make a strong visual impact
• Your title and description: Clear, readable, and perfectly positioned
• Category tags" Primary and secondary categories that align with Spotify and Apple Podcasts
• External social links: Easy access to connect with you across platforms
• Distribution links – Direct buttons to listen on third-party platforms

A Seamless Listening Experience

All of your episodes are now organized on the right side of the website, making it effortless for visitors to browse your content.

When someone clicks on an episode, they'll find:

• An integrated podcast player for instant listening
• Published date and episode title
• Full episode description
• Complete transcript for accessibility and searchability

The interface is intuitive, friendly, and designed to keep your audience engaged. There's no complicated navigation but just a clean, straightforward experience that lets your content shine.

See It for Yourself

If you're already a Jellypod user, your podcast website has been automatically updated with the new design. Simply visit your custom subdomain to see the transformation.

For Day Five of Launch week, we're releasing an expanded voice library optimized for Horizon, our latest podcast voice model. We understand how important the voice is to making a podcast that sounds great. And these voices were hand-selected for their realism and conversational naturalness, and are now available to all Jellypod users.

We've also expanded our library to include more voices with international accents, helping our users in non-English speaking countries, create podcasts that sound more real. All our voices, as always, support all of our languages, but some may be optimized to sound better in certain languages.

Our expanded voices are now available when creating a new host - check them out the next time you're creating a new podcast.

Happy Podcasting!

For Day 4 of Launch Week, you can now export and download your transcripts in a standardized plain text format. It's perfect for making edits in an external text editor such as Microsoft Word, Google Docs, or even ChatGPT, giving you more flexibility in your AI podcasting journey. It's especially useful when you want to share a script with a coworker or client, get input, and reimport those changes back in Jellypod.

To get started, go into an existing episode, click on the ellipses (...) button on the top right-hand corner, and click export transcript.

The transcript will be exported with each speaker enclosed in brackets, like this: [John Doe], with their speech directly after on a new line. When making edits outside of Jellypod, ensure you maintain this format for accurate re-imports.

Try it out and let us know what you think!

Today, we're launching the ability to purchase additional Jellypod credits without upgrading your subscription.

For customers generating an amount of content that doesn't perfectly fit in one of our subscription tiers, you can now purchase bundles of 1000 credits as a one-off purchase.

To purchase credits, users can go to their account billing settings here.

This new flexible billing model with both subscriptions and one-off payments aligns us more closely with industry leaders and is great for users who just need a few more credits for the month, or customers who are on our Business plan that don't want to upgrade to our Enterprise tier yet.

We're excited to see how this enables more people to create more AI podcasts without committing to larger subscriptions.

Happy podcasting!

Today, we're launching our Advanced Timeline Editor, one of the most powerful and requested features in Jellypod's history.

This new editor interface gives you the ability to directly manipulate audio segments in a familiar track-based audio timeline, bringing more control and precision to AI podcasting. More of your production workflow can now live entirely within Jellypod, without needing to export your episode to Premiere Pro, Audition, or iMovie for final touches.

What's New

Visual Timeline Interface

Collapsed by default, the new timeline contains every audio segment from your hosts, appearing within an audio track that can be directly manipulated.

You can now drag segments to add natural pauses and gaps between speakers. Need a dramatic two-second pause before a big reveal? Simply drag the segments apart. Want tighter pacing or make speakers overlap? Now you can. Every adjustment updates in real-time and stays in sync with your transcript for a powerful, visual editing experience.

Precise Volume Control

Each individual audio block's volume can now be adjusted. Just click and drag on the horizontal volume bar within the audio segment to modify the volume level for that block.

Also, you can now easily add intro music, outro music, and background music with drag-and-drop simplicity. Unlike before, you now have precise control over placement, duration, and mixing. Background music appears on its own track, and is automatically trimmed to your episode's length, making it easy to see how it layers with your dialogue.

Audio Fading

Just like how you can adjust a segment's volume level, you can also create blocks that fade in or out, perfect for intro or outro music.

No more abrupt starts or jarring endings, your music can now transition smoothly and professionally, just like traditionally produced podcasts. To fade a block, click and drag horizontally from the left or right of an audio segment to see a fade curve appear on your audio.

Multi-Track Layering

One of the most powerful features the timeline enables is the ability to overlap audio layers and mix background music underneath dialogue. The timeline shows each track separately, giving you a clear visual representation of how your audio elements combine. You can adjust the mix until it sounds exactly right.

All of this power lives alongside our signature transcript editing experience and can still work entirely in text and only expand the timeline when necessary for more granular control. The choice is yours!

Getting Started

The Timeline Editor is now available to all Jellypod users within the episode creation flow. To use the timeline, first generate your audio and then click "Expand Timeline" at the bottom left corner of the page.

You can select, drag, and reposition each audio segment, while the audio automatically stays in sync with your transcript. Use the volume controls on individual segments to fine-tune levels and add music using the intro, outro, and background music buttons.

The timeline works seamlessly with your existing workflow and can be collapsed when you don't need it.

This is Day 2 of Jellypod Launch Week and tomorrow we'll unveil another heavily feature - stay tuned!

Today, we're launching Jellypod Teams, bringing collaborative AI podcast creation to organizations of all sizes.

Now you can work together with your coworkers or clients under a single Jellypod umbrella—sharing hosts, voice clones, and podcast episodes all with unified billing and enterprise-grade access controls.

What's New

Shared Resources Across Your Team

Every team member now has access to assets created by other users in their team, including podcast series, episodes, hosts, and voice clones. This makes it easy to hand off work from one user to another without insecure practices like password sharing.

Additionally, multiple users can work on the same podcast episode where one team member can draft the initial episode—selecting sources, outlining chapters, and generating the first version. Then, they can hand it off to a colleague who can review and edit the script, publishing when it looks good.

Organization-Level Credits and Subscriptions

Credits and subscriptions now live at the organization level and are shared across team members. This means each user draws from a shared credit pool, making it simple to manage resources and scale production within your team.

Admins can monitor total usage across all team members from a single dashboard—one place with complete visibility.

Role-Based Access Control (RBAC)

Team members can be invited as either Admins or Members.

Admins can manage billing, purchase subscriptions, and invite other teammates. Regular members are able to access all other resources, such as podcasts, hosts, and voice clones.

Multi-Factor Authentication

We now support multi-factor authentication, giving users an additional layer of security to protect your account. MFA can be enabled in your account settings.

Enterprise SSO & Directory Sync

For our enterprise customers, we've built seamless integrations with your existing identity infrastructure. Your team can now log into Jellypod using Single Sign-On through any SAML identity provider—including Okta, Microsoft Entra ID, Google Workspace, and Active Directory.

And by enabling Directory Sync, users are automatically provisioned and deprovisioned when someone joins or leaves your team—no manual management required.

To get access to SSO and Directory Sync, please reach out to enterprise@jellypod.ai.

Getting Started

Teams are now available to all Jellypod users at no additional cost. To invite team members:

1. Go to "Account Settings" in your Jellypod dashboard by clicking on your Profile in the lower left corner.
2. Click on the "Team" tab and then click "Invite User".
3. Enter their email address and assign their role as either admin or member.
4. Once your new team member accepts their invite, they'll immediately have access to all existing podcast series, hosts, and voice clones in your account.

How Teams Work in Practice

Let's look at a real-world workflow:

Sarah, a content marketer, has just published a comprehensive whitepaper on AI security. She wants to turn it into a podcast episode for their weekly show.

Monday, 10:00 AM: Sarah logs into her team's Jellypod account and creates a new episode in their "Security Insights" series. She uploads the whitepaper PDF, adds a few relevant blog posts as sources, and uses the company's branded AI hosts that the team created last month. She then generates the outline, reviews the script, makes a few tweaks, and generates the audio.

This draft episode is visible to her entire team.

Monday, 2:00 PM: Michael, the VP of Marketing and Sarah's manager, gets a message in Slack from Sarah with a link to an episode ready for review.

He opens the episode in his Jellypod account and starts to review the script. It sounds good, but he notices a technical term that needs clarification for their audience. He edits the transcript directly, adding a line where one host asks the other to explain it in simpler terms. He regenerates the audio for that one change and goes ahead and publishes the episode to Spotify.

Result: A polished, on-brand podcast episode created in just 30 minutes that benefited from both a creator's attention to detail and a manager's strategic oversight—without a single meeting or email thread.

This workflow scales across use cases: agencies with clients reviewing content, educational institutions with professors and teaching assistants collaborating, or enterprise comms teams with writers and executives working together.

Why This Matters

With Teams and Organizations, we're making AI podcasting collaborative and scalable.

Whether you're a marketing team producing branded content, a media company managing multiple shows, or an enterprise creating internal communications at scale, teams unlock a new ability to leverage your organization's collective expertise and brand voice in ways that were previously impossible.

Have questions? Reach out to contact@jellypod.ai.

Today we're releasing Horizon, our newest and most advanced AI podcast audio model. Horizon excels at delivering higher fidelity audio, richer expressions, and more natural dialogue and conversation.

It's designed to make your host sound more lifelike and more engaging, with clearer diction, better pacing, and subtle emotional cues that bring conversations to life.

All Jellypod users get access to Horizon at no additional cost.

How do I turn it on?

By default, all new users have Horizon chosen as their default audio model for all hosts. For existing users, you can turn on Horizon per host by going into your Host's settings.

If at any point you prefer the previous model, you can revert to the Classic voice model by going into the Host and changing the model under "Advanced Settings". This may be applicable if you're used to a voice clone sounding a specific way or if a voice just sounds weird or inconsistent.

Note: Due to it's higher quality and realism, audio generations may take longer than our Classic.

Tips for Perfect Audio

Horizon is more sensitive to context and emotion. If a host sounds too animated or too flat, try these quick adjustments:

• Refine the backstory: Add guidance about tone, energy level, or demeanor. Example: "Keeps a calm, measured delivery."
• Adjust block speed: In the editor, tweak the speed for any block that feels too fast or too slow.
• Balance the cast: If you bring in a high-energy host, pair them with a steadier co-host for contrast.

FAQs

1. Will Horizon change my existing episodes?
   1. No. Previously published episodes are not altered.
2. What if I hear over-the-top emotion?
   1. Tone it down by softening adjectives in the backstory and removing exclamation marks in scripts. You can also lower speed a touch for a calmer read.
3. My voice clone no longer sounds like me! Help!
   1. If the new voice is unacceptable, you can always revert to our Classic model in your Host's settings.

What's Coming Next

We will roll out several new Horizon-specific features in the coming weeks, giving you even more fine grained control over how your hosts sound. Stay tuned!
