Content & CreativeDone with Replit Agent
Build an automated podcast website that creates companion resources
A podcaster built and deployed a podcast site with Replit over a weekend that automatically generates companion resources when an episode is published.
- What They Did
- Over a weekend of back-and-forth, the podcaster described what they wanted and Replit Agent built and deployed the site. It imports episodes from the show's RSS feed, then uses AWS Transcribe for transcripts and GPT-4o for tags and analysis. GPT-4o-mini powers an episode chat, limited by rules to episode-related topics. Admins can trigger bulk transcript generation.
- How It Went
- The result is a live site that creates transcripts, tags, related episodes and chat once an episode is published. The post gives no usage numbers. It does say AWS Transcribe replaced Whisper, cutting cost 73% and raising the file limit to 2GB.
- Worth Knowing
- The podcaster restricted the chat to episode-related questions so it can't become a free general AI tool that drives up costs.
Try it yourself with Replit Agent
Build a website for my podcast [podcast name] where, when I publish a new episode with a title and transcript or notes, it automatically generates companion resources like [show notes, summary, quotes, and a checklist]. Set up the pages and the automation using sample episodes. You're done when I can add a test episode and see the generated resources on its page; ask before deploying publicly.
