ChatGPT Prompts I have used:
1. Write Script prompt:
You are to write a podcast script from the article posted. It should be a monologue in news style format in 3rd person (talking about the story from a journalistic perspective). It should be only three sentences maximum, short and to the point. Don't include any websites in the script. No introduction and no outro. No notes in brackets or any directions. ONLY THE SCRIPT.
2. Write Title prompt:
Create a short podcast title based on the news stories in this content. Include company names where possible. Don't surround the title with quotes. Use absolutely NO quotation marks.
3. Write Description prompt:
Create a short podcast description based on the content. Include short summaries on each news story included without going into detail. The podcast is called "AI News Today". Don't surround it with quotes.

So funny that I stumbled on this video. I just launched a brief AI generated news podcast last week, but used a slightly different process with Zapier Central and HeyGen to give me video that video element as well. Awesome stuff Mike!

[@MikeRussell]

That's awesome, glad you found the video helpful for your AI generated news podcast process - incorporating Zapier Central and HeyGen sounds like a creative approach to adding that video element! Zapier Central is a great new product so will give a try. I’m going to update this video soon with more ideas.

[@melissaloh4863]

This is awesome! Great video. Question - if you're doing daily news that publishes at 4 am, does that mean you're starring the Feedly articles the night before? Curious how you manage that part of the workflow.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for the kind words! Yes, I use Feedly to curate and star articles the night before. I just make sure that it’s set with dates for tomorrow in my flow.

[@Sipprell1]

Awesome video Mike! Could you provide the pricing plans to choose from for Feedly, Make, and Eleven labs to complete the daily podcast shown in the video with the content you provided as an example? I see there are several options to choose from on each platform, and I would want to make sure I have the right plans but not going over budget.

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you for your feedback! Feedly offers pricing plans starting And I’m in the $8 per month plan, Make has different subscription options and I pay around $10 per month, and ElevenLabs offers various plans I’m currently on $22 per month - make sure to choose the ones that best fit your needs and budget.

[@Sipprell1]

@@MikeRussell Thanks Mike! I truly appreciate it.

[@AlanLindstrom]

Thank you, Mike, this is brilliant, and I have it all working except for one bit. Please can you provide the syntax code you used for "tomorrows podcast" intro. I am not a coder, and I just cannot work out how to do the intro so the day reads correctly as "Monday the 16th of October 2023...."

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks, so glad you nearly got this to work. Here’s the syntax code I used to get the day as you mentioned. Note the addDays bit adds one day so that it is tomorrow’s date that is used: This is the AI News for today - {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "dddd")}} the {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "Do")}} of {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "MMMM")}} {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "YYYY")}}…

[@Outandaboutphill]

Amazing information Mike, thanks for putting in the effort to do this, or are your videos AI generated now....?

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks for the kind words! No, my videos are not AI generated but I do love exploring how AI can enhance podcasting processes. If, indeed, my videos were AI generated I’m sure they’d be game-changing, mind-blowing and undoubtably they’d “revolutionize” your experience on this channel! 😜🤖😅

[@ChefMikeMoses]

Great Video Mike, Just having issues with the Google Documents Query. The formatDate doesn't seem to work.

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks for watching! In your Google Documents Query formula make sure the formatDate is correctly formatted using the correct syntax and date parameters. This is exactly what I’m using: {{formatDate(now; "YYYY")}}{{formatDate(now; "MM")}}{{formatDate(now; "DD")}} You could also add a day to the date created if you want to create tomorrow’s podcast the day before (as I have started doing) and in that case this syntax would work: {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "YYYY")}}{{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "MM")}}{{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "DD")}}

[@nextgenpodcaster]

I tried this and ran into the same thing. The issue is likely that your "now" variable isn't showing up as a variable. If "now" isnt' showing up in a little blue box, it's not going to run correctly.

[@raphaelschaad4309]

Amazing

[@MikeRussell]

Thank you so much, glad you found it amazing!

[@maj2476]

Hi Mike, thanks for the amazing tutorial! I’m using Wordpress website as my main trigger to create the podcast script. Can you please explain how do I upload more than one episode per day? I look forward to your response.

[@MikeRussell]

You could totally do this. The publish automation is time based. I use mine and set to trigger at 4AM each day. You could easily do two or more. e.g. 4AM and 4PM.

[@macreatorsuk]

My mind is blown 🤯

only able to select turbo 3.5 gpt on open ai model: purchase the chat gpt to use 4 but the open ai module only list 3.5 items (not in your video, course i want to make this work as you did.

[@MikeRussell]

Sad to hear you don’t have GPT-4 in your API. I thought everyone had it by now. Perhaps something to take up with OpenAI. I’m using GPT-4 but I don’t see why it couldn’t work well with GPT-3.5 Turbo. This model is really good at summarisation so all should be fine and there’s even an argument for this over my present model as it’ll be cheaper to run too 😉 Give it a go. Let me know how it goes!

[@PortafolioCapital]

Hey Mike! I was wondering if you had any experience setting this exact methodology but to Spotify instead of Soundcloud?

[@MikeRussell]

While I haven't specifically set up automation for Spotify I did look into it. Sadly, unless I’m mistaken, Spotify for Podcasters doesn’t have an API or automated way to upload episodes. I’ll check again and update if I found a way as this would be cool.

[@spotsya1916]

Beautiful tools amazing automation But would prefer to curated a bit

[@MikeRussell]

Thanks for your feedback! Curation is a big part of this process. In fact… it’s the biggest human element that’s required 😉

[@Corehesion]

By chance is it possible to use the router to create multiple different paragraphs in the same document and it reads as one seamless document?

[@MikeRussell]

A router is not designed to handle text formatting or document creation unfortunately. I started experimenting updating this automation using Notion for scripts so I feel an updated video coming soon!

[@gosinergya3125]

Do you have any example to do the oposite, I have several audios from a podcast and do transcript to post it on instagram?

[@MikeRussell]

Absolutely! Check my transcription tool videos. Something like Whisper could do this.

[@DavidJackson]

You had me until you said Soundcloud. I'll have to see how to integrate with Libsyn (maybe FTP?) or buzz sprout, Captivate, etv.

[@MikeRussell]

Absolutely! Integrating with Libsyn will be easy using the FTP module. I just started playing with FTP on Libsyn myself and think I’m going to make a future update about this. I’m gonna ask you for help if I get stuck! 🤓 Buzzsprout is tricky as it only has API (no FTP) so more low-code than no-code, Captivate I couldn’t find FTP or API. SoundCloud was the only podcast “host” (and I use that term lightly) 😉 that was included in Make with no extra steps. I can certainly create a future tutorial and walk through the process for Libsyn. Great idea!

[@mlacerda]

Uploading the MP3 audio via FTP to Libsyn works, but it goes without the ID3 tags so no title, no description and no cover art.

[@oluwasegunoyeniyi4637]

Is there a way to do the same for Spotify for podcasters?

[@valsmyth123]

Where on soundcloud is your podcast? I searched but couldn’t find it can you give a link? Would love to listen

[@MikeRussell]

Here ya go. Let me know what you think! mrc.fm/aip

[@manumartinezkcxu]

back again: was able to create a document: but the date is not written out: as in your tutorial: my has 'This is the Native News for today - 20231017 ... ' and when i go back to append another feedly it does adds another document but does not append it.

[@MikeRussell]

You’d use this formating to get the date read out instead of numbers: {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "dddd")}} the {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "Do")}} of {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "MMMM")}} {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "YYYY")}} Then as for appending and not creating a new document use “Insert a Paragraph into a Document” in the Google Docs intergratino.

[@nextgenpodcaster]

Only issue I ran into was when I tested the second scenario, it doesn't want to grab the latest script uploaded/created. It keeps grabbing an older file in that folder. Does this run differently when the automation is turned out? Or how are you getting it to pull the last created file?

[@nextgenpodcaster]

The other option I was thinking would be to add one more step where Make moves the script to a completed folder in drive after the episode has been generated.

[@MikeRussell]

When the automation is turned on, the script should be pulling the latest file created - ensure that your automated process is set to always fetch the most recently uploaded script.

hello could you help me understand what result I could get if I add the jungle scout API for Amazon sellers to my scenario

[@MikeRussell]

Nice work. Adding the Jungle Scout API for Amazon sellers to your automated podcast workflow could potentially provide valuable insights on trending products and sales data to incorporate into your podcast content for a more targeted audience reach.

Is it possible to create a voice bot in telegram, to which I will send an audio message. After the bot will transcribe and perform tasks based on the message. For example, to change an event in the calendar

[@MikeRussell]

Yes, it is possible to create an AI voice bot on Telegram. There is a Make integration for that. There’s also an OpenAI Whisper transcribe module too. So perfectly possible!

[@Nursultan_karazhigit]

@@MikeRussell thanks . how to force chat gpt to analyze a voice message. and then make an action in accordance with this?

[@manumartinezkcxu]

back again: able to create doc one, but when I select my second article from freely: repeats creating another article but does not append to the first. i went through the tutuorial and went over this part: does not append to the document but creates another doc with a different time...any insight..what to look for? Thanks for the {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "dddd")}} the {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "Do")}} of {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "MMMM")}} {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "YYYY")}} this worked out on my intro of script doc.

[@MikeRussell]

Are you making sure you use the append module and not the create one under Google Docs? Take a look at the bit where I use a router to determine if the file already exists or not. The router bit is key as it determines if it should create or append. Happy to help more with this. Let me know!

[@manumartinezkcxu]

@@MikeRussell It is the date that I place in {{formatDate(now; "YYYY")}}{{formatDate(now; "MM")}}{{formatDate(now; "DD")}} in the first google doc then on the second i place the mapping>file id Insert Paragraph: By Appending to Body of Paragraph (is the date format correct and the file Id?)

[@manumartinezkcxu]

on feedly i have my articles lined up> number one goes well then the second one (nor third) is appended to the first doc. But as i mentioned before, the goole ads a new doc for each article vs the appending to the first file. i think its the file naming on the router document (google file id?) or the naming of the document that is not in sync

[@manumartinezkcxu]

can not find in your notes on formatDate,,,, which will go in the google drive

[@MikeRussell]

I apologise for missing that information. Here it is: {{formatDate(now; "YYYY")}}{{formatDate(now; "MM")}}{{formatDate(now; "DD")}} Also, for tomorrow’s date it’d be: {{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "YYYY")}}{{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "MM")}}{{formatDate(addDays(now; 1); "DD")}}
