Getting Started with RePod.tools

Welcome to RePod.tools! If you're an indie podcaster tired of spending 30-60 minutes per episode writing show notes, you're in the right place. This guide will walk you through how RePod.tools automates show notes that write themselves—no uploads, no manual work.

Why Automate Show Notes?

Creating show notes manually is the least favorite task for most podcasters. You spend 30-60 minutes per episode crafting summaries, timestamps, and key takeaways. For weekly podcasters, that's 2-4 hours every month just on documentation.

With RePod.tools, you can:

Save 30-60 minutes per episode with complete automation
Never upload audio files again—RSS auto-detection handles everything
Get notes that match your voice—AI memory learns your style
Improve SEO with structured, keyword-rich notes
Update recurring sections globally across your entire catalog

How It Works

RePod.tools uses RSS-based automation and AI memory to transform your podcast episodes into publish-ready show notes. Here's the process:

1. Connect Your Podcast Feed (One Time)

Simply paste your podcast RSS feed URL once. That's it—no API keys, no special integrations needed. Works with Buzzsprout, Libsyn, Transistor, Anchor, and every other podcast host.

2. Automatic Detection & Processing

RePod.tools checks your RSS feed every 10 minutes for new episodes. When you publish:

New episode is detected automatically (no uploads!)
AI transcribes your audio with 95%+ accuracy using Whisper
Generates summaries, timestamps, and SEO-optimized hooks
AI memory ensures notes match your unique voice and style
Processing completes in 2-5 minutes for typical 60-minute episodes

3. Delivery Anywhere

Show notes are automatically delivered to your preferred platform:

Email (instant inbox delivery)
Slack (team notifications)
Notion (content management)
Google Docs (easy editing)
Clipboard/Markdown (quick posting)

Getting the Most Out of RePod.tools

Train the AI Memory on Your Voice

The AI memory learns from your past episodes (we recommend 5-10, but it works with as few as 3) to match your unique style and tone. It identifies:

Your writing style and preferred terminology
Recurring segments (intros, outros, sponsor reads)
Tone preferences (formal, witty, technical, conversational)
SEO keyword patterns

With each new episode and your edits, the AI gets better—typically requiring less than 30% manual refinement compared to 70-80% with generic tools.

Use Global Templates

Define shared sections once and apply them across all episodes:

Sponsor announcements
Social media links
Newsletter signup CTAs
Recurring resources or links

When you update a global template, changes apply automatically to new episodes AND retroactively to your existing catalog. No more manually updating 50 old episodes when you change sponsors.

Review and Refine (Optional)

While RePod.tools generates high-quality notes automatically, you have full control:

Simple editor for quick tweaks
Adjust timestamps
Add custom sections
AI learns from your edits to improve future episodes
