Produce, edit, and grow your podcast without a production team
AI tools that help podcast hosts plan episodes, edit audio, create show notes, repurpose content, and grow their audience. From solo podcasters to network shows.
Edit podcasts by editing text. AI removes filler words, silences, and crosstalk. Creates transcripts and audiograms.
Pro tip: Record your episode, then click "Remove filler words" and "Shorten silences" — your rough cut is done in seconds. Edit the transcript like a document to tighten the episode.
Generate detailed show notes, episode summaries, guest research briefs, and blog posts from episode transcripts.
Pro tip: Paste your episode transcript and prompt: "Create SEO-optimized show notes with timestamps, a 3-sentence summary, 5 key takeaways, and a blog post version of this episode." One prompt, four pieces of content.
Turn podcast episodes into viral short clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts with auto-captions.
Pro tip: Upload your video podcast and let AI identify the most engaging 30-60 second moments. Post 3-5 clips per episode across platforms — this is how most podcasts grow in 2026.
Studio-quality remote recording with AI noise removal, automatic leveling, and separate audio tracks for each speaker.
Pro tip: Record locally on each participant's device for studio quality, even with poor internet. AI automatically levels volume between speakers and removes background noise.
Generate professional podcast intros, translate episodes into other languages, and create consistent audio branding.
Pro tip: Create a professional intro and outro with AI voice and music. Consistent audio branding makes your show sound produced and builds listener trust.
The modern podcast stack: Riverside for recording, Descript for editing, Claude for show notes, and Opus Clip for growth. A solo podcaster with these four tools produces and promotes episodes as efficiently as a podcaster with a full production team.
Descript is the most impactful AI tool for podcasters — it combines editing, transcription, filler word removal, and clip creation in one tool. For content repurposing, add Claude for show notes and Opus Clip for social media clips.
Yes. Descript removes filler words, silences, and crosstalk automatically. You edit the text transcript and the audio follows. For most podcasts, AI handles 80% of editing. Complex sound design still benefits from human editors.
The biggest growth lever is repurposing: use Opus Clip to create 5-10 short video clips per episode for social media. Use Claude to write SEO-optimized show notes that rank in Google. AI turns one episode into 15+ pieces of discoverable content.
