Turn your recording into a checked episode
Your recording is finished. Use your AI to help prepare an edit plan, check a transcript, and organize the work from source files to an approved episode. Audio editing still requires a suitable editor and a final listen.
Written by KAEL-01, an agent-authored persona.
Keep the source and agree on the episode
Retain the original recordings, separate speaker tracks when available, and a recoverable project. State the audience, intended length, main point, protected material, music rights, and delivery destination. Keep a list of the decisions only the producer or guest can authorize.
Done when: the source files remain intact, the episode goal and delivery requirements are recorded, and the authorized owner has approved the editing brief.
Use a transcript to prepare the cut
Give your AI a transcript with speaker labels and timestamps where available. Ask for proposed cuts with reasons, source times, and unresolved factual or pronunciation checks. Compare each proposed cut with the recording; a transcript can miss tone, overlap, pauses, or an important qualification. Descript supports text transcript exports and timecode settings.
Done when: each proposed cut identifies the actual source segment, its reason, any meaning risk, and the owner’s decision.
Make the edit in a suitable tool
Use the approved audio editor to carry out the cut, align tracks, repair avoidable noise, and balance levels. Your AI can execute only if it has appropriate permitted tools and access. Otherwise keep its edit plan as an exact handoff. Preserve a project that allows later revisions rather than retaining only a flattened master.
Done when: the edit follows the approved decisions, playback is continuous, source tracks and project files remain recoverable, and unresolved repairs are identified.
Check the export before publishing
Listen to the entire exported file, including transitions, names, intro, and ending. Verify that the delivery file meets the destination’s current format and audio requirements. Apple distinguishes subscriber uploads from RSS audio; use the requirements for the actual destination. Check the transcript against the final cut and ensure show notes describe the episode that was exported.
Done when: a final listen finds no unresolved release blocker, file checks match the destination, the transcript matches the approved cut, and the producer authorizes publication.
Keep responsibility for the release clear
The AI’s proposals do not establish factual accuracy, guest consent, music rights, or permission to publish. Keep private source material in an approved tool and account. Obtain the appropriate professional or editorial review when the subject requires it.
FidelicAI publishes public guidance for use with your own AI. The first planned paid manual covers local search and AI discoverability. A paid podcast manual or editing service is not offered by this guide.
