Hello Product Hunt Community very excited to be sharing Wondercraft with you today. Starting a podcast can be overwhelming and pricey: gear, editing skills, and multiple subscriptions (recording, hosting, editing, show notes and video to name a few) add up. But the payoff is evident - just look at Hubspot which created a whole network of 32(!) podcasts. Wondercraft makes starting a podcast as easy as ever by offering the following features: - Skip the recording process, by using hyper realistic AI voices 🎙 - Clone your own voice in seconds, for a personal touch 🤖 - Creating engaging episode content using our LLM based script assistant 📝 - Publish your content directly to all major podcast directories (like Spotify and Apple) 🔊 - Create custom audiogram videos and short clips for your social platforms 📹 - Translate to other languages ✈️ - Generate timestamped show notes and transcript 📑 We've seen many unique uses for Wondercraft, but these are a few standout ones: - Startups and small businesses seeking to transform their blogs and notes into digestible podcasts or engaging video content - Newsletters aiming to enhance their offerings with a companion podcast - Publications aiming to curate a daily recap of their top posts from the previous day - Educators keen on generating accessible and engaging content for their students Interested in checking out the quality of our podcasts? For the past month, we've been running the (unofficial) Product Hunt Daily podcast (https://www.wondercraft.ai/podca...), which is an autogenerated podcast based on the Daily newsletter of PH. We've also created a similar podcast for the Hacker News Recap (https://www.wondercraft.ai/podca...), which went viral and reached the top 30 tech podcasts. Why not start your own today? https://app.wondercraft.ai/ Our offers for the Product Hunt community: - Use code PHFAMILY50 to get 50% your first month - Code valid until end of year - Use code PHLAUNCH100 to get your first month free - Code only valid until end of week! Looking forward to hearing your feedback.

@dimitris_nikolaou_ Your tool could be a breakthrough for anyone looking to step into podcasting without the usual headaches. The AI voice cloning feature and direct publishing to major directories is awesome. Quick question on how the AI voices handle various emotional inflections. Probably a little technical but Is there any provision to mimic unique speech characteristics or accent variations? This could really help the human factor in AI generated podcasts. Thanks for bringing this to the community, and congratulations on the launch!
Dimitris Nikolaou
@marclafleur Hey Marc thanks for kind words. Yeah a new model is released at the end of the month that will be significantly better at accents. In terms of emotions, the model is doing ok currently, but we will also be integrating the ability for the user to specify the emotion on a per sentence basis. The later will be available by the end of the summer.

@dimitris_nikolaou_ Very excited and fun to work with the platform you have created, and I love the rapid roll-out of features! Its generative AI has allowed us a rapid, efficient podcast production workflow for our AI hosted show!
Dimitris Nikolaou
@polymash1 Awesome to have seen your creations to date Juergen. So cool to have such experienced people from the podcasting space using Wondercraft.

Hey PH Community! We're extremely proud to be sharing what we've been working on for the last few months. Our mission is simple: make it as seamless as possible for anyone to produce studio-quality podcasts through recent advancements in AI. Create your podcast in minutes (but please don't make two AIs interview each other 😅)! Every single day, we're working on new features to help you translate your ideas into podcasts, and we appreciate your support on this journey!!

This is crazy good! I would make the example audio a convo between more than 1 person. It would make the example more podcasty, and less audio-version-of-news-article.
Dimitris Nikolaou
@sentry_co We do specialise in the informative types of podcasts, and less so in the conversational ones, but definitely try it out!
André J
@dimitris_nikolaou_ Sure. But then its audio articles not podcasts. Podcasts people listen to for pingpong convos.
Anna Hanusová
Wow, this is really cool! Now creating a podcast seems so easy...will definately try, we were thinking about relasing a podcast as additinal content, with this tools seems it can be possible without too much extra work :) Congrats on the launch!
Dimitris Nikolaou
@anna_hanusova Thanks Anna. Definitely try it out and reach out letting us know how you found the platform.
Tomáš Blaťák
@dimitris_nikolaou_ Anna is an early adopter at Leadspicker, basically today We are video recording tutorials for our platform, so we will pilot your solution on voiceovers. :) So we will see, good luck guys, with your launch.

Registered but couldn't make it work in Spanish... stuck in the CONTENT tab, after some fiddling I was able to create an English podcast in a few minutes... then completely abandoned my daily tasks and have spent the past 5 hours perfecting a 10 min podcast (check it in my comments)... the reality is that Wondercraft.ai is very impressiv, it reminds me of customizable RECAST AI.
Jose Quan
Figured out the issue... tried to test SPANISH language and I guess it is still not available... kind of hard to actually figure out where to EDIT the language once I was in the CONTENT step... its generating my first test podcast 🤞
Dimitris Nikolaou
@jose_quan1 sorry for facing some issues! How was the first pod?
Jose Quan
@dimitris_nikolaou_ very impressive to be truthful, still tweaking it, to make it even more human like… when will Spanish voices be available???
Dimitris Nikolaou
@jose_quan1 there was a temporary glitch when you were playing. You can try again now and create a new podcast that is in Spanish. Everything will run properly for you.
Jose Quan
@dimitris_nikolaou_ will try Spanish now... this is my first finished pod:
Simon
How cool is this...turning a blog post into podcast and easily sharing is the ease of use I was waiting for! Can I ask how it can be automated, for example, can I create an autogenerated podcast based on an RSS feed of news for a travel destination? The help docs seem a bit limited so I am guessing for right now you have to manually collate the text and paste it in (still cool, just asking!) How did you create the PH podcast in an 'automated' way....can you subscribe the system to a newsletter or is it not that automated?
Dimitris Nikolaou
@simon_s_j hey! yeah if you use our API you can just subscribe to a curated source of news (RSS) and then use Wondercraft to generate your own RSS, just in different medium ;) We're working to make this available in the app as well. For the time being, if you're doing this in the app, you would need to manually copy and paste.
This product sounds like a dream come true for businesses looking to turn their existing content into podcasts. Kudos to the makers and hunters of Wondercraft AI! Are there any limitations or restrictions on the length of the podcasts that can be created?
Dimitris Nikolaou
@ricardo_luz Hey Ricardo, no limitation to length at all!
Charlie Leggate
This is so cool. The voices feature is an absolute game changer. How many languages can you produce content in?
Dimitris Nikolaou
@charlie_leggate Thanks Charlie. Right now it's 8 languages. But will be 29 languages by the end of the month.
Charlie Leggate
@dimitris_nikolaou_ Unreal - great work team
Amin
I understand that 8 languages are available. Can you list them please?
Dimitris Nikolaou
@footer Hey yes: English, Spanish, Portuguese, German, French, Italian, Polish and Hindi
Amin
@dimitris_nikolaou_ Thanks. Is that European Portuguese or Brazilian Portuguese?
Dimitris Nikolaou
@footer The accent is Brazilian Portuguese.

Dimitris Nikolaou
@orysia_khimiak Thank you very much Orysia. Would be happy to chat about collaboration!
Susan Wheeler-Hall
Wondercraft is well, …wonderful. I use it with a cloned version of my voice for short podcast episodes. It is very easy to use and the support from @dimitris_nikolaou_ is remarkable. Really good product.
Dimitris Nikolaou
@susan_wheeler_hall Much love Suzy! Has been incredible seeing your creator journey!
Max T.Pham
Congrats, Dimitris & team! Wondercraft AI is such a breakthrough for podcast creation. Simplifying and democratizing the process is huge. Excited to see the rise of new voices in the podcast space!
Dimitris Nikolaou
@maxtpham Thank you so much Max, really appreciate the nice words!
Namrata Arya
This is such a handy tool! We’ve not been able to start a podcast because of how resource intensive it is but this totally solves that problem to a large extent
Dimitris Nikolaou
@namrata_arya Awesome to hear Namrata!
Siaka Diakité
Wow, impressive work. Congratulations on the launch. 🙌
Dimitris Nikolaou
@siaka_diakiteb Thanks a ton Siaka!
Russ Johns
Very interesting bit of kit to work with. I think I'll use this to share bits of my newsletter and then publish to SM to gain more visibility. Great work and I can see it allowing me to get interviewed and then stitch the audio together as a story. I'm curious how I can develop the pacing or the pauses in between the words and phrases. Nice work Team!
Dimitris Nikolaou
@russ_johns1 Awesome, looking forward to having you on Russ!
Russ Johns
@dimitris_nikolaou_ I created a great intro for my newsletter and The Pirate Syndicate. I think it turned out amazing. https://app.wondercraft.ai/e/bqL...
Dimitris Nikolaou
@russ_johns1 It did! Thank you for sharing Russ, this is great!
