When my kids ask me questions I can’t answer (which is... all the time), I usually just open ChatGPT, repeat the question, and let it respond. Then the kids start asking the phone directly, usually followed by “Too difficult! Make it easier!”
But I’m curious about your idea, are you thinking the LLM would generate a podcast version of the answer in real-time? Or would it be more like, “Let me make a podcast episode for that” and play it later?
Definitely the latter. From my experience with my kids, they love listening to the same episode multiple times, and it helps them absorb the material better. Also, it makes for a great bedtime routine.
Definitely a “customer” question rather than a business or technical one, but how do these credits work? If I sign up for the paid account, what limits will I have? Will I need to be sparing about my usage to avoid running out of credits? I couldn’t see any explanation of what a credit is and how that works.
Great question! With the paid plan, you get 70 credits per month, which equals 70 minutes of episodes. You can re-listen to any episodes you’ve already generated as many times as you want, create playlists, and share them with people who aren’t users.
Cool idea! I want to hear something it generated before putting in my details to start a trial. Perhaps you could add some sample episodes that it generated so people could get a sense of it right from the landing page.
This is brilliant! curious - how do you see parents using this in their daily routines?
Thanks so much! A lot of parents use it in the car, at bedtime to wind down, or just for some screen-free quiet time. I really wanted to make it easy for them to whip up an episode anytime their kid asks a question.
This is great! How’d you make it?
hey, thanks for asking!
short answer - i combine an LLM model with TTS models to generate and narrate each episode. But there’s a lot more happening behind the scenes to make sure everything is safe, age-appropriate, and sounds natural every time.
Planning to add an API for this?
Didn't think of it... but totally doable!
I'll add it to my backlog.
Thanks!
