🎙️ My AI-Generated Podcast with NotebookLM

Ever feel like there’s just not enough time in the day to dive into all the things you’re passionate about? That’s why I created Bytes & Bits, my AI-generated podcast! It’s designed to make the most of my commuting time while sharing valuable insights with the tech community. 🎧

What is Bytes & Bits?

Bytes & Bits explores the essential tech shaping today’s digital world. From software development and DevOps to cloud and hardware insights, each episode simplifies complex concepts into practical knowledge. Whether you’re a developer, a tech enthusiast, or just curious, this podcast is for you!

How I Automated the Process

Here's how AI helps me bring each episode to life:

1. Analyze Ideas: I start with a core topic and analyze its potential. (GPT4o)
2. Generate Search Queries: AI creates detailed search queries to find sources. (GPT4o-mini)
3. Fetch Sources: Content from search engines (Google, Bing, Scholar, ...) is fetched.
4. Source Selection: Relevance of sources is analyzed and assigned score, only relevant sources with high score are used. (GPT4o)
5. Audio Prompt: Based on the analysis, a modified prompt is crafted for NotebookLM to create an audio overview.
6. Podcast Creation: Audio is generated and enhanced with intro music, with a note that it’s AI-generated.
7. Title and Description: GPT4 crafts the Spotify-ready title and description for each episode according to idea analysis.
8. Podcast Cover: Image is generated according to idea and analysis using GPT4 and DALLE3.

All this is done using Python scripts.

This setup means every episode is educational, well-structured, and packed with insights—without spending endless hours preparing content.
