Jancast #182- Jellypod.AI helped create this podcast
Jellypod.ai is like NotebookLM, but with more flexible options. For a start, you can create your own AI podcasts hosts from scratch. You can give each one a name, a backstory and choose from a selection of different voices. You also get it to clone your own voice, so an AI version of you can appear in your AI-generated podcast, if you like. You can also select how many hosts you want talking in your podcast, so if you want to have three female hosts doing all the talking, it’s no problem.
For a test I cloned my voice as one host and they picked one of the various ones available on the website. Click the audio link below to listen and let us know what you think.
