01
Recording ends — RSS or upload detected
Your RSS feed publishes (or the audio file lands in CastPilot), the pipeline wakes. No trigger button, no dashboard click — the agent picks it up in the background.
02
Transcript + key moments identified
Whisper transcribes the full audio. The agent scores each paragraph, marks timestamps where engagement lifts, and writes back a structured transcript with subject shifts called out.
03
Agent drafts tweet, LinkedIn, and show notes
GPT-4o pulls the strongest moments into platform-tuned drafts: a 280-char tweet hook, a LinkedIn long-form post, and a 174-word show-notes summary with timestamped chapters. Held in the digest queue.
04
Clips cut, captioned, queued for distribution
Three to five vertical 9:16 clips (30–90 seconds each) are auto-captioned from the transcript and rendered to R2. Each ships with its own title and a thumbnail description the AI wrote.
05
Directory updates publish — host wakes to shipped artifacts
Show notes push to Spotify and Apple, clips post to X and LinkedIn on the show's cadence, and the host's weekly digest lands — a single link listing every artifact produced while they were away.
