Cohost AI

Buzzsprout's Cohost AI feature builds out your episode details— from transcripts to sample social media posts! We have built Cohost AI into Buzzsprout to simplify and streamline your upload process. So, while we help with the time-consuming details, you can focus more on your episode's content!

Just like any great cohost, Cohost AI will give you some episode title ideas, draft an episode description, define chapter markers, draft a blog post, prepare three social media posts, and transcribe your episode. While your episode is processing, Cohost AI will be handling the details. Once it is done, you will see all this information in your Cohost AI Summary to review and adjust!

You can enable Cohost AI by going to Episodes > Cohost AI in your Buzzsprout account. If you're on a multi-podcast plan, this will apply Cohost AI to all your podcasts.

First, you’ll have the option to try it for free on an episode!  When the episode is processed, you will see your Cohost AI Summary on your episode details page. That page will break down all the information provided by Cohost AI. You can review the content and decide what you want to use, adjust, or remove!
Then, if you’d like to keep using Cohost AI for all future episodes, just head back to Episodes > Cohost AI and click Enable. This is a monthly add-on feature, and pricing depends on your current plan.

Note: Cohost AI is applied when you upload an audio file, so enabling it won’t affect episodes you've previously uploaded—just the ones you upload going forward! 

On the Cohost AI Summary page, you'll see the content created by Cohost AI!

Here's what you'll see in each section: 

Episode Title Ideas: Click into an episode after it's uploaded and head to the Cohost AI Summary, and you will see that Cohost AI has provided several ideas for naming your episode. You can choose one of the titles provided, adjust an idea that you like, or write a custom title.

Episode Description: In the episode description field, you will see a draft summarizing your episode. You can read through the description and adjust it how you'd like!

Blog Post Draft: In your Cohost AI Summary, you'll also see a drafted blog post about your episode. You can copy the post and paste it directly into a third-party blog or website.

Social Posts: Cohost AI will generate three social posts for your episode. These are great to promote your episode through social media! You can share this content directly from your Cohost AI Summary or copy and paste these posts onto your social media platforms.

Pro Tip: While you cannot edit the social posts or blog draft within Buzzsprout, you can edit them as much as you want on your social media channels before you share the content!

Chapter Markers: Just above the Transcript section are your episode's chapters! Just click View Chapters to review and edit the chapters that Cohost AI selected.

 
Transcript: In the Cohost AI Summary section, click View Transcript on the transcription section, and you will be taken to the full transcription for that episode. You can adjust speakers and content as necessary.

The owner of your podcast can go to the Settings > Subscription > Cohost AI page to disable the feature.  If you’ve already used Cohost AI on episodes during your billing cycle, you will be able to schedule the feature to be disabled when your billing cycle renews.

Since Cohost AI is billed at the end of your billing cycle (unlike your regular subscription), you'll see one more charge on your monthly bill. The feature will then be turned off at the start of the next cycle! Note: Disabling the feature does not remove Cohost AI from episodes you've already uploaded—just from your episodes moving forward. 

Cohost AI is an optional add-on for any paid plan in Buzzsprout. The pricing will depend on which Buzzsprout subscription you're on:
