Metablogger: A podcast platform with interactive AI hosts

https://www.meta-blogger.com
1•alindor•9mo ago
MetaBlogger is a hybrid audio content platform where human creators establish channels but use AI technology to deliver their content instead of their own voices or faces. Human creators develop their AI metabloggers by selecting artificial voices, defining personality traits, and providing background information to establish how their metabloggers will interact with listeners.

These metabloggers can be replicas of the creators themselves or entirely fictional personas with distinct characteristics and response patterns. When creating content, human creators write scripts for individual sessions that are processed through language models for natural delivery. These scripts are converted to audio using text-to-speech technology and structured into chapters for optimal playback. Listeners primarily experience the platform passively, similar to podcast consumption, without needing to constantly provide input to keep content flowing. The platform's distinguishing feature is the ability for listeners to verbally interrupt the AI metablogger at any point during content playback to ask questions or engage in discussion.

When interrupted, the system processes the user's voice input, generates contextually appropriate responses using information from both the specific content and the creator's defined personality and background information, and delivers the response using the creator's selected voice. The original prerecorded content then automatically resumes from where it left off, creating a seamless experience that blends passive consumption with interactive capabilities.

This approach differentiates MetaBlogger from both traditional podcasts that lack interactivity and conventional AI assistants that typically require constant user prompting. The platform manages user accounts with token systems to control content creation capabilities and track usage of both content creation and interruption features.

Hi, YC! I just launched MetaBlogger, and I'd love your thoughts on it!

It's basically a podcast platform with a twist - instead of just listening passively, you can interrupt the AI host anytime to ask questions or chat. The cool part is that after your conversation, the content just picks up where it left off. Here's how it works: - Human creators (like you!) design AI hosts with custom voices and personalities - You write scripts for your content sessions - The platform turns these into audio using AI voices - Listeners can enjoy your content passively OR jump in to interact whenever they want

What makes this different from regular podcasts or AI assistants is that you don't need to constantly drive the conversation - the AI host does the talking, but you can jump in whenever you want.

Sorry if I violated rules. I had to add Show HN, but I didn't do it because didn't read everything carefully. Now I don't know how to change my publication.
