Hey builders 👋
This might be useful if you’ve ever had trouble **explaining your AI/n8n automation services to normal humans** — especially business owners who don’t live in our world.
I’m not an influencer or anything, just someone who’s been building with AI + n8n for a while. After struggling with client comms, I built this system to let **AI explain my services better than I can.**
Instead of writing long proposals or pitching, I now generate a podcast episode from my service description — and repurpose it automatically into content that’s easier for clients to digest.
Here’s the breakdown of how the workflow works:
---
### 🌍 What It Does
This n8n automation turns a **service description** into a:
- 🎙️ Spotify-style podcast (2 people having a smart conversation)
- 🎥 YouTube video (with SEO-optimized title + description)
- ✍️ Blog article (structured, readable, and optimized for business owners)
---
### 🧠 The Core Idea
> Clients don’t understand what we do — but they do understand podcasts, videos, and blog articles.
So, I use AI to simulate a natural conversation about my service (like a podcast), then automatically:
- transcribe it
- structure it
- and publish-ready content is generated in one flow.

### 🔧 The Workflow in Detail
1. **📥 Input: Airtable with a 'New' record**
- Contains a long service description
- Prompt template for the AI podcast
- Link to the audio file created with Google NotebookLM
2. **🎧 Audio Processing**
- n8n downloads the audio from Google Drive
- Uploads it to Google Cloud Storage
- Sends it to Google Speech-to-Text
- Waits for the transcription to finish
3. **📝 Transcription**
- Full transcript is stored back in Airtable
- Used as the base for content generation
4. **🤖 Content Generation (with Gemini via LangChain)**
- AI analyzes the original prompt + transcript
- It generates:
- A podcast title + description (Spotify)
- A YouTube title + description
- A blog article with SEO headline, summary, and markdown content
5. **📤 Content Saved**
- All three outputs go back into Airtable fields
- Airtable now holds a full content pack for the service:
- Podcast
- YouTube
- Blog
6. **🧹 Clean Up**
- Deletes the audio file from GCS to save space

### 🧪 Why I Made This
It’s not a product — just something that worked for me. I used to spend hours trying to explain my work to potential clients. Now I send them a podcast or blog article, and they just “get it.”
I’m sharing this because I know many of you are sitting on amazing workflows that are hard to describe to outsiders. This might be a bridge.
No hype. No funnel. Just hoping it sparks something for others.
Let me know if you want to see how the Airtable is set up or want a copy of the NotebookLM prompt I use. Happy to help 🙏
