Help CenterUse this guide to run the live two-host experience labelled Studio Podcast. You will configure two different Characters, guide listener questions during the timed session, and save your own notes before the temporary experience ends.
Studio Podcast is different from the prepared podcast generated in Productivity. The live experience does not currently ask you to select a saved AI employee.
Before you begin
- Prepare a clear topic that includes enough business context for both hosts to understand the purpose without a saved AI employee.
- Choose two different Characters that you are allowed to use.
- Preview the response options and voices available to your account.
- Decide whether current outside information is necessary. Leave web research off when the topic can be handled without it.
- Review your usage-credit balance and any value shown in the current flow.
- Prepare a separate place to save important notes. Do not depend on the live episode, recording, or transcript remaining available after you leave.
- Close other browser tabs or applications using the microphone or speakers.
Steps
1. Open Studio Podcast
Open Studio Podcast from the workspace navigation. Review the full setup before starting because the episode is live and temporary.
2. Choose two different Characters
Select a different Character for each host. If a suitable Character is missing, leave the setup and create or update one under Customization → Characters, then return.
3. Choose a response option and Voice for each host
Select from the response options and voices currently offered for each host. Use different voices so listeners can distinguish who is speaking. Preview them where the workspace provides that control.
4. Enter the episode topic
Write a topic that includes:
- The subject and intended audience.
- The business or learning context.
- The main questions or sections.
- Any boundaries or claims the hosts should avoid.
- The desired closing takeaway.
Because this flow does not currently select a saved AI employee, do not assume it automatically carries that employee's instructions or business knowledge.
5. Review Web research
Turn on Web research only when the episode needs current outside information. Review any outside claim before reusing it, and do not enter passwords, payment details, private customer records, or secret connection values in the topic.
6. Review usage credits
Check the available balance and any usage information shown in the setup. Do not rely on a hardcoded price or allowance from an older guide.
7. Start the episode
Start once after reviewing both Characters, both voices, the topic, and the research choice. Wait for both hosts to join before treating the episode as underway.
If one host remains unavailable, end the incomplete session and begin again after checking that host's Character, response option, and voice.
8. Follow the remaining-time display
Use the remaining-time display to plan audience questions and the closing. The experience reviewed for this guide runs for five minutes, but the live display in your workspace is the current source of truth.
9. Send a listener question
Type a concise listener question. Mention a host by name when you want to direct it to that host. Wait for the current speaker to finish before adding another question so the discussion remains clear.
10. Save notes outside the session
Copy only the important, verified takeaways into your approved notes system while the episode is still available. Record sources for any factual claims you plan to reuse.
11. End the episode
Use the available end control when the episode should stop early. Save your notes first, then close any active microphone or audio session.
Expected result
Both selected hosts join, the active speaker is visible, and the remaining-time display counts down during a live discussion of the requested topic. Listener questions can be directed to a host, and the session ends through the available control or when its time completes.
Status meanings
A live or active session is currently using the selected hosts and topic. The remaining-time display shows how long the current session can continue. An ended or completed session is no longer live. If the hosts do not join or an error appears, end the attempt, review the setup, and avoid repeatedly starting duplicates.
Usage credit impact
The setup asks you to review your usage-credit balance before starting. This guide does not publish a fixed episode price, rate, or allowance because those values can vary. Use the current workspace display and avoid repeatedly starting incomplete or duplicate sessions.
Information stored or shared
- The live experience uses the topic, Character choices, response options, voices, and listener questions you enter.
- Turning on Web research allows the episode to use current outside information; verify outside claims before relying on them.
- Do not assume the live episode, its recording, or its transcript is saved after you leave. Save only the necessary verified notes separately.
- A copy saved outside Aivah is controlled by the destination where you place it. Follow your organization's approval and data-handling rules.
Limits and permanent actions
- Studio Podcast currently does not ask you to select a saved AI employee. Include the needed context in the topic rather than assuming saved knowledge or instructions are attached.
- The live experience is temporary. Do not promise a replay, recording, or transcript unless you have verified one exists in your current workspace.
- Both hosts should join before the episode is treated as started. Continuing with one host produces an incomplete experience.
- The reviewed experience shows five minutes. Use the live remaining-time display because the duration may change.
- Ending an episode stops the current live session. Save important notes before ending or leaving.
- Available Characters, voices, response options, research controls, and usage values can vary by account.
Common problems and recovery
Only one host joins. End the episode. Confirm two different Characters, both response options, both voices, and the browser connection, then begin again.
A Character or voice is unavailable. Leave the setup, check the item under Customization, and replace any deleted or unassigned choice before returning.
No sound plays. Check speaker volume and browser sound permission, close other audio sessions, confirm both selected voices, and refresh before starting another episode.
The topic produces a vague discussion. End the session, rewrite the topic with audience, context, key questions, boundaries, and a closing outcome, then restart once.
A current fact appears wrong or unsupported. Do not reuse the claim. Check an approved source, correct your notes, and run another episode only if the live discussion is still necessary.
The recording or transcript is missing. The current experience is temporary. Check your own saved notes, but do not assume a missing recording or transcript can be restored.
Next step
Use Choose companions, Characters, backgrounds, and voices to prepare better host options. For a reusable audio item generated from an AI employee's approved knowledge, follow Create slide decks, podcasts, and mind maps instead.
