How to Use Agentic AI in Your Podcasting Efforts

The world of podcasting is evolving alongside the world of artificial intelligence. Now, podcast editors have tools that weren’t available just a few years back; tools capable of revolutionizing the podcast production process in ways previously unthinkable

One of these tools is agentic AI.

What Is Agentic AI?

Agentic AI is how we define artificial intelligence that is designed for autonomous action. It can make its own decisions and take independent actions in order to achieve specific goals. All of what it does comes with only minimal human intervention. 

It is capable of adapting to evolving circumstances, which differentiates it from more traditional artificial intelligence to date. Agentic AI is capable of learning from its environment, and from there, it can be proactive in pursuing its objectives.

What are the Potential Uses of Agentic AI in Podcasting?

When it comes to the world of podcasting, agentic AI can have many practical use cases. This is in large part due to the diverse, individual roles that make up the entirety of podcast production.

Generating Scripts and Content

One use of agentic AI is to help podcasters generate content and scripts. On its own, the AI can autonomously do research on any specific topic. It can gather information from articles, studies, and even trending topics that the podcast may be able to utilize. This can be of tremendous help to podcasts producers and hosts.

If there is a need to create outlines in a hurry, then the agentic AI can do so with minimal input from humans. It can be adapt to certain styles or tones as needed. In the event that the podcasters do not want the AI to draft scripts and outlines, then it can still proactively suggest new topics or episode ideas.

Editing Audio

When it comes to the audio, there are several use cases of agentic AI. To start with, it can be quite useful at removing any unwanted background noises. Should there be a need for it, the AI can also automatically adjust audio levels while enhancing the quality of your audio, to the point where reaching professional standards becomes easy.

As far as the dialogue is concerned, agentic AI can trim any moments of awkward silences. It can also remove filler words from the episode, so there won’t be any issues with either the host or the guest saying too many “uhm” or “ah”.

Video Editing

For those who plan on utilizing video as part of their podcast, agentic Ai can edit multi-camera footage. It is fully capable of analyzing the audio in order to detect the person speaking, which can lead to dynamic switching between camera angles.

Every video podcaster wants an engaging visual experience. With the help of agentic AI, the show can have just that without the need for any complex manual editing. At the very least, there will be minimal editing from an actual person.

Audience Analytics

Agentic AI can also be useful in analyzing both engagement metrics and listener feedback. In doing so, it can provide useful insights such as which segments of a particular episode were the most popular. It can also be useful in determining what topics resonate the most with your podcast’s audience.

Scheduling and Managing Show Guests

With the help of an agentic AI, it becomes much easier to manage the whole process of booking guests. It can autonomously find potential guests, reach out on your behalf, and then coordinate the scheduling.

Agentic AI can even be trusted to provide potential guests with some background information regarding your show, as well as some of the interview questions ahead of time. That way, once that person arrives, the process of interacting and working with them becomes much smoother and way easier.

If there’s one thing that can be said about AI, it’s the fact that they are here to make our jobs much easier. While there may be some concern that AI like agentic AI might make some roles obsolete, the truth is that despite their autonomous nature, there is still a need for AI agents to work with humans due to limitations in their precision and security.
