Content marketing · How Founders Use AI
How do I launch a newsletter or podcast with AI doing the heavy lifting?
AI collapses both formats to under an hour a week: dump your week's notes into Claude with a template and edit the strongest thread into a newsletter (45-60 minutes on beehiiv), or record a conversation and let Descript or Riverside handle editing, show notes, clips, and titles. Gemini Notebook (formerly NotebookLM) can even generate a podcast-style audio discussion from your documents. Define your voice first; the platforms' AI writes the plumbing, you supply the perspective.
