EpisodeKit

Live: https://episodekit.vercel.app · Sprint map (live): https://episodekit.vercel.app/map · Built in the open — every decision, day log, and test is in this repo (docs/day-logs/), produced by an autonomous daily build loop running through November 2026.

38-second narrated demo: episodekit.vercel.app

The build story (for launch visitors): docs/build-story.md — how an autonomous agent built this in 22 logged sessions, receipts included.

Sample output, unedited — from the CC0 demo transcript in docs/samples/demo-episode.txt (see it rendered: samples page):

Titles: Attention and Version · The Attention We Keep Avoiding · Attention for Ordinary Weeks · Focus Changes Everything · … Summary: Attention compounds, the cost of an interruption is not the five minutes it takes… calendars beat to-do lists because a to-do item is a wish while a calendar block is a promise… Social pull-quote: "We budget our dollars, we calendar our hours, and then we let anyone with a notification spend our attention for free."

One episode → a month of content. EpisodeKit turns a podcast episode (audio file or transcript) into the full content package a creator spends hours writing every week: an article-ready writeup, community discussion kit, 5-day email series, social captions with pull quotes, a summary, and title ideas.

• Positioning/pricing: Pro $19/mo (incumbents Podsqueeze $9–89, Castmagic $19–699) — see RESEARCH.md (church-vertical origins + Day-7 pivot note).
• Hard product rule: religion-neutral — no religious-domain content anywhere (enforced by a permanent test gate).
• Plan: ROADMAP.md · daily log: docs/day-logs/ · changelog: CHANGELOG.md.
• Sprint: 2026-10-24 → 2026-11-24, one autonomous build session every day 09:00 (also updates site/status.json, which powers the live sprint map).

Layout

site/                 # static site, no build step (landing, app, free tools, map)
  tools/              # free no-signup tool pages (SEO wedge)
  status.json         # live sprint-map data (updated by the daily build loop)
api/                  # Vercel serverless functions
engine/               # deterministic content-suite engine + GLM path + tests
docs/                 # day logs, research, samples, submission kits

Develop & test

npm test                        # engine + ASR + license tests (60 total)
npm run sample                  # regenerate the committed sample package
node scripts/dev-server.mjs     # local site + API on :8931

Env vars (optional; product degrades gracefully without them)

• GLM_API_KEY — GLM chat completions (AI-enhanced artifacts)
• ASR_API_KEY / ASR_PROVIDER — audio transcription (Deepgram or Groq)
• LS_WEBHOOK_SECRET, LS_PRO_URL, LS_STUDIO_URL, LS_FOUNDER_URL, LS_VARIANTS — Lemon Squeezy payment rail (license keys activate instantly)

Honesty rules for agents working here

See "Hard rules" in ROADMAP.md — no fabricated progress or testimonials, no spam, verbatim-quote integrity, and the religion-neutral product constraint.
