What is an AI podcast show notes generator?
An AI podcast show notes generator writes the text that goes under an episode in podcast apps and on your website. You enter the podcast name, the guest if there is one, and a summary of the episode or highlights from its transcript, and it returns an episode title, a one-line description, a short summary, five to seven key takeaways, notable quotes, the topics in order as sections, a guest bio when a guest is given and a closing call to subscribe.
Show notes do two jobs. In a listening app they are what someone reads before deciding to press play, so the title and first line matter most. On your website they are the only text search engines can index for an episode, since they cannot listen to audio. Writing them after every recording is the chore most shows skip, which is why so many episode pages carry a single sentence.
The tool is careful about two things a podcast audience notices. Quotes are meant to come only from the text you paste, not from the model's imagination. And it does not guess timestamps: section times appear as [00:00] placeholders for you to fill from your editor. It does not listen to audio either, so you need a summary or a transcript excerpt to paste in.
The notes are written on the Toolz server. Your text is sent over HTTPS, the server builds the prompt and runs Gemma 3 1B, a small open model from Google, with Ollama, and the notes stream back as they are written. Unreleased episode details are used to write the reply and then discarded: they are not stored or logged, not used to train any model, and not sent to any third-party AI company. The limits: a 1B model can still reword a quote or add a detail to a guest bio, so check both before publishing. The summary field takes up to 8,000 characters, so paste highlights rather than a full hour of transcript.
It is free, no signup, within about 20 runs per 10 minutes. Alternatives are writing notes yourself while you edit, paying a producer, or a hosting platform's AI feature that processes your audio and transcript on its own servers.
How to write podcast show notes with AI
Enter the podcast and guest
Type the podcast name and, if the episode has one, the guest's name and role. Both are optional.
Paste the episode summary or highlights
Describe what was covered, or paste the key parts of the transcript, including any lines you want quoted.
Press Write show notes
The title, summary, takeaways, quotes, sections and guest bio stream in as they are written, usually within 20 to 40 seconds.
Add timestamps and publish
Replace each [00:00] placeholder with the real time, check quotes against the audio, then copy or download the notes.
What the show notes generator does
Complete show notes
Episode title, one-line description, summary, five to seven takeaways, quotes, section list, guest bio and a subscribe line.
Quotes from your text
The model is told to quote only lines that appear in what you pasted, so it does not put words in a guest's mouth.
Timestamp placeholders
Sections are listed in order with [00:00] placeholders instead of invented times you would have to catch and fix.
Guest bio when relevant
Add a guest and a short bio is written from what you give it. Leave it blank for solo episodes.
