From approved source to distributed content
The workflow is designed for teams that already have source material and need publishable audio or multi-format content without rebuilding their process.
1
Connect source material
Send the API the media & publishing documents, URLs, transcripts, tables, or feeds your team already uses.
2
Generate the content pack
Create audio, transcripts, slides, infographics, or short-form scripts from the same approved source.
3
Review with your existing process
Use the transcript and source-preserving structure for compliance, editorial, academic, or subject-matter review.
4
Publish where your audience listens
Route finished files into portals, LMSs, CRMs, newsletters, podcast feeds, or campaign systems.
Where this saves work
Why media & publishing teams use AutoContent API
- Audio editions of articles drive incremental engagement, but recording every article in-house is unaffordable
- Long-form features need video versions for YouTube and social distribution; current production runs into manual editing time per piece
- Newsletter audiences split between readers and listeners; producing two versions doubles workload without doubling content
- International audiences need content in local languages for global expansion

How does this affect our editorial voice?
The API preserves the source text — bylines, attributions, and authorial voice carry through to the audio version. It is not rewriting your journalism; it is reading it in a discussion or narration format.
Can we publish to Spotify/Apple Podcasts directly?
The API returns an mp3 plus metadata that drops into your existing podcast hosting workflow. Many publishers ship a parallel podcast feed alongside the website.
Multilingual editions for global audiences?
50+ languages. Common pattern for international publishers: original article in English, parallel audio in the publication's target language markets.
How fast is generation for breaking news?
Typical end-to-end time is under five minutes for a 1500-word article. Fine for daily news; tight for live-breaking events but workable with the right pipeline.
