Podcast Transcription Pipeline
Upload your podcast audio file and this n8n workflow transcribes the full episode using Whisper AI, cleans and formats the text, generates AI-written show notes, a keyword-rich summary, and 5 social media pull quotes — then publishes everything to your podcast page and repurposes content to your social channels. Podcast production agencies offer this as a $200–$500 per episode service that now takes under 10 minutes to complete.

Step-by-Step Setup
Create a dedicated Google Drive folder for podcast audio uploads. Set n8n to trigger when any new audio file (.mp3, .m4a) is added to this folder.
Use the OpenAI HTTP node to send the audio file to the Whisper API. Set the language, and enable speaker diarization if available. The transcript comes back as plain text.
Pass the full transcript to GPT-4 with the included prompt. It outputs: a 200-word summary, 5 key takeaways, 5 quotable pull quotes, and an SEO title and meta description.
Use the n8n WordPress node to create a new draft post with the episode title, show notes, transcript, and SEO metadata. Set to draft status for your final review before publishing.
Connect Buffer or Publer to auto-schedule the 5 pull quotes across your social channels over the following 2 weeks, keeping your audience engaged between episodes.
