TRANSCRIPT QUALITY

The transcript is the foundation.

Cicadas is built to keep names, technical terms, accents, and overlapping speakers readable, because every output in the kit depends on the transcript underneath it.

We talked over each other there, but the key point is the glossary catches OVH, Supabase, and Rue Oberkampf.

CUSTOM PROMPTS

Your voice, your prompts

Start with a strong default draft, then shape the content kit with prompts that match your show: direct, careful, playful, technical, or whatever your audience knows as you.

Learn more about custom prompts

Strong default first. Your prompt layer underneath.

Default output

Subject: The question your audience keeps dodging

Preheader: A direct note from this week's conversation

Body: This episode starts with a practical tension, then turns into a useful rule of thumb your listeners can apply this week.

Your voice, your prompts

  • Use my direct, slightly playful show voice
  • Open with the strongest idea, not episode logistics
  • Keep the newsletter skimmable
  • Avoid hype words and generic AI phrasing

FOUNDER NOTE

Built by a working podcaster.

I built Cicadas because I run my own podcast and I was tired of the same problem every week. A good episode would land, and then I'd spend another three hours writing the show notes, the newsletter, the social posts — and the AI tools I tried either produced output that didn't sound like me, or needed so much editing I wasn't saving any time.

So I built the tool I wanted. Transcript quality I can trust. Prompts I control. One upload, the whole kit.

I'm building Cicadas in the open, and founding members shape the roadmap. If that sounds like you, the early seat is yours.

Founding members get the early seat.
