Write for the inbox
Choose the idea that matters to subscribers. Explain why it matters before inviting them to watch or listen to the full conversation.
Newsletters
Give subscribers an idea worth opening.
Turn a recorded conversation into a newsletter draft that develops one useful idea, with context for readers who have not heard the recording.
Newsletter drafts are included on paid plans and your first full-kit recording. Other Free recordings include LinkedIn posts and pull quotes. Saved brand voice applies on paid plans and your first full-kit recording. Other Free recordings use generic writing guidance.

HOW IT WORKS
From recording to kit
Start with the conversation
Upload the recording you want to work from. Listen for the argument, experience or explanation that deserves another audience.
Confirm the source
Review the transcript and confirm who is speaking before generation. Supply names and product terms in your glossary, and correct the source where needed.
Draft, edit and publish
Generate the output, review its wording against the conversation, and edit it in the app. Copy or export the finished draft for your publishing workflow; nothing publishes itself.
Upload MP3, WAV or M4A audio, or MP4 or MOV video. You can also import compatible podcast episodes from an RSS feed.
The per-file cap is 1 GB for audio and 10 GB for video. An upload must fit both the per-file cap and your remaining storage. Remaining storage is your plan’s quota minus stored media and space reserved for uploads or processing already in progress.
Extracted audio needs additional storage after a video is uploaded. An upload can fit initially but still exhaust storage during processing.
WHY CICADAS
Built around the weekly production job
Keep enough context
Introduce the speaker and the problem being discussed. Check that a quotation still means the same thing outside the original conversation.
Finish in your email workflow
Review and edit the draft, check names and links, then copy it into your email tool. Cicadas does not send the newsletter for you.
