HOW IT WORKS
From recording to kit
Upload the episode
Upload a recording, or import a compatible episode from an RSS feed. Cicadas starts from the recording, not a disconnected text prompt.
Review the source
Read the transcript preview first, then use the full workspace after signup to confirm speakers, terms, and episode context.
Draft the Instagram captions
Create and run a saved custom prompt for Instagram captions; Cicadas grounds the draft in the episode transcript.
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.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
Can Cicadas create Instagram captions from a podcast?
Yes, through a saved custom prompt. Instagram captions is not a default Content Kit card, but you can create a transcript-backed custom asset and reuse its instructions for later episodes.
Why upload the recording instead of pasting a transcript?
Uploading keeps transcription, review, and the content kit in one workflow, which reduces repeated setup and missing context.
Who is Cicadas built for?
Cicadas turns webinars, customer interviews, podcasts and executive talks into publish-ready LinkedIn posts, newsletters and pull quotes for B2B marketing teams, in English and French.
Does Cicadas support custom prompts?
Yes. Saved custom prompts create additional transcript-backed assets; they do not override the fixed Content Kit cards. Saved show direction can guide the kit's tone and preferences.
Where can I compare current plans?
The pricing page lists the current recording allowance and workspace limits for each plan.
Can I keep different brand voices separate?
Each workspace has its own voice settings, glossary and custom prompts. Check pricing for the included workspace allowance.
