How it works

How to generate podcast show notes

A podcast episode being uploaded to Exemplary AI with the spoken language selected

What the show notes look like

Example format: illustrative, not output from a real episode
Our guest, a food creator, explains how she grew her channel by filming one long video a week and cutting it into short clips.

Highlights
- Why one long recording a week replaced daily filming
- How she picks the moments worth turning into clips
- The two numbers she checks after every upload
- What she would change if she started again today

A show notes template, filled in from the transcript

Most show notes follow the same outline: an episode description, the main points, timestamps, then links and credits. Show notes and Chapters write the first three from what is said in the episode; the links to guests, sponsors and resources are yours to add. Our podcast show notes template has the full outline with filled-in examples.

To compare tools before you choose, see our roundup of podcast show notes generators. For a video podcast on YouTube, the YouTube description generator covers the description box, and the podcast clips generator cuts the episode into short clips.

What it does

Show notes written from what was said

The AI show notes generator writes every line from the episode transcript, so the notes describe the episode you recorded rather than a generic template.

Description and highlights

Show notes open with a short episode description you can use in your podcast app listing, followed by the highlights listeners scan before they press play.

Chapters with timestamps

Select Chapters in the same run for a list of start times and titles to paste under the highlights.

A tone that fits your show

Pick professional, casual, technical or conversational before you generate, then edit the wording to sound like you.

More from one episode

Key quotes for social posts, title ideas, a blog post or a newsletter, generated from the same transcript without uploading the episode again.

Questions

Common questions

What should podcast show notes include?
Usually a short description of the episode, its main points, timestamps for each section, and links to the guests and resources mentioned. Exemplary AI's show notes cover the description and main points, Chapters adds the timestamps, and you add the links.
Is the podcast show notes generator free?
You can use it on the Free plan, which includes 200 one-time credits; files up to 500 MB and 30 min long; 720p video exports with a watermark. Transcribing the episode and generating the show notes both use credits from that allowance.
Can I generate show notes from a transcript?
Yes: show notes are written from the transcript Exemplary AI makes of the episode, so start from the audio or video. If the episode is already transcribed in your account, generate show notes from that transcript without uploading it again.
Can it write a podcast episode description?
Yes. The show notes start with a short episode description you can paste into your podcast host. For a video podcast on YouTube, the YouTube description content type writes a longer description with key points and hashtags.
Do the show notes include timestamps?
Not inside the show notes themselves. Select Chapters in the same run and you get a separate list of start times and titles to paste below the highlights.
Can I change the tone of my show notes?
Yes. Choose professional, casual, technical or conversational before you generate, and edit the result like any document afterward.
Which podcast files and links can I use for show notes?
Audio or video files (MP3, WAV, M4A, AAC, FLAC, OGG, MP4, MOV or WEBM), or a YouTube, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook, Vimeo or X link to the episode, such as a video podcast on YouTube. The episode is transcribed in any of 99 languages.
