Works With Any Transcript Source
No proprietary format — plain text in, formatted show notes out.
Any transcription tool
Otter.ai, Descript, Rev, Whisper, AssemblyAI, MacWhisper — if it outputs plain text, this automation works with it. Speaker labels are fine and actually improve quote extraction.

The workflow uses GPT-4o-mini — the fastest and cheapest OpenAI model. A typical 45-minute episode transcript costs approximately $0.003. Run 100 episodes and spend $0.30.

The AI prompt is in the HTTP Request node body — plain text, no coding. Change the tone, add sections, request a different language, or adjust the output format in seconds.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I send my transcript to the automation?
POST a JSON payload to your n8n webhook URL with podcast_title and transcript fields. You can use Hoppscotch, Postman, or any HTTP tool. The setup guide includes a ready-to-use request template you can copy and edit.
What does it cost per episode in OpenAI fees?
Approximately $0.003 (less than half a cent) for a typical 45-minute transcript using GPT-4o-mini. You need your own OpenAI API key — pay only for what you use, no monthly subscription.
Which transcript formats does this accept?
Any plain text — exports from Otter.ai, Descript, Rev, Whisper, AssemblyAI, or any tool. Speaker labels like "John: ..." work fine. The only requirement is at least 100 characters of text in the transcript field.
Can I customise the output format?
Yes. The AI prompt is in the HTTP Request node body as plain text. Edit it to change the output structure, tone, language, or add custom sections — no code changes needed.
Do I need a paid n8n or Make.com plan?
No. n8n cloud's free tier supports webhook triggers. Make.com's free tier (1,000 operations/month) covers approximately 200 episodes per month — more than enough for most podcasters.
