Pod Cog - Complete Podcast Production

A great podcast needs three things: compelling content, natural-sounding voices, and polished production. CellCog delivers all three.

• Content quality: #1 on DeepResearch Bench (Apr 2026) — scripts built on deep reasoning, not surface-level takes
• Voice quality: Frontier multi-voice dialogue with natural delivery, emotion, and pacing across distinct speakers
• Production quality: Automatic intro/outro music generation, mixing, and final MP3 delivery — all from a single prompt

How to Use

For your first CellCog task in a session, read the cellcog skill for the full SDK reference — file handling, chat modes, timeouts, and more.

OpenClaw (fire-and-forget):

result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    notify_session_key="agent:main:main",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)

All agents except OpenClaw (blocks until done):

from cellcog import CellCogClient
client = CellCogClient(agent_provider="openclaw|cursor|claude-code|codex|...")
result = client.create_chat(
    prompt="[your task prompt]",
    task_label="my-task",
    chat_mode="agent",
)
print(result["message"])

Chat Mode for Podcasts

Use "agent" for most podcast work. Episode scripts, show notes, and interview prep execute well in agent mode.

Use "agent team" for deep work - researching complex guests, planning multi-episode narratives, or developing comprehensive content strategies.

Example Prompts

Full episode script:

"Write a complete script for a 30-minute podcast episode: Show: 'Design Matters' - UX/product design podcast Episode: 'Why most redesigns fail' Format: Solo episode with examples Cover: 1. The redesign trap (why we love to redesign) 2. Case study: 3 famous failed redesigns 3. Framework: When to redesign vs iterate 4. How to do a redesign right 5. Listener action items Tone: Authoritative but conversational, include specific examples Length: ~4,000 words spoken"

Full Audio Production

When you request a full podcast episode with audio, CellCog produces a complete, ready-to-publish file with this default structure:

[Intro Music] → [Dialogue/Conversation] → [Outro Music]

CellCog generates all three parts automatically — the multi-voice dialogue AND short intro/outro music tracks — then stitches them into one final MP3.

Customizing the Music

You can control the intro and outro music in your prompt:

Specific direction:

"Intro music: 8 seconds of upbeat electronic, think tech podcast energy. Outro music: 6 seconds of the same theme but softer, winding down."

Genre/mood direction:

"Use jazzy lo-fi intro music and a calm acoustic outro."

Let CellCog decide:

"Choose intro and outro music that fits the topic."

If you say nothing about music, CellCog will choose something appropriate for your topic and tone.

What You Get

Example with Music Direction

"Create a 10-minute podcast episode: Topic: Why startups should hire generalists first Format: Interview between a host and a 3x founder Tone: Casual, insightful, with some humor Intro music: Upbeat indie rock, 8 seconds, energetic but not overwhelming Outro music: Same vibe but mellower, 6 seconds Or if you prefer: just say 'Choose music that fits' and CellCog will pick."

Tips for Better Podcast Content

1. Know your format: "Conversational interview" vs "structured interview" changes the prep.

1. Share your voice: Give examples of your speaking style so scripts sound like you.

1. Context on guests: More background = better, more unique questions.

1. Specify length: "25 minutes spoken" helps calibrate script length.

1. Include CTAs: Tell us what actions you want listeners to take.

1. Think about chapters: Modern podcast apps support chapters. Plan for them.
