Making a podcast episode usually means a relay race between tools: a doc for the script, an app for voices, another for the edit, another for mastering, and a folder of exports nobody can find. Every handoff drops a little context. CastGenX is an AI podcast studio I designed around one idea: the episode is the workspace.

Creators don't lose time in any one step; they lose it between steps. The interface had to carry a single episode from script to delivery without anyone rebuilding context along the way.

I led product and UI direction, built the front end and the launch website, and made most of the backend and database decisions. Pro Tools is a design reference; no affiliation is claimed.

Editors already know where their hands go. I modeled parts of Edit / Mix on familiar Pro Tools patterns, so the timeline feels like home, while the workspaces around it connect the rest of production.

Script, Generate, Edit / Mix, Master, Media and Deliver: six workspaces, one episode, with Analytics added in the public tour. Each tab opens with its task and points to the next handoff, so the episode never gets lost between steps.

Instead of a feature list, the launch site treats disconnected tools as suspects in a fictional investigation. A tabbed product tour walks visitors through the studio, and the waitlist is never more than a scroll away.

Before: script, voices, edits, mastering and delivery lived in separate tools, and context leaked at every handoff. After: one episode moves through connected workspaces, and the live launch site tells that story through a seven-workspace tour, pricing and an open waitlist.

Next, I want to watch creators take a real episode from first draft to delivery and see exactly where they pause, double back or second-guess an automated step. That's where the next version comes from.
