AI CASTER

AI-Caster is a user-friendly application that empowers anyone to create, generate, and listen to podcasts with the help of AI. In this project, I focused on building an intuitive, scalable, and full-stack application that streamlines the podcast creation process.

AI-Caster in Action

What Does AI-Caster Do?

AI-Caster makes podcast creation easy and accessible to everyone. Whether you’re a content creator, storyteller, or simply experimenting with AI, the app allows you to:

  • Create podcast episodes from scratch with a simple interface.
  • Generate content such as podcast scripts and images using AI to save time and effort.
  • Listen to episodes within the app, ensuring a smooth, seamless experience.

My Work

  • Designed and developed a seamless user experience, focusing on simplicity and ease of use for new and experienced users alike.
  • Implemented AI-driven content generation for podcast scripts and cover art, integrating OpenAI’s GPT to provide creative content in just a few clicks.
  • Built a secure and efficient user management system using Clerk, allowing users to sign up, log in, and manage their podcasts with ease.
  • Ensured a scalable architecture by using Next.js for the frontend and Convex for backend services, optimizing performance and future growth.

How It Works

  1. Users can log in or sign up to get started with the built-in user management system.
  2. The AI then generates podcast scripts and cover art, creating unique content automatically.
  3. Podcasts are stored in the user’s personal library, allowing for easy access and management.
  4. Users can listen to their episodes directly within the app, simplifying the review and sharing process.

Tools and Technologies

Frontend

  • Next.js: A powerful framework for building full-stack, fast, and scalable web applications.
  • shadcn/Tailwind CSS: Used for creating modern, responsive, and visually appealing designs.

Backend

  • Convex: Backend-as-a-service that manages authentication, storage, and podcast data efficiently.

Utilities and AI

  • OpenAI GPT: Powers AI-driven content generation, making it easy for users to create podcasts with minimal effort.
  • Clerk: Manages user authentication and ensures secure login and registration processes.
  • Zod: Ensures reliable data validation, keeping the app’s data flow consistent and accurate.

Development

  • Bun: Speeds up the development process, helping to improve coding efficiency.
  • TypeScript: Ensures robust and type-safe code, preventing errors and increasing overall app reliability.

This project demonstrates my ability to integrate cutting-edge technologies into a cohesive, easy-to-use product. It also showcases how advanced tools like AI can be leveraged to enhance creativity and productivity in podcasting.
