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.
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
- Users can log in or sign up to get started with the built-in user management system.
- The AI then generates podcast scripts and cover art, creating unique content automatically.
- Podcasts are stored in the user’s personal library, allowing for easy access and management.
- 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.
