Use LangGraph and ElevenLabs generate podcast episodes
LLMs made available by companies such as OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, and others can be useful for learning new things. I enjoy listening to podcasts and audiobooks, but there are some topics that may not have a lot of coverage. To bridge this gap, I set out to create an automated workflow where an LLM can generate the content for podcasts and a follow-up pipeline to convert this to audio files and ultimately a combined mp3.
Using advanced graph frameworks like LangGraph enables the decomposition of complex tasks such as generating a podcast from a basic prompt into manageable and repeatable processes involving multiple specialized subagents, ensuring a reliable output. This structured approach not only helps in enhancing the quality of content but also provides a systematic way to convert text into audio for podcast episodes efficiently.
