Podcasting isn't hard.
Staying organized is.

Every tool does one thing — recording, editing, hosting. None of them run the show. So the work scatters, episodes slip, and most podcasts go quiet within a year.

01

The work is everywhere

Ideas in your notes app. Transcripts in Drive. Guest emails in your inbox. Nothing talks to anything else.

02

The cadence quietly slips

One missed week becomes two. Nothing reminds you, nudges you, or helps you catch back up.

03

Tools generate, they don't run

AI can write show notes. It can't prep your guest, track your backlog, or plan your next recording date.

30–60% of new podcasts go quiet within a year. Hello Engine exists to make sure yours isn't one of them.
✓ Free forever — no card needed

Your episodes show up when people ask AI.

Most podcasts are invisible to ChatGPT, Perplexity, and Google's AI answers. Every episode you publish through Hello Engine gets a clean public page — built for how AI search actually reads and cites content.

  • Full show notes and a question-and-answer section, structured the way AI tools pull answers
  • The technical markup that tells AI what your episode is and who's in it
  • A real, shareable link for every episode — no extra work, created from your transcript
  • You stay in control: make any episode page private with one click

You record the conversation. We make sure AI knows it exists.

Included in Grow
Plan + Record

Know your guest before you say hello.

Add your guest's bio and social handles. Hello Engine researches their public profile, writes tailored interview questions, and builds a full briefing doc. Your outline and guest prep — open on screen while you record.

  • Questions specific to your guest and your show's angle
  • Episode outline with segments and talking points
  • Host briefing: who they are, what to ask, what to avoid
  • Export everything as a Word doc before you hit record
