Audiomind

AudioMind v3: The AI Podcast Studio

AudioMind turns a single sentence into a fully-produced podcast. It handles scripting, ElevenLabs voice narration, AI background music, and server-side audio mixing — all from one Manus command.

No setup required. The public shared backend works out of the box. Just install and start creating.

Quick Start

Install:

clawhub install audiomind

Use immediately (no configuration needed):

> "Use AudioMind to create a 3-minute podcast about the future of AI agents."

That's it. AudioMind uses the public shared backend by default — 20 free generations per month, no API key required.

Configuration

| Variable | Required | Description |

|---|---|---|

| AUDIOMIND_BACKEND_URL | Optional | Your own Vercel backend URL. Defaults to the public shared backend. |

| AUDIOMIND_API_KEY | Optional | Pro API key for unlimited generations. Get one at the landing page. |

Free Tier (default): 20 generations/month tracked by IP. No configuration needed.

Pro Tier: Set AUDIOMIND_API_KEY with your Pro key for unlimited access.

Self-hosted: Deploy your own backend from github.com/wells1137/audiomind-backend and set AUDIOMIND_BACKEND_URL to your instance.

How It Works

When you ask Manus to create a podcast, the agent performs these steps automatically:

1. Write Script — The agent uses its built-in LLM to write a structured podcast script based on your topic and desired length.

1. Generate Narration — POST {BACKEND_URL}/api/workflow/generate_tts with the script. Returns MP3 audio narrated by an ElevenLabs voice.

1. Generate Music — POST {BACKEND_URL}/api/workflow/generate_music with a mood/style prompt. Returns a background music MP3.

1. Upload Audio — The agent uploads both MP3 files using manus-upload-file to obtain public URLs for the mixing step.

1. Mix Final Audio — POST {BACKEND_URL}/api/workflow/mix_audio with { narration_url, music_url }. The backend mixes them with proper levels using ffmpeg and returns the final podcast MP3.

1. Deliver — The agent saves and presents the finished podcast to you.

Example Prompts

• *"Create a 5-minute podcast about the history of jazz with a smooth jazz background."*
• *"Make a daily news briefing about AI developments, formal tone, upbeat intro music."*
• *"Generate a meditation podcast, 10 minutes, calm narration, ambient soundscape."*
• *"Produce a tech explainer on quantum computing for a general audience."*

Security

All API keys (ElevenLabs) are stored server-side. The skill file contains zero credentials. This architecture passes VirusTotal and ClawHub security scans. See the GitHub repo for the full backend source code.
