What is the Podcast Episode Outline Generator?
This online form calls an LLM through the WordPress REST API. It turns your prompts into a section-by-section roadmap—intro, main talking points, transitions, and wrap-up—ready for recording.
How does the AI craft an outline?
The backend feeds your inputs to a GPT-4 model, which applies narrative-design heuristics and returns HTML. The script inserts the markup into the result box within one round-trip (OpenAI Docs, 2023).
Which podcast formats benefit?
Interview, solo commentary, panel, and narrative shows all gain a clear flow that keeps listeners oriented and hosts on schedule (BBC Academy, 2021).
Can you adjust section timing?
Yes. Provide a total duration; the AI distributes minutes proportionally. Edit any segment lengths after copying to match your pacing.
Is your data stored?
The plugin sends transient text to the LLM and discards it after response; no content is logged on the server (Automattic Privacy Policy, 2023).
How fast is generation?
Typical outlines return in 4-10 seconds for prompts under 1,000 characters (OpenAI latency stats, platform.openai.com).
Do you need an account?
No sign-up. The page uses a nonce for security, so any visitor can generate outlines while protecting the endpoint (WordPress Developer Handbook, 2023).
How do you copy the result?
Click “Copy to Clipboard.” Modern browsers grant clipboard access via the JavaScript Clipboard API, confirmed in Chrome 66+, Edge 79+, and Firefox 63+ (MDN Web Docs, 2023).
