Audio Brief by Monolithos

Turn your notes into podcasts. One click.

Your research paper becomes a 12-minute detective duo dissecting every argument. Your business plan becomes a boardroom debate between two brutal advisors. Your journal becomes a comedy roast that makes you laugh at your own existential crisis.

This is not text-to-speech. This is AI-generated conversation with personality, drama, and insight.

What It Does

Select any note in your vault. Choose a mode. Press TRANSMIT. Audio Brief generates a full podcast-style conversation — two AI hosts analyzing, debating, and riffing on your content.

The audio plays right inside Obsidian. Download it. Listen on your commute. Share it with your team. A full transcript auto-saves as .md in your vault.

Four Modes

Mode	Vibe	Typical Duration
Deep Trace	Intellectual detective duo. BBC meets true crime.	8-12 min
The Boardroom	HBO Succession energy. High-stakes strategic debate.	6-10 min
The Roast	Comedy podcast. Sharp, witty, surprisingly insightful.	4-10 min
The Briefing	Solo intelligence brief. Cold. Precise. CIA morning dispatch.	3-7 min

Duration depends on the length and richness of your source notes. Longer, more detailed notes produce deeper conversations.
