Audio Brief — Turn your notes into AI-generated podcasts inside Obsidian

Hey everyone,

I’ve been building a tool I wanted to share with the community.

Audio Brief transforms your Obsidian notes into full podcast-style audio conversations. Not text-to-speech — actual AI-generated dialogue between two hosts who analyze, debate, and riff on your content.

Demo: [embedded video or GIF]

Three modes available (+ one exclusive to the full system):

  • The Boardroom — Succession-style strategic debate on your business docs (6-10 min)
  • The Roast — Comedy podcast that tears apart your writing with love (4-10 min)
  • The Briefing — Solo CIA-style intelligence brief, cold and precise (3-7 min)
  • :locked: Deep Trace — Intellectual detective duo dissecting your research (8-12 min) — available in the full Monolithos system

What I think makes it useful:

  • Works directly with your vault files (select notes, hit TRANSMIT)
  • Transcript auto-saves as .md back into your vault
  • 10 languages with native-quality voices
  • Audio player built into Obsidian — persistent playback across views
  • You can type custom direction to guide the conversation before generating

Privacy note:

Only the content of your selected notes is sent for processing. Your vault structure, other files, and metadata are never accessed.

5 free generations (full Pro quality) to try it out. After that it’s $9.90/month.

Install via GitHub (Community Plugin review pending):

I built this as part of a larger project called Monolithos — a sovereign Life OS built on Obsidian. Audio Brief is the first module available as a standalone plugin.

Would love to hear your feedback. Especially interested in:

  • Which mode you liked most
  • What kind of notes worked best as source material
  • Any bugs or rough edges

Thanks for being such a great community. Building on Obsidian has been a privilege.
