Convert podcasts to LinkedIn articles with WayinVideo and GPT-4o-mini

Description

Submit your podcast or video URL using a simple form and the workflow automatically transcribes the full episode with speaker labels and timestamps. GPT-4o-mini then reads the transcript and writes a complete LinkedIn newsletter article — headline, 400–600 word body, five key takeaways, and hashtags — following seven LinkedIn readability rules. The finished draft is saved to Google Sheets with a Status of "Draft" so you can review and publish when ready. Built for podcast hosts, content marketers, and personal brand builders who want to turn every episode into a LinkedIn article without writing from scratch.

What This Workflow Does

- Transcribes your podcast with speaker labels — [WayinVideo](https://wayin.ai/api/) processes the full episode and returns each segment attributed to the correct speaker with timestamps - Polls automatically until transcription is complete — Waits 60 seconds then checks the status repeatedly every 30 seconds until the transcript is ready, with no manual monitoring needed - Formats the transcript for AI analysis — Structures every segment as speaker name with timestamp so GPT understands who said what and when - Writes a complete LinkedIn article — GPT-4o-mini produces a headline, full 400–600 word article body, five key takeaways starting with action verbs, and 5–8 relevant hashtags - Applies LinkedIn readability rules — The AI follows seven specific rules: short paragraphs, strong opening hook, human conversational tone, no filler, consistent tone throughout, and a closing CTA - Saves the draft to Google Sheets — Appends a row with headline, article, key takeaways, hashtags, word count, episode duration, and Status set to "Draft" — ready for your review before publishing
