Use Podcast Mode

Use Podcast mode in Chat when you want NEXT to turn findings into an audio-friendly recap that is easier to review, present, or share.

Podcast mode behaves like a narrative producer for spoken content. It works toward shaping findings into something that feels natural to listen to, not just easy to scan on a page.

It is useful when you want a narrative summary instead of a theme-by-theme workspace for investigation.

Before You Start​

  • Open the NEXT homepage inside the teamspace you want to analyze.
  • Start with a prompt that asks for findings, takeaways, or a recap.
  • Know who the summary is for so you can shape the tone and level of detail in the prompt.

Steps​

  1. Enter the topic you want summarized.
  2. Open the chat options menu.
  3. Select Podcast mode.
  4. Send the chat.
  5. Review the generated audio-friendly output.
  6. Refine the prompt if you want a different scope or angle.

When Should I Use Podcast Mode?​

  • When you want a spoken-style recap of findings.
  • When you need a format that is easier to review away from the detailed workspace.
  • When you want to share a high-level summary with stakeholders.
  • When you care more about flow, voice, and listenability than slide-style structure.

Tips​

  • Ask for a recap around one clear topic so the audio stays focused.
  • Mention the audience in the prompt when you want a more executive or operational summary.
  • Use Clusters or Evidence first if you need to investigate the topic before you turn it into a recap.

FAQ​

Q: What does Podcast mode change?​

Podcast mode tells NEXT to package the answer as an audio-friendly summary instead of a theme exploration workflow.

Q: When should I use Podcast instead of Slides?​

Use Podcast when you want a listening-friendly recap. Use Slides when you need a presentation-ready format for meetings or reporting.

Q: Is Podcast mode better for broad questions or narrow questions?​

It works best when the topic is narrow enough to produce a coherent recap without trying to cover too many unrelated themes at once.
