PodDesk
An end-to-end production studio for indie podcasters.
Record, transcribe, split, publish, monetise — and automatically cut 30-second clips for every social channel.
WHY IT WORKS
PodDesk is a studio that fits in a browser tab. Hosts record a session, an editor agent listens along and tightens pauses, chapters split themselves, and ad breaks slot in according to the show's sponsor calendar. What used to be a weekend of post-production becomes a cup of coffee.
The platform also handles distribution and money. An RSS generator publishes the feed to Apple, Spotify and YouTube; an analytics service tracks listen-through and drop-off per segment; a sponsor-slot service sells and schedules dynamic ad spots per market. Short-form clips for Reels, Shorts and TikTok are cut automatically from the same episode and tagged with the right moment-level captions.
PodDesk is a perfect case of the AIMicroservices thesis: ChatRecorder, Billing, AuthGate and ProductCatalog carry 60% of the stack; a thin layer of new microservices makes it a podcast studio specifically.

How the microservices wire up.
Read top to bottom. Channels are where people arrive, orchestration is how the AI thinks, domain is the startup-specific logic, data & identity keeps the source of truth, and platform is the invisible glue.
