Deep dive into automating podcast show notes from Safari tabs

Creating comprehensive podcast show notes is a time-consuming but essential task. This new workflow automates the entire process, from collecting links to generating an episode title and description, by leveraging Safari Tab Groups and a powerful new shortcut. You can now transform a collection of open tabs into fully formatted show notes in seconds, freeing you up to focus on creating great content.

What's new

The new PTS Notes shortcut is designed to streamline your post-production workflow. By organizing all articles and web pages for an episode into a dedicated Safari Tab Group, you can copy all the URLs at once. The shortcut then takes this list from your clipboard, fetches the title of each page, formats them into both HTML and rich text, and uses AI to generate an SEO-optimized episode title and description based on the topics you select.

How to use this feature

  1. In Safari, organize all the web pages for your podcast episode into a new Tab Group.
  2. Right-click on the Tab Group in the sidebar and select Copy Links to copy all URLs to your clipboard.
  3. Run the PTS Notes shortcut, for example, from the macOS menu bar.
  4. A menu will appear with the titles of all the articles. Select the main topics you want the AI to focus on for the title and description.
  5. The shortcut will process the links and AI prompts, then create a new note in your preferred app (e.g., Bear) with the formatted title, description, and show notes.

Tips for getting the most out of this feature

For maximum efficiency, create a new Tab Group for each podcast episode as you do your research. Name the group after the episode number (e.g., "PTS 103") to keep things organized. While the AI-generated title and description provide a great starting point, always review and tweak them to match your show's unique voice and style.

Summary

Automating podcast show notes from Safari tabs is a massive time-saver for any content creator. This feature turns the tedious task of collecting, formatting, and summarizing links into a simple, two-click process. By integrating link collection with AI-powered content generation, you can produce high-quality, consistent show notes for every episode with minimal effort.
