🎙️ Excited to share our entry for the Hugging Face Build Small Hackathon: Podify — AI Podcast Generator!

This hackathon feels different — it is not about building the biggest, most complex AI system. It is about building small, thinking small, and creating something focused, useful, and meaningful.

That idea inspired Podify.

Podify turns any topic into a finished, voiced podcast in two simple phases:

🧠 Content

Research agents use LangGraph, a Hugging Face-hosted LLM, and live DuckDuckGo search to research a topic and write a speaker-tagged podcast script.

🔊 Audio

The script is converted into a stitched podcast WAV using the self-hosted Fish Audio / OpenAudio S1-mini TTS model on Hugging Face ZeroGPU.

Podify also supports preset voices and zero-shot voice cloning from an uploaded clip or live mic recording — all inside one Gradio Space.

Small idea. Focused build. Real output.

Built for the #backyard-ai track of the Hugging Face Build Small Hackathon.
