Yodai — Your Codebase Has a Story. Now It Has a Podcast.
You're shipping code every day. Solving real problems. Making architecture decisions that matter.
Nobody outside your team knows.
Yodai turns your codebase into a fully produced podcast episode — two AI hosts, studio-quality audio, auto-published to your own Spotify show — in the background while you keep coding. No script. No microphone. No editing.

Who this is for
- Indie builders & solo devs building in public — turn every milestone into shareable content without leaving VS Code
- Engineering teams who want architecture retrospectives people actually listen to instead of ignoring
- Open source maintainers who want their project to have a voice beyond a README and a landing page
- Any developer who wants to build technical credibility without becoming a full-time content creator
What you get
Each episode is fully produced in the cloud — nothing to configure, nothing to record:

How it works
- Open your project in VS Code
- Run Yodai: Generate Code Podcast from the command palette (
Cmd/Ctrl+Shift+P)
- Yodai scans your codebase and feeds it to Claude for deep analysis
- A podcast script is generated, then queued for cloud audio synthesis
- Two AI voices record the episode — you get a Spotify link notification when it's live
The whole process runs in the background. You keep coding. The episode lands in your feed.
