Collaborative Studio

Record with real people
and AI co-hosts in the same virtual room.

Bring a guest into your Podnami studio, talk live in the browser (like Zoom), use in-room text chat for notes, and keep your AI co-hosts in the conversation.

Sign in to create rooms when your plan includes collaborative sessions.

Start a collaborative room from the dashboard, then invite your guest by link or code.

A remote podcast room, not just a meeting link

Collaborative sessions are built into the same Studio flow as your live AI co-hosts, scripts, soundboard, and multitrack exports.

Why collaborative sessions

Include friends and guests in your Podnami experience

The room is designed for creators who want a real person on mic without giving up the AI co-host workflow that makes Podnami different.

Live guests

Invite a co-host by link or code

Create a room, share the invite, and let another human join your Studio session from their browser.

AI stays in

Keep your AI co-hosts in the room

Your AI co-hosts still hear the conversation and can respond while humans talk naturally.

Fast coordination

Text chat for the awkward moments

Send quick notes like "I can't hear you" or "one more take" without interrupting the recording.


Workflow

From invite to recording in a few steps

It's easy to connect with your guests or friends for collaborative sessions, podcasting or content creation!

1

Create a room

Start from the dashboard and choose the conversation mode you want for the show.

2

Share the invite

Send the room link or join code to the person you want on mic.

3

Talk and coordinate

Use collaborative audio for the conversation and text chat for short production notes.

4

Record separate tracks

Capture human voices and AI co-host audio as individual tracks when the owner starts multitrack recording.


Production controls

Keep the room usable while you record

Remote audio always needs a safety net. Podnami gives the room owner practical controls without turning the session into a full video-conference product.

Owner moderation

  • Mute a guest when their audio is causing problems.
  • Remove someone from the room if the session goes sideways.
  • End the collaborative session for everyone from the Studio.

Room chat

  • Everyone currently in the room can see chat messages.
  • Chat is not saved and disappears when the session ends.
  • Muted guests can still chat, because mute is audio-only.

Recording

Built for cleanup after the live moment

Collaborative sessions are tied into the multitrack export work so an owner can capture cleaner material than a single mixed call recording.

Separate tracks for each speaker

When multitrack recording is on, guest microphones upload as individual audio tracks alongside the owner's track.

AI and soundboard stay organized

The same export flow can keep AI co-host tracks and production audio separate, making post-production easier.

Headphones still make the room better

Collaborative audio with support for remote guests. Browser echo cancellation helps, and Podnami also guards against peer-audio echo in transcription, but headphones are still the best way to avoid speaker bleed during real recordings.
