01
Document trigger
A structured Google Doc starts the workflow and gives the system the episode source material.
Systems & Automation
Google Docs to Audio Workflow
Complex Google Docs-to-audio publishing workflow that generated image prompts, AI artwork, narrated audio, custom interludes and a stitched draft ready for client review.
Context
What needed to be made clearer
The client needed a repeatable way to turn structured Google Docs into podcast-style episodes without manually briefing image generation, recording narration, editing interludes, stitching files together or preparing the final upload by hand.
What was built
The useful version came from a few deliberate parts
The work was scoped around what needed to move, connect or become easier to understand.
- Google Docs intake and trigger flow
- Image prompt generation workflow
- AI audio and interlude production
- Python-based stitching and export pipeline
- Publishing API draft handoff
- Google Docs content extraction
- Midjourney image prompt workflow
- ElevenLabs voice and custom interludes
- Python media processing
- Publishing platform API request
Production flow
One document becomes a produced draft
The work is easier to scan as a chain of production steps rather than one large technical block.
02
Prompt generation
The content is turned into visual prompts that match the client's design direction.
03
Image creation
Midjourney generates artwork and supporting visuals that stay aligned with the episode.
04
Voice and interludes
ElevenLabs creates the narration and custom section breaks for a produced feel.
05
Python stitching
Scripts assemble narration, interludes and generated assets into one finished output.
06
Draft publishing
The finished episode is sent through an API as a draft before the client publishes to Spotify.

Stack / tools involved
The pieces behind it
The important part is not the tool list. It is what each piece is responsible for in the workflow.
01
Source and orchestration
Google Docs acted as the structured source, with the application trigger pulling content into the workflow and coordinating each downstream step.
02
Generation services
Midjourney handled visual assets while ElevenLabs generated voice audio and custom interludes for the episode structure.
03
Assembly and publishing
Python scripts stitched the media together before an API handoff created a draft in the publishing platform for client review.
Useful for
Where this pattern fits
Businesses that need long-form written content turned into produced audio, podcast-style episodes or media packages with a human approval step before publishing.
Primary capability
- Multi-step automation
