Orion on your nose, Llama in the Lab, openAI Advanced Voice on the Mic

Hey there, AI enthusiast!

Vincent here, your friendly neighborhood AI enthusiast. Ready for this week's dose of mind-blowing multimodal AI goodness? Let's dive in!

?? This Week's Multimodal AI Highlights

First up, let's talk about the Podcast Generator! ?Last week we talked about notebookLLM from Google as a tool to create podcast. The problem is , you can’t add your voice to it! So, I created an open source app where you can do exactly that! This open-source project empowers you to convert text articles into compelling podcast episodes using OpenAI's GPT-4 and ?your voice via ElevenLabs' TTS tech. Finally, deploy it on Replit and voila! You're a content creator without having to utter a word yourself. This tool is not only about efficiency, but customization too, allowing you to tweak voice personas and prompts until it sounds just like "you." Just think—Vincent and Marina discussing the latest in AI on your podcast! : https://www.buzzsprout.com/2406172/episodes/15826170-orion-on-your-nose-llama-in-the-lab-openai-advanced-voice-on-the-mic.mp3?download=true

[Check out the project here](https://github.com/vincentsider/nextpodcast).

Bottom line: It's a game-changer for content creators. Who needs a studio when you've got GPT-4 and ElevenLabs??
