AI is everywhere right now. Some creators see it as a threat, others think it's overhyped. In this episode of The Creator's Log, I share how I actually use AI in my podcasting workflow, and why I view it as an assistant rather than a replacement for creativity.

From developing episode ideas and refining outlines to creating show notes, social media captions, thumbnails, and even building a podcast website, I break down the real ways AI has helped me save time while keeping my voice and creative decisions intact.

I also talk about the mistakes creators make when relying too heavily on AI, why transcripts have become one of the most valuable tools in my workflow, and how I balance technology with the human side of podcasting.

Whether you're launching your first podcast, growing a creative project, or simply curious about how AI fits into content creation, this episode offers a practical look at what works, what doesn't, and where the creator still needs to stay in control.

• How I use AI to brainstorm podcast topics
