We want to give data a Voice, literally!

Hello again PH! 👋

During one of our recent user demos, a tester said something like: "I love the result dashboard, but my CEO doesn't. He never looks at graphs. He wants a table… or a quick voice note explaining what's going on."

That single insight sparked what became one of our most powerful features: the Podcast Node

The result we wanted was clear: just turn data into a voice, instantly (30s to 1.30min).

If you missed, Datastripes is a no-code, in-browser data engine for exploring, analyzing, and explaining data, all in one visual canvas, zero setup, no backend.

You build logic with drag & drop nodes, connect your dataset, and generate AI-powered insights automatically.

So, what's the Podcast Node?

It's a plug-and-play block you can add to any data flow in Datastripes.

Here's how it works:

1. Connect the Podcast Node to any previous insight-generating node (charts, KPIs, summaries…)

2. Write a natural language prompt, like:

   “Explain this month's sales trend in a confident but friendly tone. Mention our key growth metric, and note any regional drops.”

3. The node generates a voiceover, using high-quality AI voice synthesis, based on your prompt and your live dataset.

4. Download the audio as an MP3 or embed it in your reports.

Then, in less than 50 seconds, you've gone from raw data → AI insight → human-grade audio summary.

🔥 Why This Changes Everything

📉 Dashboards are often ignored.

📄 Reports get skimmed.

📢 But audio? It's personal. Digestible. Mobile-friendly. It gets heard.

And no other analytics tool (to our knowledge!) has this functionality built-in.

With Podcast Node, data teams become narrators, not just number-pushers. We believe data must be consumed, not only extracted. And we made it for solo makers building investor updates or user reports, data teams sending internal recaps to execs, Ops/Product/Sales leads who want async status updates and anyone whose audience won't read another dashboard.

It's available from August 13th (in early access)

✅ Drag & drop node logic

✅ AI-generated data summaries

✅ Podcast Node with voice synthesis

✅ Browser-native. No backend. No setup.

We're beyond excited about this direction, and curious how you would use it.

Would love your feedback, use cases, or prompt ideas!

And if you're stuck, I'm happy to help you craft your first audio-generating flow. 🙌
