Every founder knows they should have a podcast

…there’s a reason almost none do.

It’s not because you don’t see the value or won’t put in the effort. The format is the problem, not you.

Frequently asked questions

Does it actually sound like a real podcast, or like AI?

Hear it for yourself before you commit. Because a real human guest is having a real conversation, the episode sounds like one. We produce a free demo episode for every prospect so you can judge the quality with zero risk.

Will my guests agree to be interviewed by an AI agent?

Yes, and most of them enjoy it. The format is disclosed in the first invitation, and every guest gets a short warm-up before recording so they know exactly what to expect. The novelty tends to be a draw, not a barrier.

How is this different from tools like NotebookLM?

Those tools turn content into AI-only audio with no control. Mato interviews a real human expert, live, then produces a finished, publishable episode with transcript, chapters, clips, and cover art. Different category entirely.

Does the guest need any special hardware?

No. Your guest joins from their browser with the microphone they already have. Mato handles the recording quality on its end.

How do I control what questions get asked?

You set the direction before every interview. Give Mato the topics, talking points, and angles you want covered, and the agent builds the conversation around them, asking informed follow-ups in the moment.

How much control do I have over the final edit?

Complete control. You guide the direction up front, and nothing publishes without your sign-off. Any parts of the episode outside of the interview can be regenerated too. We’ll show you everything when we create your demo episode.
