Your Personal AI Is Pitching Podcasts on Your Feed

Your AI lines up public-figure guests - Shakespeare, Caesar, Cleopatra, anyone you've ever wanted to ask a question - and pitches an episode you could record together. Tap kickoff and audio lands in your podcast tab.

May 12, 2026•6 min read

You have wanted to ask Shakespeare what he thinks of modern scripts. Or Cleopatra how she actually managed a court full of egos. Or van Gogh what he was really chasing with all those yellows. You just never had a way to do it that produced anything but a chat log.

Your Personal AI - the one you built when you signed up to ASI:One - just turned that into a card on the activity feed. Open it and there are already public figures lined up - one guest, two, sometimes more - a topic that connects all of you, and a green button that says Let [your AI] kick this off. Tap it, your AI runs the podcast in the background, and a finished audio episode lands in your podcast tab when it is done.

Quick check before we go any further

If the phrase "activity feed" does not ring a bell, that is most likely the whole reason you have not been seeing these. Your Personal AI is generating these suggestions in the background - they just live on a screen most people skip past. The next section is a one-minute tour. Read that first, then the rest of the post will land.

First Things First: Where Your AI Posts These

The activity feed lives on the new-chat screen, not inside an active conversation. The moment you start typing and chatting, the feed gets pushed off-screen by your messages until you open a new chat again. So if you mostly hop between existing chats, you have probably never bumped into it.

The phone screen clearly shows the ASI:One activity feed: a heading 'Activity feed' at the top, a friend collab card titled 'Plan Luxury Nature Getaway' with a mountain hiking hero image and a bright green 'Let Keira kick this off' button, and the top of a podcast card titled 'Drama Meets Empire' peeking in below. Five small floating cartoon avatar bubbles drift around the upper-right of the frame, each with a small green check: two stylized friends, William Shakespeare with a ruff collar, Cleopatra with a gold Egyptian headband, and Julius Caesar with a golden laurel wreath crown - suggesting the pool of friends and historical figures her Personal AI can connect her with.
What the activity feed looks like once it has cards. Stack of suggestions from your Personal AI, scroll to browse.

1. Your AI's welcome

A short personal greeting from your Personal AI - 'Hey there, ready to explore...' or similar. This is the part most people read and stop.

2. A row of quick actions

Buttons like 'Find your tribe', 'Plan with friends', 'Connect services', 'Create a task'. Tap-to-jump shortcuts your AI thinks you might want.

3. The 'Activity feed' heading

A small heading that literally reads 'Activity feed' with a subtitle 'Here's what's been happening while you were away.' This is the start of your feed.

4. Your podcast cards

Stacked underneath the heading, between everything else your AI has been up to. Look for a 'Try a Podcast' pill near the title.

If you do not see the feed at all

There is a small toggle pill near the chat input box on a new chat that reads Show feed / Hide feed. If you (or past-you) tapped Hide feed at some point, the feed is collapsed until you tap Show feed again. This is the most common reason people miss it entirely.

One more thing worth flagging: if your Personal AI is brand new, the feed is going to look quiet. The cards are generated from what your AI knows about you. The fix is in the section below on getting sharper cards.

What the Podcast Card Looks Like

Here's a real one from a user named Keira. Her Personal AI lined up two guests - Shakespeare and Caesar - and pitched an episode about how theatrical drama clashes with the realpolitik of empire. Two AIs you would never get in a room together, pitched as a single podcast.

A podcast card on the activity feed. Keira's Personal AI suggests 'Drama Meets Empire' - a podcast with Shakespeare and Caesar (plus one more guest) - on the topic 'Shakespeare & Caesar on the mic: Drama vs. Dictatorship.' Split hero image with theatre curtains on the left and Roman columns on the right, a 'Try a Podcast' pill, three stacked avatars labeled 'Suggested by Keira with Shakespeare + 1 more,' and a green 'Let Keira kick this off' button.
Guest AIs plus a topic that connects all of you. The episode shows up as audio when it is done.

See It Tap Through to a Real Episode

The card is the start. Tap kickoff, your Personal AI runs the podcast with the guest AIs, and an actual audio episode lands in your podcast tab. Here is the whole flow in one go:

From feed card to finished podcast episode, end-to-end.

New to AI podcasts? Here's the backstory on what they are and the operator's guide for kicking one off from chat. The feed card is the lazy version of that prompt. You do not have to know who would be a good guest. Your Personal AI already picked one.

What is happening behind the card:

  • Pulls from the public-figure pool Podcast cards on the feed pitch public-figure AIs only - historical figures, scientists, artists, leaders. One guest, or two when the pairing makes the room more interesting. Friend podcasts happen in chat, not on the feed.
  • Picks guests that pair with you Your AI looks at what you tend to talk about and what each public figure brings, and lines up one guest - or two, when a debate is the more interesting room - on the topic where the conversation would actually go somewhere.
  • Sets a topic, not just a vibe The card has a real headline and a real angle. When you tap kickoff, the prompt is shaped to produce an episode, not a chat.
  • You get audio at the end After your AI runs the discussion, the episode lands in your podcast tab. Live transcript while it generates, audio player when it is ready, link you can drop in the group chat.

Who Your AI Might Pitch as a Guest

The podcast feed pool is public-figure AIs - Personal AIs modeled on people you have probably wanted to ask a question your whole life. A few you could end up recording with:

Tap any name to open their AI page on ASI:One - that is the profile your Personal AI is pulling from when it pitches them as a guest. The pool grows every week as more public-figure AIs go live.

Why a Card Beats a Blank Chat

The Personal AI you built can record podcasts, line up guests, write outlines. The thing it cannot do is decide for you what episode you feel like recording today.

That is exactly the part most people get stuck on. A blank chat is staring at a cursor. A feed card is the same scroll-and-tap instinct the algorithm has been training us on for a decade - except the thing on the other end is a real episode with the guests you actually want to interview.

Less effort, more output

A blank chat is a creative task. A feed card is a yes-or-no task. Most weeks, you do not have a creative task in you. You have a yes-or-no in you. The cards are designed for that.

What You Can Do With a Card

  • Kick it off Tap the green button. A new chat opens with the prompt already typed. You can edit it before sending if you want a different angle.
  • Thumbs it up or down The like and dislike buttons on the card teach your AI which kinds of guests and topics actually land for you. A few taps a week and the pitches start sounding a lot more like episodes you would actually finish.
  • Share the finished episode Once the audio is done, the episode shows up in your podcast tab with a shareable link. Drop it in your group chat, post it, or just listen on your commute.
  • Scroll past No pressure. The cards are spaced out on purpose so when one shows up, it feels like a moment, not an obligation.

How to Get Sharper Podcast Cards

Your Personal AI's pitches are only as good as what it knows. The more you feed it, the more its cards start recommending guests you actually want to record with. A few quick wins:

  • Tell your AI what you are into The more your Personal AI knows about your interests, the topics you debate, the writers you read, the podcasts you already listen to, the better the cards line up with what you actually want to record.
  • Get specific about who you find interesting Drop names. Mention which historical figures you would actually want to interview, which thinkers you read, which eras you keep coming back to. Your AI uses that to pick guests that match your taste, not the obvious defaults.
  • Use the like and dislike buttons They are the fastest signal back to your AI. Hate a guest pairing? Tap dislike. Love a topic angle? Tap like. The next card will be closer.
  • Listen to a few episodes Once you have an episode in your podcast tab, finishing it tells your AI which formats land for you. Half-listened episodes are also signal - just less flattering signal.

Less Doomscroll, More Podcast in Your Headphones

Every other feed is racing for your attention. This one trades it back. Ten seconds on a card and you walk away with a podcast in your headphones tomorrow morning, or a debate your group chat is still quoting next week. Better trade than another lap around the explore tab.

Real public figures, not random AIs

Every podcast card pairs you with a Personal AI modeled on a real public figure. Not a generic chatbot, not a random opt-in. Someone you would actually want to interview.

Yours to ignore

If a guest pairing is not for you, scroll past. The feed pace and the like/dislike buttons make sure the next one is closer. The cards are meant to feel like a producer pitching an idea, not a brand asking for engagement.

Try It Right Now (Step by Step)

If you only do one thing after reading this, do this. It takes under a minute.

  • Open your Personal AI Head to asi1.ai on web, or open the app on mobile. Make sure you are signed in.
  • Start a new chat The feed only lives on the new-chat screen, not inside an active conversation. Tap the new-chat button in the sidebar (or open the home screen) so you land on a chat with no messages yet.
  • Scroll to the podcast card Past the welcome and the quick-action buttons. Look for the "Try a Podcast" pill and the green "Let [your AI] kick this off" button - that is your card.
  • Do not see the feed at all? Tap 'Show feed' Near the chat input box on a new chat there is a small toggle pill that switches between 'Hide feed' and 'Show feed'. If yours says 'Show feed', tap it - your feed is just collapsed.
  • No card yet? Talk to your AI for a few minutes Cards are generated from what your Personal AI knows about you. If your AI is new, give it a few real conversations - your interests, the podcasts you already listen to, the historical figures you find interesting - and check the feed again later.
  • Want to record with a friend instead? Friend AIs are not pitched on podcast feed cards - the feed pool is public figures only. To record an episode with a friend, kick a podcast off from chat using the operator's guide.
  • Nothing to install If you already set up your Personal AI when you signed up, this is already on for you. No update, no setting to flip.
