What CastKit Prepares
- Source-Backed Guest Briefs CastKit gathers available source material and structures it into a guest brief your team reviews before the interview. Every finding is tied to its source so review is grounded and accountable - not guesswork.
- Topic Analysis CastKit analyzes the guest's published work and stated expertise to surface the topics most relevant to your planned conversation. Your team decides which angles to pursue and which to set aside.
- Suggested Interview Questions Based on the guest brief and topic analysis, CastKit surfaces interview questions the host and producer can refine before the recording. Questions are starting points - your team approves what moves forward.
- Reusable Production Context Approved research doesn't stop at the interview. CastKit preserves the guest brief, approved questions, and source context so the information carries into downstream production stages across the connected workflow.
How the Preparation Workflow Works
Four steps move a guest from name on the calendar to a production-ready research package your team has reviewed and approved.
- Prepare the Guest Brief CastKit pulls available source material and structures it into a guest brief - background, published work, and relevant context - ready for team review before the interview date.
- Review Topics and Source Context The production team reviews the topic analysis and source findings. Every suggested topic links back to its origin so editorial judgment stays with the people who know the show.
- Refine the Suggested Questions Hosts and producers review AI-suggested interview questions, adjust angle and order, and remove anything that doesn't fit the episode plan. The questions stay under editorial control throughout.
- Approve and Preserve the Context Once the team approves the research package, CastKit preserves it as reusable production context. Approved information carries forward into downstream stages - nothing is lost between steps.
