ElevenLabs brings GenFM AI podcasts to Studio in 32 languages

Ever since AI-generated podcasts went viral, most of us have run into the same annoying roadblock: the output sounds incredible, but you can't edit the script, change the voices easily, or commercialize the audio.

ElevenLabs is looking to fix that. The company has officially integrated its GenFM podcast generator into Studio, while also expanding mobile access to Android.

Just last week, ElevenLabs launched GenFM exclusively inside its ElevenReader iOS app as a personal listening feature. You could drop in a PDF, an article, or an e-book and listen to two realistic AI co-hosts discuss it on your commute.

Now, GenFM lives inside Studio, the company's long-form audio editor that feels like Google Docs for sound. That shift turns a fun personal listening trick into a real production suite.

Full editorial control over AI co-hosts

The workflow is pretty straightforward. You create a new project in Studio, select GenFM podcast, import your source material, and the system spins up a dynamic two-host conversation.

Unlike locked-down alternatives, Studio gives you hands-on control over the entire transcript. You can jump into the text editor, rewrite awkward lines, swap out voices, or add entirely new speakers to the conversation.

Global reach is built in right away, with support for AI-generated podcasts across 32 languages. Alongside the web update, GenFM is now available worldwide on the free ElevenReader Android app via the Google Play Store.

ElevenLabs has already been laying the groundwork in mainstream audio. Perplexity uses their tools to power its Discover Daily podcast, and the team recently collaborated with Andrew Huberman and Lex Fridman to dub their popular shows into Spanish, English, and Hindi. A post-launch note clarifies that Projects was rebranded to Studio in January 2025 and opened to all free users.

Why it matters

For writers, solo creators, and businesses sitting on backlogs of text, this practically eliminates the traditional friction of podcasting. You do not need expensive mics, studio time, or a co-host to spin up a broadcast-ready audio show from your existing research.

What makes ElevenLabs' approach smart is bridging the gap between automated generation and manual control. Products like Google NotebookLM proved that conversational AI audio catches attention, but creators cannot publish something they cannot edit. Giving users direct control over the script and commercial export rights makes this a viable production asset today.

That said, we think there is an obvious creative catch. As thousands of creators start generating AI co-host discussions from raw text, the conversational rhythms could quickly start feeling repetitive. The technology makes production effortless, but the burden remains squarely on creators to curate sharp source material and edit the dialogue so it does not sound like generic AI banter.
