ElevenLabs and Perplexity team up on AI podcast
ElevenLabs just partnered with Perplexity to launch Discover Daily, a short-form daily podcast covering breakthroughs in innovation, science, and culture. The show merges Perplexity's real-time search engine with ElevenLabs' synthetic voices to deliver automated audio briefings on the go, available now across major podcast platforms.
ElevenLabs and Perplexity just teamed up to turn real-time web search into an automated morning show.
The two AI startups rolled out Discover Daily, a short-form daily podcast covering the latest headlines across tech innovation, science, and culture. It is already available across all major podcast platforms.
Chaining live search to voice synthesis
The project essentially fuses both companies' core engines into an automated media pipeline.
Perplexity handles the legwork of scanning the live web, curating breaking stories, and generating summarized scripts with citations. ElevenLabs then takes those write-ups and turns them into natural-sounding speech, allowing listeners to catch up on the daily news hands-free.
Why it matters
We think this partnership is a neat look at where AI workflows are heading. Instead of treating text generation and voice cloning as isolated tools, connecting them creates a fully automated pipeline from web research straight to an audio broadcast.
For casual listeners, it is worth a quick spin during a morning commute if you prefer bite-sized audio updates. The catch is that completely automated news briefings still lack human nuance and personality, which can make daily listening feel a bit sterile over time.
Still, it is a smart experiment that hints at the future of hyper-personalized audio feeds. If automated pipelines like this eventually let users generate tailored audio roundups on demand, traditional news apps and podcast networks will need to pay close attention.
