Let them ask out loud.
Your audience records a question in their own voice. You answer in yours. Each pair becomes a short episode with a transcript — published on your domain, not ours.

Mockup of the embedded ask widget: a visitor presses record, a waveform moves while they speak, and sending shows a thank-you note.
The whole install

One tag, no build step. Or skip even that and link to your hosted page. What a coding agent needs to install it for you is at /llms.txt.
From their voice to your show.
A question arrives as a voice.
A visitor presses record on your site — or types, if they'd rather. The recording is transcoded, transcribed, and lands in your inbox readable, so finding the one worth answering doesn't mean listening to twenty.
Mockup of the embedded ask widget: a visitor presses record, a waveform moves while they speak, and sending shows a thank-you note.
You answer in yours.
Record in the browser, or upload a file. The title, teaser and summary are drafted for you from both transcripts — and everything drafted is editable, and editing wins.
Mockup of the creator console: an inbox of transcribed questions, and the studio where an answer is recorded, the drafted title is edited, and a checklist turns green before publishing.
The pair becomes an episode.
Question and answer are spliced into one clean MP3 with real chapter marks, a full transcript, and generated key art in your palette, not ours. There's a podcast feed you can hand to Apple or Spotify, and every episode unfurls playable when it's shared.
How should I value startup equity against a lower salary?
Mockup of an episode player: one audio file, with the question and the answer as separately coloured segments of the scrub bar and chapter buttons to skip between them.
An archive you arrange.
You choose what leads
The newest answer is rarely the one you'd hand someone first. Pick the few your home page opens with, in the order you want them heard. Pick none and it shows your most recent, as it always did.
Browsable by subject
Episodes are filed under themes you confirm — never invented behind your back — and each theme is a real page on your domain. “I've covered that a few times” becomes a link you can send.
Their words. Your address.
A transcript is the thing people search for, and search credits whoever's domain it sits on. Point a CNAME at us and every episode, every transcript, the feed and the sitemap live on your own domain — structured as a proper Q&A page, so search engines read it as one.
Leave one day and the URLs are still yours.
Mockup of two addresses: the same episode moving from a subdomain of ours to the customer's own domain, where its transcript earns their search ranking.
You can always withhold. You can never grant.
Someone else's voice is not yours to publish. Every question carries four separate permissions, each an explicit checkbox for the asker — and your controls only ever subtract.
Voice
Never pre-ticked, and that isn't configurable. Withheld, the episode publishes with the transcript standing in.
Photo
Their photo appears only if they say so — and withholding a name withholds the face with it.
Name
Anyone anonymous shares one label — “Someone” — never a generated nickname that could tie their questions together.
Location
Typed by the asker or absent. Never guessed from an IP address.
And erasure is real: deleting an asker erases the person and keeps the answer — their voice comes out of the audio, the episode is rebuilt without it, and the key art is redrawn.
It reads your site before it asks you anything.
Give it your URL and it reads your pages and stylesheets, then proposes a palette, fonts, copy in your voice, a disclaimer that fits your field, and starter questions drawn from your actual subject. Shown beside a live preview — never applied silently.
Mockup of branding setup: Open Mic reads the customer's website, extracts its palette and fonts, and proposes a theme, a disclaimer and starter questions — applied only when accepted.
Built to be installed by an agent.
“Add Open Mic to my site” is increasingly typed at a coding agent. /llms.txt is the whole contract: every attribute, the layout that works, and the two headers that silently block a microphone.

Live on Pretty Smart Money.
Steph answers money questions out loud at pretty-smart.co — cream, terracotta, her fonts, her disclaimer. None of it looks like us, which is the point.
