Maidio is a smart app that turns RSS feeds into fun, conversational audio you can listen to anytime. It creates natural chats between a virtual host and assistant, making news easy and entertaining to follow. You need OpenAI API Key to use it.

Hello everyone, I’m excited to share this small app I created on ProductHunt. I subscribe to a lot of RSS feeds but never have the time to read them. However, I often spend 1-2 hours commuting or doing housework, so I started thinking about how I could turn my RSS feeds into audio to make better use of that time. During the product development process, I was really impressed by the podcast generation feature in NoteBookLM, so I decided to incorporate something similar. After several weeks of development, Maidio was born, and I’m happy with the results. However, OpenAI’s TTS API turned out to be a bit pricey. Fortunately, by downloading the language packs in the settings, I was able to use Apple’s built-in TTS, which delivers a pretty good result. So, I added local TTS support to the app. If you read a lot of RSS feeds, be sure to give Maidio a try!

Congrats on launching Maidio! 🎉 As someone who also struggles to keep up with RSS feeds, this sounds like an amazing solution—turning them into audio is such a smart way to use commuting or chore time productively. Adding local TTS support is a great touch for cost efficiency too. Definitely giving this a try!
