# Repurpose an episode with source-backed context

Build a repurposing brief from episode metadata, transcript passages, and existing assets.

Ground new copy and ideas in what the episode actually contains.

## Before you start

* Find and inspect the episode.
* Confirm transcript availability.
* Decide which output is needed, such as show notes, social copy, a blog draft, or clip ideas.

## Build the source pack

1. Read the episode title, description, show notes, labels, and publication context.
2. Search the podcast for terms related to the requested theme.
3. Read transcript segments around the strongest matches.
4. Keep episode IDs and timestamps with every candidate quote or clip moment.
5. List existing content assets for the episode.
6. Inspect relevant ready or draft assets in full.
7. Separate source facts from proposed wording.

## Draft the output

1. State the intended audience and channel.
2. Reuse approved asset text when it fits the request.
3. Paraphrase accurately and preserve the speaker's meaning.
4. Mark direct quotations and keep them tied to transcript segments.
5. Flag any detail that the source pack does not support.

## Expected result

The draft is traceable to the episode, avoids contradictions with existing approved content, and does not invent missing claims or quotes.

## If source context is missing

Stop or narrow the output. Ask for a transcript, a specific asset, or human context. Do not fill the gap with synthetic customer-facing content.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/start-here/ai-agents/search-and-repurpose-episode-content/repurpose-an-episode-with-source-backed-context.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
