Expert interview workflow
An expert interview is the source. The episode is the decision
Set up and prepare an AI-hosted expert interview. Select the interview moments, generate a draft episode, then review it before publishing.
The decision boundary
A conversation is not a finished episode
- 01PrepareSet up a live AI interview, invite the guest, and prepare questions.
- 02InterviewUse the expert conversation as the material for the episode.
- 03SelectReview the interview moments and choose the segments to use.
- 04ReviewGenerate a draft episode, then decide whether to publish it.
The draft is a review point—not a promise that the episode should be published.
Before the conversation
The interview gets its shape before it starts
An expert call works best when the guest, angle, and question set are deliberate. Mato gives you those review points before the invitation is sent.
- 01Give the interview a point of viewSet the guest, topic, purpose, and AI host so the conversation has an intentional starting point.
- 02Shape the question setStart with suggested questions, then include, edit, add, or regenerate the questions that matter.
- 03Review the invitation before it goes outCheck the interview summary and the drafted invite before sending the guest a link to join.
The approved questions are shared with the guest in their briefing before the interview starts.

Evaluate the handoffs, not just the conversation
The useful question is whether the path from interview setup to review matches the way your team wants to work.
- 01PrepareSet up a live AI interview, invite the guest, and prepare questions.
- 02InterviewUse the expert conversation as the material for the episode.
- 03SelectReview the interview moments and choose the segments to use.
- 04ReviewGenerate a draft episode, then decide whether to publish it.
After the conversation
The draft is a deliberate edit path
The result is more than a raw recording, but it is not an automatic publish. The conversation stays at the center while you retain the final review.
- What staysThe source materialThe segments you select remain the recorded conversation from the interview.
- What is addedThe episode frameMato can build around those selections with an intro, afterthoughts, and outro.
- What you decideThe publication decisionReview the script, metadata, and assembled audio before choosing whether to publish.
An honest starting point
This is for shaping a conversation into a reviewed draft
Mato fits when
- The expert conversation is the source material for the episode.
- You want to prepare the interview before the conversation happens.
- You want to choose the moments that become the draft episode.
- A person should review the draft and decide what becomes public.
Choose another approach when
- You only need to edit an existing recording.
- You need to convert an arbitrary webinar file into an episode.
- You need a promise about CRM, revenue, or another business result.
