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.
A conversation is not a finished episode.
- 01
Prepare
Set up a live AI interview, invite the guest, and prepare questions.
- 02
Interview
Use the expert conversation as the material for the episode.
- 03
Select
Review the interview moments and choose the segments to use.
- 04
Review
Generate a draft episode, then decide whether to publish it.
The draft is a review point—not a promise that the episode should be published.
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.
Read the complete setup guide- 01
Give the interview a point of view
Set the guest, topic, purpose, and AI host so the conversation has an intentional starting point.
- 02
Shape the question set
Start with suggested questions, then include, edit, add, or regenerate the questions that matter.
- 03
Review the invitation before it goes out
Check 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.

Review
Generate a draft episode, then decide whether to publish it.
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 stays
The source material
The segments you select remain the recorded conversation from the interview.
- What is added
The episode frame
Mato can build around those selections with an intro, afterthoughts, and outro.
- What you decide
The publication decision
Review the script, metadata, and assembled audio before choosing whether to publish.
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.
Questions that deserve a straight answer.
What happens before an expert interview?
You can create a live AI interview, invite a guest, and prepare questions. The setup guide explains how to create the interview and send the guest invitation.
What happens after the conversation?
After the interview is reviewed, you can select the segments to use and generate an interview episode from those moments.
Does Mato publish the episode for me?
No. The resulting interview episode is a draft. You review it and decide whether to publish it.
When is this not the right workflow?
Choose a different approach when you only need a recording editor, need to convert an arbitrary webinar file, or need a promised CRM or revenue outcome.
Start with the conversation you actually need.
