Dear Launpod Team,

Since beginning till now your platform was buggy and not even stable till now.

A: Dear Naturepharma,

Many thanks for your question,

After a lot of reflection and some tough calls, we’ve decided to pause Launchpod AI in its current form and explore a new direction.

Over the last month, we ran into several feasibility issues that made it clear the current path wasn’t sustainable, from tech limitations to market alignment. We’ve been heads down trying to find workarounds, but ultimately, continuing as-is would have meant burning time and resources we just don’t have.

This wasn’t an easy decision. We pushed hard, made meaningful progress, and truly believed in what we were building. Like many early-stage startups, we had flashes of traction, exciting moments, and valuable lessons, but also challenges in timing, focus, and execution we couldn’t ignore.

So we’re hitting pause, not to stop, but to regroup and pivot. All AppSumo licenses will be saved and honoured for whatever comes next.

To the thousands of users who joined us, and the mentors, friends, and believers who backed us: thank you. You gave us fuel. We’re proud of what we built, and even more excited about what’s coming.

If you need anything, access to your content, support, or just to say hello, we’re here.

Thanks for believing in Launchpod. The journey isn’t over, just evolving.

Q: I wonder?

I wonder if participating in these start-up programs is a waste of time. I was enjoying this one; it's one of my favorites.

Q: Are you still in the game for 2025?

What is on the roadmap for the next 60 days? What should we look forward to? I feel that things are dormant, and Notebook is in the spotlight, which makes me concerned that this product may not survive due to ongoing irregular improvements. Please let us know.

Q: I need automation!!!

Well I full stacked this puppy, but I need some kind of API or Make connection so that I can hook it to my distribution software and maybe even create podcasts based on different use cases.

Is there an API that will be released and will that API be offered to us LTD users?

Make modules and connections to ActivePieces would be a workaround but I personally would prefer an API so I can work from all sources.

A: Thank you so much for your excitement and for full stacking LaunchPod! We really appreciate your feedback, especially on the need for automation and an API.

You're not alone—several users have shared similar thoughts, and we're currently evaluating a potential API integration. However, I want to be upfront with you that it’s still in the very early stages of consideration. We’re exploring the possibilities, but we don’t have a firm timeline or confirmation just yet.

We truly value hearing from our community, and your input plays a huge part in shaping the future of LaunchPod. Rest assured, automation is a priority, and while I can’t make any promises at this point, we’re excited about the direction we’re heading in!

Thanks again for your trust and support—stay tuned, and we’ll definitely keep you posted on any developments!

Q: Hi, I'm loving Launchpod. Hopw do can I get the clone voices to read "AI" correctly?

AI is not read properly it sounds like "Ey." I did an experiment to separate A and I in the sentences. It's a hit-and-miss but much better than the first one. Also, the voice clone cannot pronounce my name correctly, "Ma Cherie." How do I get the French character to read it correctly? I'm super excited to launch my new podcast without me recording and interviewing.

When I edited the file, the recorded file just completely gone, therefore my credits used gone too! Please help thanks!

Q: Credit limitations are absurd

Come on chaps, I want to purchase up to T5 so badly yet providing T1 with 15 minutes p/month is actually insulting. Would you like to buy my new SaaS called MicroTweets? Super awesome AI that creates top-shelf tweets. You can send 6 per year.

A: Hi,

Thank you for your question!

Yes, all the music available on LaunchPod AI comes with a commercial license, so you’re free to use it in your audio projects without any concerns. You can include it in your podcasts or other creative works. Just keep in mind that the music can’t be redistributed in its original form on a standalone basis, but as part of your project, you’re all set!

If you have any further questions or need assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help and support your creative journey!

Q: quality voices in other languages

I have a question. I have acquired the application at level 4, but the Spanish voices have disappointed me a bit. The English voices are much better, and there are only two in Spanish that are acceptable. My question is whether you intend to improve the voices in other languages, such as Spanish, so that they are at the same level as the English voices. If not, the application will only be useful for a small percentage of the population, when it could be useful for everyone. Are you going to improve the voices in the future?

A: Hi,

Thank you so much for your feedback and for joining us at Level 4! We’re excited to have you onboard.

I completely understand your point regarding the Spanish voices, and we’re grateful for your honesty. We’re actively working on improving voices in multiple languages, including Spanish, to match the quality of our English voices. Our goal is exactly what you mentioned—to make the application useful and enjoyable for everyone, no matter the language.

We are committed to continuously enhancing the voice quality and expanding our library, so you can expect significant improvements in the near future.

Thank you again for your support and patience! We’re excited about what’s to come and we’re grateful to have users like you helping us grow.

Q: Can we use Eleven Labs Cloning?

I got it at tier 3 and as I mentioned in my review, the creation of podcasts is definitely interesting and something I definitely hope you improve on as there's great potential. But the problem is that I won't be using it because I want my cloned voice to be in the podcast and the clone feature of yours doesn't sound anything like my voice and it's so far behind Eleven labs - which has a great voice cloning.

I'm wondering whether to keep the tier 3 or get a refund. If you allow us to use Eleven labs, then I'll keep it. But if you only allow us to use your voice cloning, I am very doubtful your voice cloning will ever reach the same level of quality as Eleven labs. If so, I'll probably get a refund.

Do let me know what your plans are. Thanks.

A: Dear Jonathan,

Thank you for your feedback and for sharing your thoughts as always. We’re actively working on improving our voice cloning capabilities to meet the diverse needs of our users, and while we understand different users have varying opinions, we’re confident in the progress we’re making.

Currently, users can upload their own voice to our platform or use our voice cloning feature. We understand that some users have preferred other platforms, and we appreciate your patience as we continue refining our solution.

At the moment, we do not support integration with other voice solutions, but we’re always exploring ways to enhance the user experience. I completely understand your decision and appreciate you giving us a chance. Feel free to reach out if you need any further clarification.

Q: Buy T5 for double charging the cloned voice.

Hello Juan, I am already T5. It's your turn to do your part.

As I told you, I haven't been able to do anything more than tests.

Come on, set a date like me, and take the step to our requests. And you go away for 4 days and leave us in words. Come on, you won't regret supporting the Sumo-lings 😇

A: Hi there,

Thanks for your question! While LaunchPod isn't a podcast distribution platform like Hubhopper and PodOps, we do offer distribution capabilities. However, our primary focus is on AI-driven audio creation, and that's where most of our feature advancements lie.

If you're looking to upload and distribute existing podcasts, we don’t currently offer that option. You can create new podcasts based on existing scripts, but uploading final audio files for distribution isn't something we support just yet.

That said, we’re always evolving and adding new features based on user feedback. We have an active roadmap where we listen to user requests and prioritize developments based on community input. If there’s a feature you’re passionate about, we encourage you to share it with us, and we’ll do our best to bring it to life!

Thank you for considering LaunchPod, and feel free to reach out if you have any more questions or need further assistance.

Best regards,

Q: Dear Juan (LaunchPad), many companies at Appsumo have listened to us

by be the members and before leaving, they have adjusted their offer in such a way that it becomes a guarantee for us, since the good I ask for is beneficial for your company and for the other members of the community.

Listen to us and believe our views on time, credits charged double for our cloned voice, new voices (Mexican Spanish).

Believe us, all members of AppSumo, we have more than 5 applications on this platform and new ideas always arrive and it is very satisfying that those we have accompanied from the beginning have our loyalty.

Take advantage of the fact that you have many critical and constructive voices here, which you probably won't have outside to improve more quickly.

I'm going up to T5.

I send you a hug.

We truly value the feedback and insights from the AppSumo community, and we are committed to listening and making adjustments where needed. Your suggestions about time, credit usage for cloned voices, and the addition of new voices like Mexican Spanish are very important to us. We understand how these changes can benefit both our company and the community, and we are working hard to address them.

We’re incredibly grateful for your loyalty and the trust you’ve placed in us. The constructive feedback we receive here is invaluable, and we’re committed to using it to improve and grow. We want to ensure that we continue to meet the needs of our users and provide the best possible experience.

Thank you for choosing to upgrade to T5—it’s supporters like you who help us move forward and innovate. We’re excited to have you with us on this journey.

Q: Any changes? You have mentioned several times that the team is reviewing the time limitations for this deal.

Has there been any changes decided its been a couple of weeks, and I'd like to know if something is happening or not. 1 15 minute podcast isnt enough time, my favorite podcasts are at least a half hour - hour long. To only make 1 a month isn't sustainable to start a new concept with this or build a following. Even in tier 2 you can't do an hour a month. I would want to get a following with at least a weekly podcast. Credits go quickly with other effect. So... my question is has the team decided to make any changes at all.

Q: question about credits and AI

-how do credits work for script generation/other AI tools?
-what AI tools are there exactly (i.e. functions/features, not models)? what can they generate? does regenerating script/outline use up more content?

-what are the differences between podcast and audiobook and educational content etc?

-any plans to integrate zapier? or youtube?

-can I add emotions, silences, sound effects to audio?

-is voice cloning based on elevenlabs?

-i noticed that you mentioned voice cloning is only available in English. does this refer to the uploaded voice sample? or output voice?

thanks

A: Thank you for reaching out with your questions! I’m happy to help clarify how everything works and share more about our features.

Credits and AI Tools:

• How Credits Work: Each credit typically equates to about 1 minute of generated audio. This applies to script generation, audio production, and other AI tools. Regenerating voice or outline will consume additional credits, as it’s treated as a new generation.
• AI Tools and Features: Our AI tools include script generation, outline creation, multiple voice options, music, effects, and more. You can generate full scripts, outlines, and even edit them before producing your audio. Each tool is designed to streamline your content creation process.

Content Types:

• Podcast vs. Audiobook vs. Educational Content: Podcasts typically involve multiple voices and conversational styles, focusing on shorter episodes or series. Audiobooks are longer, narrative-driven content, often with a single narrator. Educational content may combine aspects of both, focusing on clear, instructional delivery and possibly incorporating different voices for different roles or segments.

Future Integrations:

• Zapier and YouTube: We’re actively exploring integrations with platforms like Zapier and YouTube to enhance your workflow. While these features aren’t available yet, they’re on our roadmap, and we’re excited about the possibilities.

Audio Customization:

• Adding Emotions, Silences, Sound Effects: Currently, adding emotions and sound effects is a manual process. However, we’re working on features that will allow you to incorporate these elements more seamlessly into your audio productions in the future.

Voice Cloning:

• Voice Cloning and Language: Our voice cloning is indeed only available in English at the moment, both for the uploaded voice sample and the output voice. We’re working on expanding our language capabilities, and we’ll keep you updated on any developments. We currently offer over 500 different voices in many different languages.

Thank you for your interest in LaunchPod! If you have any more questions or need further assistance, feel free to reach out. We’re here to help you make the most of our platform.

Have a lovely day!
