# Dibatto

> Dibatto is a recording studio for argument podcasts. You build an interruptible
> co-host, Dibatto turns your beat's news into a daily rundown, you record the
> argument live, and the wrap produces a transcript, chapters, show notes, titles,
> quotes and a coaching card — then a public episode page and a podcast feed.

Operated by Soxoa LLC. Contact: hello@dibatto.com

## What it is for
- Solo hosts who want a second voice that pushes back rather than agrees.
- Turning any subject you follow into a repeatable weekly or daily show.
- Turning one recorded session into a publishable episode page and a podcast RSS feed.

## How it works
1. Setup is a ~5-minute live voice conversation with a setup producer (typed setup is also available).
   It asks what you want to talk about, where you are with each topic (know it cold or just getting
   into it), what you want out of the show (practice, publish, sharpen opinions, learn), any takes
   you would defend, and what kind of co-host you want. It follows your answers rather than running
   a quiz, and a live panel shows what it has heard.
2. You review one screen and it builds your show: your beat (any subject — a team, an industry, a
   city, a hobby) and your co-host (name, voice, stance and personality sliders). There is no list
   of topics to pick from; you can edit the beat or talk it through again anytime.
3. A rundown is researched from your beat per show per day (weekly where the subject moves slowly),
   with a citation for every factual claim. The co-host argues where you know your stuff and teaches
   where you said you are newer.
4. You record a live session, hard-capped at 45 minutes, with a silent producer feeding cues.
5. The wrap transcribes, analyses, chapters the episode and updates show memory.

## Editorial rules
- The co-host is generated by a language model. The user names it, picks its voice and sets its
  temperament; it is not a person and published episode pages say so.
- The co-host is instructed to ground factual claims in rundown citations and distinguish opinions.
- It is instructed to avoid unsupported allegations and fabricated quotes; users must review the output.
- Regulated subjects (markets, crypto, health) carry disclaimers; the co-host is instructed not to give individualised advice.
- For local news, the co-host is instructed to focus on public bodies, officials and organisations rather than private individuals. Review the output before publishing.
- The user is the publisher of anything they release. Full policy: https://dibatto.com/legal/content-policy
