Caloroga Media Launches Linnet, an AI Production Studio Built by Creators, for Creators

Press Release · New York NY, United States · via Caloroga Media ·

Caloroga Media, the leading audio company at the forefront of AI and podcast integration since its 2023 launch, is reshaping the future of content creation with Linnet (pronounced LIN-it). Linnet is an AI-powered media production platform, born out of Caloroga Media’s own production workflow, that provides tools for every step of audio and video creation, all in a single web browser with a single subscription. 

“Linnet exists because we could not find a tool worthy of the work,” says Mark Francis, co-founder of Caloroga Media and Linnet. "When the first AI production tools arrived, the idea was right, but the craft was missing. I’d generate an episode, then pull it apart and rebuild every element by hand in a real production workstation just to get it to broadcast quality. Well-funded engineers built those tools without ever spending a minute in a studio. So we built the opposite. A real studio, with an AI partner built to learn how you work rather than making you work its way.”

Instead of juggling separate accounts for scripting, voice, music, editing, and distribution, Linnet unifies the entire workflow in one space. She serves as an AI creative partner, providing support at the right moment while keeping creative decisions with the person making the work. 

Where most AI assistants generate ideas and leave the user to execute them, Linnet works hands-on with the same tools the creator uses. She proposes an action, shows exactly what she’s about to do, and waits for approval before making any changes. Linnet is built to learn how each creator works while keeping them firmly in control.

“AI shouldn’t replace the person doing the work. It should help them get better at it,” adds John McDermott, co-founder of Caloroga Media and Linnet. “We built Linnet to work alongside creators. She handles the tools and the technology while the creative calls stay in their hands, which gives them back the hours to spend on the rest of the business.”

Creators can now request early access at linnetmedia.com and start shaping how Linnet fits into their workflow.

From a single browser, users can:

  • Write scripts or transcribe existing recordings;
  • Record, edit, and mix in a professional 24-track studio with a full plugin suite;
  • Add music, images, video, and artwork;
  • Cut video podcasts in a genuine multi-track editor;
  • Master, transcribe, enrich, and publish to Apple Podcasts, Spotify, and YouTube through the user’s podcast host.

In an industry flooded with AI-generated content designed to be ignored, Linnet puts creators back in control of what gets made and how it sounds. One of the system’s signature capabilities is God Mode, which turns a single prompt into a complete first draft of an episode, including script, narration, music, artwork, and video. The creator can then review, refine, make it their own, and publish it all inside the workstation. With God Mode, a rough cut is a starting line to elevate, not a finished thing to publish.

Linnet also consolidates what most creators currently pay for across multiple subscriptions. For those already committed to other providers, Bring Your Own Key lets users connect their existing accounts and keep working without platform usage caps, with the vendor handling billing directly.

Additionally, Linnet is built on the principle that “your work stays yours.” She does not sell user data, share voice profiles with advertisers, or train AI models with creator content. What Linnet learns about a user’s preferences stays in their account. Generated content stays available to the user for as long as their account is active, and is permanently deleted within 30 days of account closure. Projects are automatically saved locally with portable sessions, making it easy to move work between computers. 

Linnet is now available for early access, giving creators an opportunity to test the platform and shape its development. Visit linnetmedia.com to sign up and learn more.
