# PodX Studio

> Know your audience. Grow your show.

PodX helps podcasters understand their audience by turning episode promotion into a learning opportunity. Create shortlinks, track clicks, test different hooks, and learn what resonates.

## What PodX Does

- **Shortlinks**: Create branded links (podx.link/s/your-code) for podcast episodes
- **Platform Detection**: Auto-detects Apple Podcasts, Spotify, YouTube, and more
- **Click Tracking**: See which links perform best
- **Variant Testing**: Test different hooks and copy for the same episode
- **AI Generation**: Generate multiple copy variants from episode metadata

## The Three Pillars

1. **Variety** - Test different angles (multiple hooks per episode)
2. **Data** - See what's working (click tracking, variant comparison)
3. **Learning** - System gets smarter (brand voice, performance-informed suggestions)

## Key Pages

- `/` - Landing page (unauthenticated)
- `/home` - Dashboard with performance snapshot
- `/shortlinks` - Episode and shortlink management
- `/settings` - Brand DNA configuration
- `/admin-center` - Admin tools (admin only)

## How Shortlinks Work

1. User pastes a podcast episode URL
2. PodX extracts metadata (title, artwork, description)
3. AI generates hook variants
4. User selects preferred copy
5. Shortlink created at podx.link/s/{code}
6. Clicks tracked per link and platform
