If you’re working with interviews, podcasts, or webinars and want Alphana to prioritize the guest rather than the host, you can guide the AI using a few simple steps:

Option 1: Edit the AI Card Prompt

  • Add a line like:

    Focus only on what the guest says. Ignore the host unless it adds context. Pull clips or summaries from the guest’s key moments.


Option 2: Use the Transcript Editor

  • Rename the speakers to “Host” and “Guest”, or use actual names like “Alex” and “Jordan.”

  • Then update your prompt to say:

    Only summarize or pull content from the Guest. Ignore anything said by the Host.

  • Tip: Using “Guest” instead of a specific name makes your prompt reusable across projects.


Option 3: Update Your Custom Instructions

  • Add a line like:

    When generating content from interviews, prioritize the guest’s responses. Only include the host if necessary for context.


By setting clear speaker labels and guiding the prompt, Alphana will focus on the right voice in your content.
