ShowPrepper is your AI-powered show prep assistant, built right into VoiceTracker. It gives you instant, broadcast-ready talking points about the artists and songs in your program log — automatically, with no typing required.
The easiest way to use ShowPrepper is to do nothing at all. When you click an hour in the program log, VoiceTracker automatically sends that hour's songs to Gemini and displays formatted show notes in the ShowPrepper panel. Each song gets a bold heading followed by concise, broadcast-friendly facts — chart history, studio stories, and behind-the-lyrics trivia you can use on the air.
Click any song in the program log and the ShowPrepper panel scrolls directly to that song's notes with a brief highlight. Great for finding talking points quickly while recording.
Need to ask Gemini something specific? Click the ▶ arrow on the left edge of the ShowPrepper panel to reveal the custom prompt box. Type any question and press Enter. Custom questions go directly to Gemini without the show notes prompt — you can ask about anything, not just music.
The prompt box automatically collapses after you submit, keeping the interface clean.
ShowPrepper uses Google's Gemini AI. Each jock needs their own API key — it's free and takes about a minute to set up:
The free Gemini tier limits how many requests you can make in a short period. If you hit the limit, ShowPrepper displays a friendly message letting you know. Wait a minute or two and try again — the limit resets quickly.
For stations that need heavier usage, upgrading to a paid Gemini plan removes the limit entirely.
ShowPrepper is completely optional. If you don't enter an API key, the rest of VoiceTracker works exactly the same. ShowPrepper just sits quietly in the lower left.
