How to use Epicly

Epicly is intentionally linear: capture, upload, review, share. Here is what that looks like in practice.

1. Land in the dashboard. You will see active campaigns, your upload allowance, and quick links to recent recaps.
2. Upload audio. Drag-and-drop a file or paste a hosted link. Epicly validates duration, estimates processing time, and queues transcription instantly.
3. Review highlights. Once processing finishes, skim the auto-generated summary, tweak tone, and add shoutouts or house lore.
4. Use the GM’s Guide to prepare. After each processed session, the GM’s Guide highlights what needs attention before the next game: scenes to prep, NPCs to flesh out, hooks to develop, and what your players seem most excited about. Use it to focus your prep time on the parts of the story that matter most.
5. Share and archive. Send to your players, post to Discord, or export to PDF. Every recap lives alongside the original transcript so you can revisit or revise whenever you like.
6. Browse the Codex. The Codex is a searchable library of your campaign’s lore—characters, locations, items, and events. Add player emails in the campaign settings; once they sign up with the same address, they can browse the Codex for your campaign (and any others they join).
