Three Ways a Curator Station Works

A Curator station on ONDA Nile is a curated library of audio content — searchable, playable, and shareable — built from the voices of people you know and trust. This document describes three curator scenarios. Links to the actual forms are included so you can see what the workflow looks like in practice.

How identity works across ONDA Nile

A contributor's phone number is their identity across the entire system. It carries across events, stations, and curators. One contributor may be enrolled in PCA35, have presented at PCA28, and contribute to a completely separate station — all under the same phone number.

When they open ONDA Replay and enter their phone, the OTP verification surfaces every record associated with that number — across all events and stations. They choose which one to open and work on. The curator does not need to re-enroll them for each new event; enrollment is a one-time action per person.

Arturo — Conference Organizer

ProductCamp Austin · 15–25 speaker candidates per event

Every ProductCamp event draws 15 to 25 speaker candidates — product managers, academics, consultants. Right now, those talks live in someone's phone video at best. It might be two or three weeks before PCA produces and uploads the videos to YouTube — and by then, the moment has passed for most of the audience who were in the room.

ONDA changes that. The recording is done, transcribed, and in the audience's hands before they leave the building. Here is the complete workflow from Arturo's perspective as Curator, through the speaker candidates as Contributors, to the audience on the day of the event.

The ProductCamp workflow

Arturo registers as a Curator Curator
He sets up the ProductCamp Austin curator station — name, location, color theme, his LinkedIn profile as the human-curation gate. One-time setup that carries forward to every future event.
→ register.html · → station.html

Arturo creates an issue Curator
The station curator may create PCA35 plus additional issues — date, venue, number of slots. The issue code (e.g. PCA35) is Arturo's internal label for organizing and tracking. It is how Arturo identifies the issue in his admin role. He shares it with candidates wishing to present.
→ event.html

Arturo puts out a call for speakers and collects responses Curator
Via email, LinkedIn, or his existing network. When someone applies, Arturo ensures their phone number linking their identity is in the system. Presenters only register once.
→ enroll.html

Speaker candidates subscribe to ONDA Replay ($8.99/mo) Contributor
The Contributor subscription gives them access to the presenter tools — the card form, the recording app, and the ability to submit to a Curator's event.

Contributors apply to present in ONDA Replay Contributor
Contributors enter their phone number into the Replay for Business screen to receive a one-time password. That confirms their identity. They can then select a tile they have been authorized to update. Selecting the new card, they can fill it out completely or come back and complete it later: name, photo, bio, talk title, and synopsis.

Arturo reviews cards for completeness Curator
He checks each submission — bio, synopsis, photo — before anything goes public. Incomplete cards are flagged. Approved cards appear on ONDA Nile as "Coming Soon" before the event.
→ cards.html

PCA protocol — Arturo only · Live event distribution

The audience votes speakers in Audience
This is the ProductCamp unconference model — attendees vote on the day of the event for which candidates present. ONDA does not change this process; it works alongside it.

Voted-in presenters are assigned a room and time slot Contributor
Each slot corresponds to a card Arturo created during setup. The presenter opens ONDA Replay — their assigned slot is already linked to their phone — and they're ready to record.

Audience members opt in by text Audience
At the start of each presentation, the presenter announces: "Text REPLAY to [number] to get this talk sent to your phone when I'm done." Audience members text in once. They're in.

Presenter taps Stop — everything uploads automatically Contributor
ONDA Replay uploads the audio file and the real-time transcript in one tap. No editing. No file management. The recording is tied to the presenter's card and the slot they were assigned.

Text messages go out to the audience Audience
Once transcription is complete, every opted-in audience member receives a text with a link to the .onda file. They open it in ONDA Replay: listen, read along, rewind, search the transcript. On their schedule, not the presenter's.

"The talk doesn't end when the presenter sits down. It lives in the curator station — discoverable by anyone who wasn't in the room."

A Magazine Publisher

Multi-title publication · Expert contributors across multiple topics

LeverageUp Media publishes more than one magazine — health, business, lifestyle, and others. Each is a distinct publication with its own contributors and editorial standards. As a Curator, Robin manages all of them from a single ONDA Nile station, organized into named collections — one per magazine title.

She invites each contributor to record their article in their own voice and links them to the specific publication they're submitting to. A health practitioner authorized for LeverageUp Health does not automatically appear in LeverageUp Business. Robin controls that separation.

This same model applies to any curator managing multiple topic areas. David, for example, might separate contributors into Services, Products, or Use Cases rather than grouping everything under one undifferentiated station.

A contributor enrolled in Robin's station may also be a speaker at a ProductCamp event. Their phone number links both records. When they sign in, they see all of it — and choose what to work on.

"Replay isn't replacing articles — it's giving them another dimension." — Robin Roberson, LeverageUp Media

The LeverageUp workflow

Robin registers as a Curator Curator
One-time setup: LeverageUp Media curator station name, location, color theme, and LinkedIn profile as the human-curation gate.
→ register.html · → station.html

Robin creates an issue for each publication Curator
Robin creates issues inside her station — for example, LeverageUp Health Issue 1 or LeverageUp Business Issue 1. Each issue carries a publication name (e.g. "LeverageUp Health") that groups it with other issues of the same magazine. This is the same step as Arturo creating PCA35 — the structure is identical, just named differently. Robin can have as many publications and issues as she has magazines.
→ event.html

Robin enrolls each contributor by phone number Curator
Robin adds each contributor's phone number to the system, authorizing them to submit to a specific issue. This is the same step Arturo takes with his speaker candidates — the curator confirms who is allowed in before anyone can sign in. If a contributor is already in the system from another station or issue, they are simply authorized for this new one. No duplicate record is created.
→ enroll.html

Contributors subscribe to ONDA Replay ($8.99/mo) Contributor
The Contributor subscription gives them access to the presenter tools — the card form, the recording app, and the ability to submit to a Curator's issue.

Contributors sign in and fill out their card Contributor
They open ONDA Replay, enter their phone number, receive a one-time code by text, and verify it. The app surfaces all their records across ONDA Nile. They select the issue they are authorized for and fill out their card: name, photo, bio, article title, and synopsis.
→ cards.html (Robin's review view)

Robin reviews each card for completeness Curator
She checks bio, article synopsis, and photo before anything goes public. Incomplete cards are flagged. Approved cards are visible on ONDA Nile.

Contributors record and share their .onda file Contributor
Each expert records their article in their own voice using ONDA Replay and shares the .onda file from Utilities directly to Robin's curator station queue. Recorded on their device. Not uploaded from YouTube.

Robin and the contributor reach agreement on the final recording Curator
Robin reviews the recording and may send feedback — a section that needs clarification, an intro that should be re-recorded. The contributor responds and resubmits if needed. This is an editorial conversation, not a unilateral decision. The content is the contributor's intellectual property. Nothing goes live until both sides are satisfied.

Approved files go live on the LeverageUp curator station Curator
The station page on ONDA Nile shows every article — title, author, synopsis — with a Listen in ONDA Replay button. If Robin wants to publish her own articles as audio, she can use bulk upload.
→ bulk-upload.html

Each contributor receives their .onda in their private archive Contributor
Their article, in their own voice, with a synchronized transcript — on their phone. A publishing credit they can share, and a copy they keep regardless of what Robin does with the station.

A Professional Network Hub

Field expertise · Colleagues with content worth sharing

Samar knows his field. He also knows colleagues who have built tutorials, explained processes, and answered the same client questions a hundred times. That knowledge exists. It just isn't organized anywhere.

Of the three curators in this document, Samar has the lightest ongoing workload. He sets up his curator station once, reaches out to colleagues, opens slots, and reviews what comes in. There is no recurring publication schedule, no event to run. The station simply grows as contributors add content.

A curator station with 50 files isn't a business card. It's a destination.

Anyone searching for how patents work finds Samar's curator station. They don't just find Samar — they find his entire network. Every contributor has a reason to send their own clients and contacts to the station.

The Samar workflow

Samar registers as a Curator Curator
One-time setup: curator station name, field of practice, location, LinkedIn profile as the human-curation gate.
→ register.html · → station.html

Samar creates an issue Curator
Samar creates a named issue inside his station — for example, Patent Prosecution Issue 1 or Trademark Issue 1. The publication name groups issues by practice area. Fresh issues keep the station active and visible. New issues are added as the network and content grow.
→ event.html

Samar enrolls each contributor by phone number Curator
He adds each contributor's phone number, authorizing them to submit to a specific issue. His editorial judgment controls access — you are enrolled because Samar decided you belong in this station. If a contributor is already in the ONDA Nile system from another station or issue, they are simply authorized for this new one.
→ enroll.html

Contributors sign in and fill out their card Contributor
They open ONDA Replay, enter their phone number, receive a one-time code by text, and verify it. The app surfaces all their records across ONDA Nile. They select the issue they are authorized for and fill out their card: name, photo, bio, topic title, and synopsis.
→ cards.html (Samar's review view)

Samar reviews each card Curator
He checks that the bio, topic synopsis, and photo are complete and professional before anything goes public. This is his editorial standard — the station reflects his judgment.

Contributors record and share their .onda file Contributor
Each contributor records their tutorial or explanation using ONDA Replay and shares the .onda from Utilities directly to Samar's curator station queue. Recorded on their device. Not uploaded from YouTube.

Samar and the contributor reach agreement on the final recording Curator
Samar reviews the recording and may send feedback. The contributor responds and resubmits if needed. This is an editorial conversation, not a unilateral decision. The content is the contributor's intellectual property. Nothing goes live until both sides are satisfied.

Approved files go live on the curator station Curator
Each .onda appears on Samar's ONDA Nile station — searchable by topic, playable in Replay, with a synchronized transcript. Anyone searching finds the station and his entire network.

Each contributor receives their .onda in their private archive Contributor
Their recording, their expertise, with a synchronized transcript — on their phone. A professional credential they can share with their own clients and contacts.
