What is a Commentary?

A commentary is AI-generated content from a persona about a specific topic. Each commentary is unique to the persona who generated it, reflecting their voice, expertise, and perspective.

​
Commentary Formats

Commentaries can be generated in multiple formats:
FormatDescriptionUse Case
textWritten commentaryArticles, social posts, embeds
audioVoice-generated audio filePodcasts, audio players
videoAvatar video with audioVideo embeds, social media
Specify desired formats when creating a topic: 
{
  "content": "Should the Lakers trade AD?",
  "persona_ids": ["..."],
  "output_types": ["text", "audio"]
}

​

Generation Time

Commentary generation is asynchronous. Typical times:
Output TypeGeneration Time

Start with text output for the fastest results, then add audio/video as needed.

​
Quality & Uniqueness

Each commentary is:
  • Unique - Generated fresh for each request (not cached)
  • Persona-authentic - Reflects the persona’s voice and style
  • Topic-relevant - Directly addresses the topic content
  • Safe - Filtered for inappropriate content

​
Using Commentaries

​
Fetch by Topic

The most common pattern - get all commentaries for a topic: 
const response = await fetch(
  `https://prod.api.unleeshed.ai/partner/v1/topics/${topicId}/commentaries`,
  { headers: { 'X-Api-Key': apiKey } }
);

const { data } = await response.json();
// data.commentaries = array of all completed commentaries

​
Display Multiple Perspectives

Show commentary from multiple personas on the same topic: 
function TopicCommentaries({ commentaries }) {
  return (
    <div className="commentaries">
      {commentaries.map(c => (
        <article key={c.commentary_id}>
          <header>
            <img src={c.persona.image_url} alt={c.persona.name} />
            <h3>{c.persona.name}</h3>
          </header>
          <p>{c.content}</p>
          {c.audio_url && <AudioPlayer src={c.audio_url} />}
        </article>
      ))}
      <footer>Powered by Unleeshed</footer>
    </div>
  );
}
