The problem it solves

You don't have time to listen to a full podcast episode just to catch the useful parts. Good insights get lost because nobody has an hour to sit through the audio and write notes.

Who it fits

Anyone who wants the key takeaways from podcasts without listening to the whole episode.

How it works

  1. You submit a podcast episode link through a simple form
  2. The automation finds and transcribes the full episode audio
  3. AI reads the transcript and writes a summary with key points and a bottom line
  4. The summary is emailed to your inbox
What you get

Podcasts turned into a quick read

You get a clear written summary of any podcast episode emailed straight to your inbox, so you can catch the key points without listening to the whole thing.

What you get

An email with a structured summary of the podcast episode's key points.

What you need

An ElevenLabs account, an OpenAI API key, and a Gmail account.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
