What are the costs like, for such a service? You have to spend for transcribing (even if you ran something like Whisper) and pay for APIs to summarize, correct?
replyyep. won't go into each cost, but it's primarily:
reply1) transcription (Assembly) 2) summarization (Claude) 3) podcast database (listennotes) 4) emails (postmark) 5) application hosting (render)
I'm also interested in this. :)
replyI’d prefer summaries of my YouTube subscriptions, where I can also add my own “summary template”
replyIn currently have a prompt for it that works for me, based on the transcripts.
Problem: too much duplicate information in any type of publication and too much fluff
Problem2: YouTube/transcriptions
Probably wouldn’t pay for such a service, but would be very happy using it. Perhaps some channel promo / email based ads for discovery or recommendations.
perhaps gemini will native work with YouTube much better than we could.
replyInteresting. Once signed in, how do I search for podcasts? Discover is not showing a search field, unlike https://www.podsnacks.org/newsletter/podcasts
replyEdit: Ok, I found the search function in the hamburger menu. A bit unintuitive.
will add search to discover. thanks for the comment.
replyThat's awesome! I'm really not a podcast person, but a lot of good content is available primarily through podcasts. Hope that can help with it.
replythanks and agreed! we see a massive distrust in traditional legacy media, and hopefully PodSnacks can give readers more control about how they access those voices.
replyJust signed up! Do you use different AI prompts for each podcast based on the specialty or a single prompt?
replycurrently a single prompt.
replyany way to expose api access for the keyword search feature? would be cool to build this into some topic summaries delivered via email I'm building for my team
replyat the moment no, but perhaps you'll enjoy podscan.fm
