Hi ProductHunt 🙂 I'm one of the co-founders of Snipd, and we’re excited to launch this new major feature: 🎉 AI-generated audio & text summaries for full podcast episodes 🎉 Dubbed by some of our early beta users as the “Blinkist for podcasts”, this new feature allows you to get the key takeaways from long podcast episodes and find the most interesting parts to deep-dive into. Today, we’re launching this for all episodes of the Lex Fridman podcast. Let us know for which other shows you’d like us to roll this feature out in the future. 👉 How to try it out: - download the app - go to any Lex Fridman episode - tap on Audio Summary 👉 Alternatively, check out these episodes in your browser: - Elon Musk - Mark Zuckerberg - Joe Rogan We’d love to hear your feedback! If you find this valuable, please share it with your friends ;) Your makers, Kevin, Ferdinand, Mikel, Gina, Min (@kevinbensmith @hi_im_ferdinand @mikel_corcuera @g_schalalala @mzh) Snipd is an AI-native podcast player, built to discover and save the best ideas in podcasts. Our AI provides you with transcripts, AI-generated chapters, recommended highlights, summaries, and AI-enhanced highlighting. Our mission is to unlock the knowledge in podcasts with AI.

LOVE this. So often I'm shared podcasts which I know come from a credible recommendation, and I KNOW I'll get value listening too... I just never seem to have the time.

This is pretty exciting — and something that will likely come to the big players eventually. Smart for Snipd to get ahead of this. Check out this recent article that goes into some of the challenges of shortform social audio — this approach might address some of them!

Maybe another one for you @tiagorbf

Absolutely love Snipd. Cannot go back to the way I used to listen to podcasts before this app. Given it a shot for a few days and you will see everyone else loves. I have been waiting for podcast summaries for a while. There are simply too many podcasts out there and it takes far too much effort to sample them. I am looking forward to this feature boosting my ability to explore further into the podcast universe.

This is super valuable! I just listened to the summary of the Lex Fridman episode with Kanye West. Although I guess a clear summary with this interview partner is very difficult, it was extremely well structured, and informative. I feel I got the essence of the podcast. I look forward to being able to capture the most important points of more podcasts with this feature!

Congratulations on the launch! 🚀

I often write down my goals in a notebook, now it will be much more convenient, thank you! Congrats to the launch!

I’m using Snipd daily and think it’s immensely forward thinking. It is so helpful to cut out the information i want to remember. Especially after very long podcasts.

Really love the idea behind it! Congrats to the whole team 🎉 Just a curiosity: Will there be any chance for an individual user to train the AI somehow? The most important insights from any podcast might be different from listener to listener

This is amazing. This will help me get through my podcast backlog so much faster. When will this become available for other podcasts?

Downloaded!

While I recommend people listen to Lex's podcast with Balaji, this app could be useful for those that don't have 8 hours (or 4 hours at 2x). 😅

This is cool. Nice Idea. Congrats on your launch!

Congrats on the launch 🚀

I have like tens of podcasts that I have bookmarked and cannot spend time listening to. Could this rescue me? @kevinbensmith

That's a COOL name. Congrats on your launch 🚀 Does it support "masters of scale"? My favorite one :)

Yet another fantastic feature in this already self-contained podcast player! I've just listened to the summary of episode #101 with Joscha Bach - it's incredible how well discussions around complex and difficult concepts (consciousness, spirit, AI, societies, happiness) are summarized. I also like the choice of voice ;) It does not give the immediate impression of it being artificial. Looking forward to the summaries of other shows, like The Tim Ferriss Show. Well done, snipd team! 🙌 🎉

Such a great development! Just went through some of the summaries, and I'm really impressed how it captured interesting insights. Such a centaur (Human-AI) approach right in our hands. Thanks so much for this. You just brought Snipd to the next-level of what already was on the next-level. Looking forward to summaries of The Knowledge Project, Jordan B. Peterson, and Huberman Lab. Interested to understand how the AI will summarize monologue episodes from conversational ones like Lex's.

Best podcast app out there!
