What is Pods.ee?
Podsee is an AI-powered podcast companion that converts episodes into searchable transcripts, concise summaries, visual mindmaps, outlines, and interactive chat experiences to help listeners learn and retain key ideas faster. It targets podcast listeners, learners, and creators who want to extract actionable insights without re-listening to full episodes, offering both quick overviews and detailed text for note-taking. The platform supports unlimited listening and notifies users about new episodes, while applying AI processing to episodes (subject to plan limits) to produce downloadable assets like transcripts and mindmaps. Podsee’s interface centers on easy discovery and processing: search or add podcasts, play episodes inside the app, then run AI tools per episode to generate transcripts, summaries, mindmaps, and to open an AI chat tied to the episode content.

The Free plan provides unlimited listening, email notifications for new episodes, unlimited access to AI content for episodes that are marked free on the platform, and a platform-wide allowance of 4 AI-enhanced episodes per month for other content.
How many episodes can I run AI on with Basic and Pro?

Who is Podsee best suited for?
