We've been running The HN Recap for a month to make it easier to consume Hacker News. While this was a PoC in understanding adoption for AI-generated podcasts, we now plan to keep this going, since lots of people are now listening to this daily. Let us know what other content channels you'd like to receive as Podcasts and we'll get on it. Read more about our learnings here → https://wondercraft.ai/blog/learnings-from-1-month-of-ai-pod...

Hey, we're Phil and Ian, the founders of Scribbler. We're huge podcast fans, but found we never had enough time to soak it all in. So, we built Scribbler - a tool that leverages GPT to condense podcast episodes into bite-sized summaries for when life's too busy. Now, we can catch the best bits from any episode, discover new shows, and best of all, stop wasting valuable time figuring out what's worth listening to and what's not. We hope you'll find it useful!

WisdomSnap▲34Hey HN, I follow a lot of podcasts and the episodes are often 2-3 hours long, so I made a web app that gives me a structured podcast summary with applicable habits and recommendations. My goal isn’t to discourage you from listening to the podcast, but rather to help you decide whether the episode is worthwhile and to provide notes. The endgame is to give you a personal feed of podcasts that you follow, maybe even deliver it to your inbox or via RSS. My tech stack is quite simple - React Router(v7), node.js and PostgreSQL with Redis. I'm using OpenAI API to generate the summary from the…

Hey HN! Started out with an idea over the holidays to start building a system that creates daily digests of content I follow as a podcast, such that I can listen to it when commuting. The first one is one that takes the top articles of HN in the last 24 hours and builds them into a podcast. It took forever to tweak it in such a way that it doesn't sound 100% AI, isn't too sensational, but also not extremely boring. I've been tweaking over the past weeks to get it just right and I'm pretty happy with what comes out of it now. I've just submitted / got them all up and running on Spotify…

Hi HN - I love podcasts. I listen to them whenever I can. Yet I don’t know how people listen to more than a few per week, especially when the episodes are multiple hours long. I made Podmob so I don’t have to miss out on useful insights if I don’t have time to listen to every podcast I’d like to. Podmob uses AI to generate recaps for any podcast episode. You can choose between a few styles and lengths of the recaps you want to generate (paragraphs, chapters, bullet points, top quotes). Podmob sends a recap to your email as soon as a new episode is released for any podcast you follow or you…

Hey HN: What it does: HackerVoice automatically generates a daily podcast summarizing the top five trending Hacker News topics using AI. How it works: Uses a combination of Gemini and GPT-4o to analyze and summarize trending topics. Leverages OpenAI’s text-to-speech (TTS) engine to generate natural-sounding narration. Runs on an automated schedule (cron job at 16:00 UTC daily). Episodes are available for listening at: https://hackervoice.vercel.app/.

Yoptio▲9About a year ago, I built an RSS reader than had some features I couldn't find elsewhere at the time (specifically topic/keyword muting). I recently added the ability to listen to a daily podcast, generated from an individuals personal RSS feeds. While I think the idea is cool, I am curious if others would listen to a podcast they know is AI generated, on a more permanent basis? Would anyone subscribe to a personal AI podcast within their regular podcast client? AI content within social media seems poorly received (passive consumption), but NotebookLM was praised (perhaps because it is…
