Podwise

If you listen to podcasts and want to do more than just let them evaporate from memory, this is worth trying. It wraps the Podwise CLI so you can search episodes, transcribe audio, extract summaries and highlights, and export notes to your PKM tool. The workflow routing is thoughtful: catch up on your backlog, research a topic across transcripts, debate episode ideas, or generate language learning cards. It asks you to build a taste profile first so recommendations actually fit. Honestly feels like it was built by someone who got tired of losing good ideas in their queue. Works with YouTube, local files, and a handful of podcast platforms.

Files

Podwise

Podwise skills help you get more out of every podcast you listen to.

References

Load these files when needed — do not load all of them upfront:

references/cli.md — full CLI command reference. Load before running any podwise command or looking up flags and syntax.
references/installation.md — installation and API key setup. Load if podwise is not installed or not configured.
references/taste.md — the user's listener profile. Load at the start of any workflow that benefits from personalisation.

Environment Check

Before running any workflow, verify the CLI is available:

podwise --help
podwise config show

If podwise is not installed or the API key is missing, load references/installation.md and stop until setup is complete.

CLI Reference

Before running any podwise command, load references/cli.md as the source of truth for exact flags, subcommands, and examples. Do not guess command syntax from memory.
