Podwise
AI podcast learning app: structured summaries, mind maps, and Q&A from 10 million-plus episodes.
About
Podwise is an AI-powered knowledge app built for podcast listeners who want the insight without the full runtime. It ingests episodes from Apple Podcasts, YouTube, RSS feeds, or your own audio uploads and produces structured learning formats: AI summaries, 3-minute outlines, chapter breakdowns for selective listening, mind-map visualizations, notable-quote extraction, and full transcripts you can search and navigate. An Ask Podwise AI mode lets you interrogate any episode conversationally.
The export story is unusually strong for this category: one-click sends to Notion, Readwise, Obsidian, and Logseq, plus XMind, Markdown, and PDF downloads, which makes it a genuine personal-knowledge-management tool rather than a summary novelty. It supports multiple languages including English, Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Spanish, German, French, and Portuguese. Pricing is public: a free plan with limited AI episodes, Standard at $9.90/month ($70.80/year) with 20 AI processing credits monthly, Pro at $19.90/month ($142.80/year) with 50 credits, unlimited Ask AI, and API, CLI, and MCP access, plus Enterprise from $299/month.
