How it works · ~ 3 minute read

You subscribe. We listen. You read.

The whole point of Podbrain is that nothing should be in your way between an episode dropping and a clean, scannable set of notes landing wherever you actually read. Here's the full picture.

Step two
3–5 minutes per episode

We listen so you don't have to.

The moment a new episode drops, our pipeline transcribes the audio, identifies what matters, and writes a clean note in the same hour.

Substance, not summary
We don't run audio through an LLM and call it a day. We isolate claims, find sources, attach quotes, and timestamp every reference.
Speakers & guests
We tag every guest. Search 'Naval Ravikant' and find every episode he's been on, across every show.
Verifiable
Every takeaway in a note links to the exact second of audio. Click to play from the source.

Step three
< 5 min from episode drop

Notes land wherever you read.

Email is the default. Telegram, WhatsApp, and push are one toggle away. The note adapts to fit the channel — concise on lockscreen, long-form in mail.

🎧 Huberman Lab #234
Deep sleep, decoded. 3 things that actually move the needle:
• Drop core temp 1–3°F before bed
• 5–10 min sunlight within an hour of waking
• Caffeine cutoff by 10am
