PodBrief — AI Podcast Summaries for Spotify

Too many podcasts, not enough time? PodBrief reads the transcript of any Spotify podcast episode and gives you a structured AI summary — with timestamps, chapters, and key takeaways — in under 30 seconds. No copy-pasting. No switching tabs. No uploading audio files. Just open a podcast on Spotify, click Analyze, and read the summary right inside the side panel. ### Why PodBrief instead of other podcast summarizers? Most podcast summarizer tools make you upload files, paste URLs, or leave Spotify entirely. PodBrief works natively inside open.spotify.com — no extra steps. It reads the transcript Spotify already provides and turns it into an organized breakdown you can scan in 2 minutes. ✅ Works inside Spotify — no tab switching, no uploads, no copy-paste ✅ Uses Spotify's own transcript — no audio processing delays ✅ Runs in the Chrome side panel — browse and read at the same time ✅ Bring your own AI key — you control the cost ✅ 100% private — nothing stored on our servers, ever ### What you get for every episode 📝 Summary — a clear, structured overview of the full episode 💡 Key Takeaways — the most important insights, each with a clickable timestamp ⭐ Highlights — standout quotes and moments worth revisiting 📖 Smart Chapters — auto-generated chapter breakdown with time ranges (max 15 min each) ✉️ Share by Email — send the complete analysis to a colleague or friend in one click ### How it works 1.
