Podcast summaries with AI
Summarize a Podcast Episode From YouTube, Facebook or Instagram
An hour of conversation, ten minutes of ideas. Paste the episode link, or the clip that came up in your feed, and read the takeaways before you decide to listen.

How It Works
How to summarize a podcast episode
Copy the episode link
A full episode on YouTube, or a clip on Facebook or Instagram: tap Share, then Copy link. If the show is audio-only, download the MP3 from its website.
Paste it and pick Key Points
Key Points lists the main takeaways in order. Choose the language you want the summary in, whatever language the hosts speak.
Read, jump and ask
Open a chapter to jump to that part, or ask "What did the guest say about investing?" and get the answer from the transcript.
What You Get
What you get from an episode
Takeaways, not a transcript dump
Key Points pulls out the ideas and advice in the order they come up, so you can see in a minute whether the episode is worth your commute.
Chapters with start times
Every topic change gets a chapter, so you can jump to the part about the question you care about.
Clips from your feed work too
Podcast clips on Facebook and Instagram rarely have captions. PageSum transcribes the audio: the first 5 minutes free, 25 minutes on Pro and up to 90 on Max.
Full YouTube episodes
Most YouTube episodes have captions, so Pro summarizes them at any length. The summary covers roughly the first hour, which is the core of most shows.
Ask about the episode
Ask what a guest recommended, which book was mentioned or what the steps were. 1 question a day free, unlimited on Pro.
Audio files
Not on YouTube? Upload the MP3, M4A or WAV (up to 50 MB, about 45 minutes) and it is transcribed and summarized the same way.
Every episode saved
Each summary lands in your history and is searchable, so the episode you heard last month is one search away.

Frequently asked questions
Can AI summarize a podcast episode?
Yes. Paste the link to a public episode on YouTube, Facebook or Instagram, or upload the audio file. PageSum uses the captions or transcribes the audio, then writes the key takeaways, chapters with start times and a short summary.
Can I paste a Spotify or Apple Podcasts link?
No. Those apps do not give out the audio. Use the episode's YouTube version (most interview shows post one) or download the MP3 from the show's website or RSS feed and upload it.
Does it work on podcast clips on Facebook or Instagram?
Yes, for public posts. Copy the link from the Share button. Most clips have no captions, so PageSum transcribes the audio: the first 5 minutes free, 25 minutes on Pro and up to 90 minutes on Max.
How long an episode can it handle?
On Pro, YouTube episodes with captions work at any length; the summary and chapters cover roughly the first hour. Without captions, Pro covers 25 minutes and Max 90. The free plan covers the first 5 minutes of any episode.
Can I get the summary in another language?
Yes. Choose any of 36 languages. The transcript stays in the language spoken in the episode.
Is it free?
Yes, the free plan covers 1 episode a day (3 on your first day), the first 5 minutes of each, with the transcript and chapters. No credit card. Pro removes the daily limit and covers whole captioned episodes.
Know what the episode says before you spend an hour on it
