How it works
From podcast to report in three steps
No manual note-taking. No rewinding. Just structured analysis you can inspect by timestamp.
PodReport plans chapters, analyzes transcript sections, and synthesizes citations.
Review the report, jump to source timestamps, and save useful insights for later.
Features

FAQ
Common questions
A quick read on what works best, what gets saved, and what to expect while PodReport is in beta.
Do I need an account?
Yes for generating reports. Enter your email and PodReport sends a 6-digit code; if you're new, a free account is created automatically so your reports can be saved.
What is included in the free plan?
The free plan includes full existing library access. Current beta limits are 10 new reports per week and public YouTube episodes up to 4 hours; these limits may change later.
Do existing reports count toward my limit?
No. If PodReport has already created a report for the same video, opening that existing report does not count toward your new-report limit.
Can I buy Pro or Heavy today?
Not yet. Pro and Heavy are pricing previews for users who may need higher report limits or longer video support after launch.
What kind of videos work best?
Public YouTube podcast episodes with English transcripts, clear chapters, and useful timestamps produce the most complete reports.
Are generated reports private?
Not in the current beta. Generated reports may appear in the shared library, so avoid submitting videos you consider sensitive.
What happens to the YouTube URL I submit?
PodReport uses the URL to fetch metadata, thumbnails, transcripts, timestamps, and source context needed to build the report.
Why do some reports have better chapters than others?
Report quality depends on the source video. Clear chapters and complete English transcripts give the system better structure to work with.
Can I bookmark or revisit reports?
Yes. Signed-in users can bookmark reports, track viewed reports, and reopen generated reports from the library.
Can I delete a generated report?
You can submit an account or report removal request from Account & Data. Fulfillment is manual during beta, so only submit videos you are comfortable adding to the shared library.
How long does generation take?
Most reports take a few minutes because PodReport fetches the transcript, plans chapters, analyzes the source text, and renders citations.
What AI providers are used, at a high level?
PodReport uses OpenAI-compatible language models for report generation, plus Supabase for auth/storage and transcript/metadata providers for source retrieval.
Is the transcript always from YouTube or sometimes third-party fallback?
PodReport tries available YouTube transcript sources first. If those fail and a fallback provider is configured, it may use a managed third-party transcript fallback.
Does PodReport generate transcripts?
No. PodReport currently uses available YouTube transcripts and native transcript fallbacks when exposed by the provider.
