Turn every podcast into knowledge. Podknow is an AI-powered podcast player designed for more than passive listening. Ask questions about an episode, create concise summaries, follow the transcript in sync with the audio, and check what you remember. Downloaded content and AI tools remain available offline, so you can keep learning wherever you are. LISTEN AND READ IN SYNC Follow the full transcript while an episode plays. The text automatically moves with the audio, helping you keep your place, understand complex passages, and switch between listening and reading without losing context. ASK QUESTIONS ABOUT AN EPISODE Want an explanation, a specific detail, or a reminder of what was said? Ask the AI questions about the current episode and receive answers based on its content. SUMMARIZE LONG EPISODES Create a clear summary of an episode to review its main ideas more quickly. Use summaries to revisit key points, prepare for a discussion, or decide which sections deserve a closer listen. TEST YOUR KNOWLEDGE Turn listening into active learning. Podknow generates questions based on the episode, helping you review important ideas, identify gaps, and remember more of what you heard. USE AI OFFLINE Keep using questions, summaries, and knowledge checks without an active internet connection. Podknow is ready for commutes, flights, travel, or any place with limited connectivity.
