AI chat interface with podcast transcript in Sider

Ask Questions. Get Summaries. Go Deeper.

Once the transcript is in, you can actually talk to it. Ask the AI to pull out the main arguments, summarize the guest's background, or give you the key takeaways in bullet form. You can also have it write show notes, a tweet thread, or a newsletter blurb — all from that one recording.

Because Sider captures browser tab audio, it works on Spotify, YouTube, Apple Podcasts web, Buzzsprout, Podbean, and anywhere else your podcast lives in a browser.

Your Transcripts Stay Organized
