Podwise is an app for people who listen to learn. Instead of treating a podcast as a one-off stream, it turns each episode into durable knowledge: an AI summary with key takeaways, a full transcript with speaker labels and timestamps, a mind map of the whole conversation, and a set of key insights. That means a 60-minute episode can become a five-minute read you can revisit, and you can search your entire library for the exact quote or moment you half-remember.
Beyond summarizing, Podwise is built around working with what you learn. You can ask questions of a single episode or across all of them, translate and read episodes in more than a dozen languages, and send notes straight into the tools where you actually think: Notion, Readwise, Obsidian and Logseq, or as plain Markdown. For technical users, an MCP server and CLI bring podcast knowledge into Claude, ChatGPT and Cursor, so an agent can search, summarize and export episodes on your behalf.
It is available in the browser and as iPhone, iPad and Android apps, with a library of public shows, curated collections and the latest episodes to browse. The company reports more than 115,000 listeners and a 4.9-star rating from thousands of reviews, and it targets knowledge workers, researchers, students and anyone building a second brain from spoken content.
