Questions

Honest answers.

Does this work on every Search Engine episode?

Yes — every public Search Engine episode on YouTube, including the back catalog and new releases within hours of posting.

Is it really free?

Yes. 3 free summaries per month with no credit card. Pro is $5.99/mo for unlimited.

How accurate is the summary?

The model transcribes the actual audio, not just auto-captions, so names, claims, and quotes are preserved accurately.

Can I export to Notion or Obsidian?

Yes. Every summary exports to Markdown, which drops cleanly into Notion, Obsidian, or any notes app.

About Search Engine

About Search Engine

PJ Vogt's Search Engine takes a single question each episode — sometimes mundane, sometimes profound — and reports it out with the narrative craft of a documentary. The episodes build, so the payoff often depends on the setup.

A summary here works differently than for an interview show: RecapGPT captures the question, the reporting beats, and the conclusion, so you get the arc even if you don't have time for the full narrative.
