Questions

Honest answers.

Does this work on every Shawn Ryan Show episode?

Yes — every public Shawn Ryan Show episode on YouTube, including the back catalog and new releases within hours of posting. The episode just needs to be a public YouTube video.

Is it really free?

Yes. You get 3 free summaries per month with no credit card. Pro is $5.99/mo for unlimited summaries and longer videos.

How accurate is the summary?

The model transcribes the actual audio — not just YouTube's auto-captions, which miss names and technical terms — then summarizes from that transcript. Guest names, claims, and quoted lines are preserved correctly.

Can I export to Notion or Obsidian?

Yes. Every summary exports to Markdown, which drops cleanly into Notion, Obsidian, Roam, or any text-based notes app. Build your own searchable archive of episodes.
