What you get

The tactics. Not the runtime.

Guest's morning routine

Tim asks about morning routines in nearly every episode. We extract the guest's actual routine — wake time, first hour, supplements, exercise.

Book recommendations

Tim asks 'what books have you gifted most?' Every recommendation captured with the guest's reasoning.

Tactics & frameworks

The specific things the guest does — productivity systems, health practices, mental models. With timestamps for context.

Questions

Honest answers.

Does it work on every Tim Ferriss episode?

Yes — every YouTube upload, including the long back catalog. The earliest episodes are sometimes lower audio quality, but transcription handles them.

Is it really free?

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

Can I track all the book recommendations over time?

Not natively yet, but each summary captures the books for that episode. Save them to a Notion database and you'll build a comprehensive reading list.

Are guest routines accurate?

We extract them as the guest states them in the episode. We don't infer — what they say is what we capture. Always adapt to your own situation.
