Automatic podcast show notes: how to never write them again

Ask any podcaster what they put off and it's rarely the recording. It's the show notes. The episode is done, you're tired of hearing your own voice, and now you owe the internet a summary, chapter markers, quotable lines, and a newsletter. So it slips, and episodes go out with two sentences and a link.

Your feed already announces every episode

A podcast RSS feed is a machine-readable announcement of everything you publish. That means a service can watch it and do the work the moment a new episode appears, with no upload step and no reminder.

What Kinode Show Notes generates per episode

Connect your feed once. Every new episode is transcribed (whether or not it has captions anywhere), and you get a bundle: an episode summary written for a listener deciding whether to press play, topic bullets, verbatim pull quotes worth sharing, a list of links and mentions, and a subscriber newsletter draft with a subject line. All of it is written from the audio itself.

Why working from the transcript matters

Generic AI tools summarize your episode description, which you wrote, so they can't tell you anything you don't already know. Working from the transcript means the notes contain the actual quotes, guest names, and specifics from the conversation. It also means you get a full searchable transcript alongside the notes, and search engines can index that text even though they can't listen to your show.

Setup in one sentence

Paste your RSS URL into Kinode Show Notes and every future episode processes itself, with notes and a newsletter draft waiting in your workspace, usually within minutes of publishing. It's $19/month, and it's included in the Plus and Pro suite plans.
