How our summaries are made

This page explains, in plain language, how an episode becomes a Yedapo summary. No pipeline is perfect, so it also explains where ours can go wrong and how to reach us when it does.

1. We start from public sources

Yedapo works with publicly available podcast episodes and YouTube videos, discovered through podcast directories, public RSS feeds, and video platforms' official APIs. We do not host, store, or redistribute the original audio or video. The files stay on the publishers' own servers and platforms, and every episode page on Yedapo links back to the original.

2. We get the words

To analyze an episode we need its text. Depending on the episode, that text comes from a transcript the publisher provides, captions available on the platform, or automated speech-to-text processing of the audio.

3. AI models generate structured summaries

Large language models turn the transcript into structured output rather than one blob of text. A quick summary covers the essentials for previewing: a short executive brief, the standout insight, and who the episode is for. A deeper analysis adds key takeaways, core concepts, a chronological breakdown with timestamps, notable quotes, and actionable takeaways. Quotes and key moments carry timestamps so you can jump to the exact spot in the original episode. Ask AI answers your questions using the episode's own content and cites where its answers come from.

4. Summaries speak the episode's language

Summaries are generated in the episode's own language, and the pipeline currently serves more than a dozen languages. A Hebrew show gets a Hebrew summary and a Spanish show gets a Spanish one, rather than everything being flattened into English.

5. Coverage stays current

New episodes are ingested as shows publish them, and summaries are generated on an ongoing basis, so coverage grows and refreshes with the shows themselves.

Accuracy: where this can go wrong

AI-generated content can be inaccurate, incomplete, or miss the point of what a speaker actually said. That is why every summary links to the original episode, and why we treat our output as a preview aid rather than a replacement for listening. If you find an error in a summary, tell us at [email protected] and we will review it.

What we do not do

• We do not host, stream, or redistribute anyone's audio or video. Playback happens from the publisher's own servers and platforms.
• We never put a creator's content behind our paywall. Yedapo's paid plan gates our own AI-generated analysis, not the original episode.
• We always attribute. Every episode page names the show it came from and links to the original.
• We take removal seriously. Rights holders can file a notice under our DMCA & Takedown Policy, and creators can have their show excluded entirely without filing a formal notice.
