Inboxhiiv is an AI-assisted tool for podcast listeners. Its core purpose is to help users keep up with the podcast shows they follow via email and reduce information overload. Users do not need to install any app; they only need to choose the shows they want to follow, and when new episodes are released, the system automatically sends brief recaps to their inbox.
Main capabilities include: smart episode summaries, where AI identifies key points, memorable quotes, and the main topics discussed to help users quickly grasp the value of an episode; detailed chapter breakdowns, providing timestamped chapter summaries so users can jump directly to the discussion parts they are most interested in; smart episode alerts, with notifications when favorite guests appear on different shows or when specific topics are discussed in depth; a smart queue, which prioritizes episodes based on user interests to help decide what to listen to next; and cross-show connections, which surface related discussions in the podcast library so users do not miss content where different shows cover the same topic from unique angles.
How to use it is simple: search for and follow favorite shows, and after each new episode is released, the summary is delivered by email. The official offering includes two plans, free and paid (heavy listeners): the free version allows following up to 5 shows, with an email recap for every new episode, and no credit card is required; the paid version allows following up to 25 shows, provides recaps for 10 past episodes per month, and allows reading already generated recaps of past episodes. Specific pricing is not stated in the provided information and is not available for now.
Use cases include: users who want to efficiently filter podcast content, save listening time, track specific guests or topics, and manage a large number of podcast subscriptions. In terms of limitations: the information does not state details such as supported languages, podcast source platforms, summary accuracy, or the AI model used, and these are not available for now.
