When navigating through PodcastAI, the Show Portal serves as your go-to space for in-depth search capabilities, and the AI Host Chat provides an interactive experience with your AI hosts. Here’s how to effectively use both.

Show portal

The Show Portal is a search platform that indexes and presents your memorized transcripts, making episodes easily discoverable based on user queries. Shareable and publicly accessible, this tool is pivotal for enhancing listener engagement.

How do I use it?

  1. Navigate to "Shows" at the top of your screen.

  2. Choose the desired show.

  3. Click on the "Portal" link situated below the show title.

  4. Use the search bar to input any topic, and you'll be presented with podcast episodes that resonate with your query.

AI host chat

The AI Host Chat offers a unique feature allowing users or audiences to engage in a conversation with the AI host of a show, asking them specifics about episodes. To elevate the experience, they can even respond in their voice.

How do I use it?

  1. Begin at your Show Portal and enter a search topic.

  2. From the "Recommended Chapter," choose an episode.

  3. Click on "Chat."

  4. Pose your question or message to the AI host, e.g., "Sean, what was the topic of today's episode?"

Pro Tip: To enhance your chat experience with vocal responses, activate the speaker icon before initiating your search. Keep in mind, generating voice responses might require a few minutes.
