Frequently Asked Questions

Everything you need to know about Podmod AI, from getting started to advanced features.

What is Podmod?

Podmod AI is a co‑pilot for live podcast recording. It listens to the conversation, infers topics, and surfaces on‑the‑spot research (links, facts, suggested follow‑ups, images/clips) without forcing you to tab away or prep a huge outline. It is not a full video recording studio yet. The Podmod Team is constantly working to improve the product and add new features.

Getting started

What do I need to run Podmod AI?

A laptop/desktop, a stable internet connection, and a way to route your host + guest audio into Podmod.

Does Podmod AI work with my current recording stack (Riverside / Zoom / OBS / DAW)?

Podmod runs directly in your browser and accepts a single audio input device to listen along. Currently, Podmod doesn't directly integrate into 3rd party conferencing software. However, you can utilize a hardware or software audio mixer to route multiple audio sources to Podmod as desired. Native audio mixing from Podmod is on the feature roadmap. Contact the team at [email protected] for more information.

Does Podmod AI support Windows and macOS?

Yes. Podmod AI runs in your browser of choice (Chrome, Edge, Safari, etc.) on any operating system.

Is there a mobile app?

Not at this time. Use desktop when using Podmod.

Is Podmod AI a transcription tool?

Yes, but Podmod AI is more than a transcription tool. It is a real-time research and interview co-pilot that also provides a full post-session transcript you can export as soon as you finish recording.

Speed, latency & real‑time expectations

How close to real time is Podmod AI?

Podmod AI operates in near-real time—typically low seconds end-to-end—by running fast AI models and parallel web lookups. In practice, it surfaces relevant links and follow-ups faster than a human can search and skim the content.

Accuracy, grounding & hallucination

Can Podmod be wrong?

Short answer: Yes. Any AI system can mishear or hallucinate. However, Podmod shows sources/citations so you can verify before quoting on‑air.

How does Podmod reduce hallucinations?

Podmod AI shows you the direct sources and citations in every card. Although, hallucinations can still happen.

Will Podmod AI ever state facts without a source?

Podmod AI will always show sources with the answers that it provides.

Overlays, screens, and attention management

Will the dashboard distract me?

Podmod is optimized to stay out of your way. It is a quick glance-down reference for extra context. Research is already queued by the time you have discussed a topic.

Can guests see what I see?

No—guests do not see your Podmod view unless you screen-share your browser (or include it in a livestream scene).

Can I bookmark content to refer back to later?

Bookmarks are coming soon! There will be a bookmark button at the top-right corner of each card so you can easily save cards for later reference.

Can I search for more of the content that Podmod gives me?

Yes—click the outlink button at the top-right of any card to open a Google results page with the query pre-filled and searched, so you can quickly see more articles, images, or videos for that topic.

Suggested questions & interviewing

Can Podmod propose follow-ups during a podcast or interview?

Coming soon!

Will it interrupt me verbally?

No. Prompts arrive as silent cards for your reference as you need them.

Sources, coverage, and paywalls

What sources does Podmod AI use?

Podmod AI uses your browser and trusted web sources: Google Search to pull up links/articles, Google Images for visuals, and YouTube for videos. When you ask for a direct answer, Podmod uses AI search with in-line citations to the referenced sources.

What about paywalled content?

Podmod does not bypass paywalls. Results open in your own browser—if you are signed in to a publication you can read it; if not, you will see what you normally would. It also surfaces publicly available summaries/alternatives when possible.

Does Podmod save my recordings?

Yes. Podmod records your podcast audio during the session, and once you finish you can download a high-quality .webm file.

It is always good to be transparent with your guests! Disclose that you are using Podmod, briefly explain what it does, and note that guest audio will be processed and recorded (for export and transcription).

Exports and transcripts

Can Podmod record and export audio?

Yes, you can download your audio after you are done recording.

Does Podmod AI generate full transcripts?

Yes. you can export the full transcript of your podcast right after you finish your session.

Languages

Is Podmod English‑only?

English is prioritized today. Multi‑language detection and code‑switching are coming soon!

Pricing & limits

How is Podmod priced?

See pricing page for details.

Are there usage caps?

Yes. See pricing page for details on the usage caps per plan. You can upgrade your plan for additional recording hours.

Intellectual property & attribution

Can I show screenshots of articles on‑air?

Favor linking/quoting small portions with attribution. Use official press images/videos where licenses allow. Avoid scraping or redistributing full paywalled content. You must abide by the copyright policies of your hosting platform and of all sourced content.

Does Podmod create copyrighted content?

Podmod summarizes and links. Any generated copy is your responsibility to review for fair use and accuracy.
