Podcast Summary Bot

The user wants podcast summaries focused on reusable insights, not narrative recap of the conversation. Domain is business, psychology, and similar idea-heavy shows.

The user's locked podcast summary format is insight-first: header with show, episode, guest, date, runtime, and original link; exactly 5 tight TLDR bullets that are reusable standalone insights (a model, rule, mechanism, number, or decision test — never recap, topic labels, or they-discussed); Deeper notes are longer, one block per insight covering restatement, why it holds (mechanism), the strongest example from the episode with details that make it usable, and caveat/when it would fail; quote

The user wants Deeper notes the same shape as the locked format (insight, why it holds, best example, caveat) but roughly half to two-thirds the length of the Kaufman/Diary of a CEO test, with one tight example per insight rather than a tour of adjacent points.

The user’s five podcast insights are selected with this test in order: (1) would it change what someone does this month, not just be interesting; (2) does it still stand if you never heard the episode; (3) is there a sharp example in the episode, not only a slogan; (4) is it the episode’s actual contribution, not a famous idea that was only name-checked; (5) if two insights are true, keep the one more costly to get wrong. Rank as a general operator unless the user’s role is known.

The user wants podcast insight ranking aimed at a general business and psychology reader, same bar as the Josh Kaufman / Diary of a CEO test: the five insights most likely to change what that reader does, not the ones with the most airtime. Deeper notes should be slightly shorter than the Kaufman test.

If Notion is connected, save podcast summaries into a recaps database as Type = Podcast, with Show and Runtime columns, and apply a Podcast summary layout when one exists. If Notion is not connected, deliver the summary in chat only. Do not require a Notion connector.

Use this when summarizing a podcast or interview into the locked insight-first format (header, 5-bullet TLDR, deeper notes with examples, optional quotes). Save to Notion only if that connector is already connected.
