  5. Enable it in a chat

    In a new chat, open the tools menu and turn on Podskrift, then ask for an episode — for example: 

    Summarise the latest episode of Hard Fork
    Claude chat tools menu with Podskrift enabled.
    Enable Podskrift from the tools menu in a chat.

Check that it worked

Podskrift should appear as connected in your app. In a new chat, enable Podskrift from the tools menu. Ask “Use Podskrift to find the latest episode of Hard Fork.” Look for a Podskrift tool call, then ask for a summary or a quote with timestamps.

If the reply says it cannot access podcasts, check that Podskrift is enabled in this conversation. A long episode may need time to transcribe; ask your AI to check the transcription status before summarising.

What you can ask

Copy a prompt and paste it into Claude after Podskrift is connected.

  • Summarise the latest episode of Hard Fork
  • Get the last three episodes of Lenny's Podcast and list every book they mention
  • Find the exact sentence where the guest talks about pricing
  • Transcribe this episode and translate the summary into Norwegian

What it costs

Uses your Podskrift minutes (trial, credit pack, or your own OpenAI key). Episodes you've already transcribed are free to fetch again on your account. Full pricing.

Troubleshooting

  • Connector already exists — Search for Podskrift under Customize → Connectors. Use the existing connector instead of adding the same URL again.
  • Sign-in loop — Finish Allow in the Podskrift window; if it keeps bouncing, open Settings → Connected apps on the website, then click Connect again in Claude.
  • Not available on your plan — Free accounts get one custom connector. On Team/Enterprise an Owner must add Podskrift under Organization settings → Connectors before members can connect.
  • Revoke access — On Podskrift, go to Settings → Connected apps and revoke Claude. You can reconnect later.
