InboxHiiv is an AI-powered podcast summarization service designed for podcast super-listeners, journalists, tech enthusiasts, and anyone who follows multiple shows regularly. The service transforms podcast episodes into structured, skimmable newsletters with chapter-by-chapter breakdowns, key quotes, and takeaways delivered directly to email. Built by Modrn Magic LLC, InboxHiiv helps users stay on top of their podcast queue without feeling overwhelmed by lengthy episodes.
Key Features
- Chapter-by-Chapter Breakdowns: Each episode is automatically segmented into readable chapters with key quotes and takeaways, allowing users to jump directly to the discussions that matter most to them instead of listening to the full episode.
- Smart Episode Alerts: Users receive notifications when their favorite guests appear across different shows or when specific topics of interest are discussed in depth, ensuring they never miss relevant content.
- Intelligent Queue: The AI prioritizes episodes based on individual listening interests and history, helping users decide which episodes to listen to next and making the most of limited time.
- Cross-Show Connections: The service surfaces related discussions across a users entire podcast library, revealing when different shows cover the same topic from unique angles and enabling deeper understanding.
- Email Digest Delivery: All summaries and highlights are compiled into email digests, making it easy to catch up on the go without needing to open another app or website.
For Podcast Listeners
InboxHiiv offers two subscription tiers for listeners. The Free Plan includes 5 podcast subscriptions with unlimited recaps at no cost, making it accessible for casual listeners who follow a handful of shows. The Pro Plan is priced at $5.99 per month and expands the limit to 25 podcast subscriptions with unlimited recaps, premium support, 10 on-demand episode recaps per month, access to the full episode recap archive, and upcoming customizable templates. No credit card is required to start with the free plan, and users can cancel anytime.
For Podcasters
InboxHiiv also provides a creator-facing tool that connects a podcast RSS feed to automatically generate transcripts, show notes, social media content, blog posts, chapter markers, and newsletters for every episode. Setup takes approximately five minutes with a one-click RSS feed connection. The AI processes new episodes automatically as they are published, building a searchable content archive. Benefits include SEO optimization through AI-enhanced transcripts, improved accessibility for hearing-impaired and non-native-speaking audiences, and additional monetization opportunities through ad and referral link integration into transcripts and summaries content that would otherwise remain inside audio files.
Privacy and Security
InboxHiiv is operated by Modrn Magic LLC and requires users to register for an account.
