Inspired by Huberman AI and All-In On AI. I used Golang to download the episodes in .mp3 format. OpenAI Whisper to transcribe. And a combination of Pinecone and OpenAI API's to generate the answers. Frontend is NextJS and Tailwind CSS. As someone who is still trying to land their first full-time developer role, this project was challenging and very rewarding. I really think gone are the days when we have to digest content on 1.5x or 2x speed just to get through it all.

Cool! I'd be interested in a more detailed writeup of how you did this. It's not perfect but looks like very solid work for someone trying to land their first SWE role, so well done.

Maybe re-submit it as a Show HN?

Also, it would be interesting if the answer linked to the relevant episode.

I was planning on writing a more detailed blog post. I think one of the coolest things about it was the vector database and semantic search. Had no idea those things existed. Thankfully, I had done a few projects with PyTorch, so getting up to speed wasn't too bad.

Yeah, I really wanted as much feedback as possible and being new to HN, had no idea what Show HN was. I'll consider re-submitting.

Thank you for the feedback!
