FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI add these shows to my podcast app automatically?

    No. The AI only provides the recommendations. You have to manually add them to your preferred player.

  • 02

    Does the AI change my existing OPML file?

    No. The AI only reads the data from your file to make suggestions. It cannot modify or delete your original subscription list.

  • 03

    What file format do I need to use?

    You need to provide an OPML file containing your podcast feeds.

  • 04

    Can it find podcasts that aren't in my current list?

    Yes. That is the main purpose of the tool. It uses your current list as a blueprint to find new, external shows.

  • 05

    Will it suggest shows I already follow?

    The AI aims to find new content, but it might occasionally suggest something you already have if the pattern is very strong.
