Short answer

How can I get podcast episode data into my AI?

Your AI uses the RSS Feed Parser to read the XML from any podcast feed. It extracts the audio file links, episode titles, and descriptions so you can process them immediately. You'll get a clean list of data ready for your next task.

Where every episode lands.

Data destinations

The AI moves the parsed data wherever you need it to go.

LIST

Clean data lists

The AI pulls the raw XML and turns it into a structured list of episode titles and URLs. You can then copy this list or send it to another tool.

SHEETS

Spreadsheet logs

Send the extracted metadata directly to a Google Sheet or CSV. This creates a permanent record of every new episode found in the feed.

CONTENT

Drafting prompts

The AI uses the episode descriptions to write social posts or show notes. It uses the actual feed data to ensure accuracy.

HUMAN

Manual review

You decide which episodes are worth processing. The AI presents the metadata, but you choose which specific URLs to act on.

The workflow

What your AI does when the feed URL arrives.

The AI handles the heavy lifting of reading XML and finding the specific tags you need.

  1. Read the feed

    The AI accesses the podcast's RSS URL to look at the underlying XML structure.

  2. Extract details

    It identifies the specific tags for audio URLs, episode titles, and publication dates.

  3. Filter episodes

    You can tell the AI to only look for the most recent episodes or those matching a keyword.

  4. Format output

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI download the actual audio files?

    No. The AI extracts the URLs that point to the audio files, but it does not download or host the media itself.

  • 02

    Does the AI update the podcast feed automatically?

    No. The AI reads the feed you provide. It cannot push new episodes to a hosting platform or change the feed content.

  • 03

    Can I use this for any podcast?

    Yes, as long as the podcast has a valid, public RSS feed URL.

  • 04

    Will the AI remember previous feeds I've parsed?

    The AI only knows what is in your current chat context. It does not maintain a permanent database of every feed you have ever queried.

  • 05

    Can the AI find episodes that aren't in the RSS feed?

    No. The AI is limited to the data contained within the specific RSS feed URL you provide.
