What people use it for

Now that you're connected

Three ways people put the connector to work. Copy any prompt straight into a chat with Audiogram enabled.

For journalists · analysts

Research and cite

Find what was actually said, in whose words, and quoted with a source. Instead of a vague memory of a line.

"Find the two most recent interviews with Brian Chesky, pull the transcripts, and pull out every mention of founder mode."
For podcasters · marketers

Repurpose episodes

Turn a finished episode into posts, newsletters, and show notes without re-listening or copy-pasting a transcript around.

"Get the transcript of my latest episode and draft a LinkedIn post around the three strongest moments."
For founders · product teams

Listen to your market

Track what your customers and competitors are saying about your space across shows, and name the themes.

"Search episodes about AI coding agents from the last month, ingest the top five, and summarize the recurring themes."
Troubleshooting

If something doesn't look right

I don't see "Add custom connector" in my settings

Custom connectors are available on every Claude plan, including Free (Free accounts can add one custom connector). On Team and Enterprise, an admin may need to enable them for your workspace.

The connection failed, or the window closed

Click Connect on the Audiogram card and try again. Make sure your Google account is signed in. The second attempt usually completes in seconds.

get_transcript says the episode is still processing

New episodes are transcribed on ingest, which can take a minute or two for a long episode. Claude can politely wait and retry, or just ask again in a moment.

What does it cost?

Connecting is free. Search and transcripts of cataloged episodes are included, and the free tier lets you ingest up to 100 new episodes per month. No card required.
