Use this task to find a moment in your episodes with **Find**, or to ask a question about your podcast with **Ask**. Both tabs are in Ask Podie inside Content Hub. Results link to the exact moment. You can turn them into quotes, clips, or texts. ## Before you start * You need Content Hub access. See [Get started with Content Hub](/documentation/create-and-publish/production/content-hub/get-started-with-content-hub.md). * The podcast needs episodes with uploaded audio or video. {% tabs %} {% tab title="Classic view" %} ### How Podigee prepares your content When you open Ask Podie, or when you ask Clipper or Quote Finder for suggestions, Podigee prepares the episode content in the background. It starts with the most recent episodes. Ask Podie shows the coverage as **Indexed \[n] of \[total] episodes** and, while the work runs, **Indexing latest episodes...** or **\[n] episodes not yet processed**. Text Composer shows **Ready for AI** or **Content not ready** per episode. You do not need to start this preparation yourself. An episode without media shows **This episode doesn't have audio yet. Please upload audio first.** ### Find a moment 1. In the sidebar, select **Ask Podie**. 2. Select the podcast. 3. Open the **Find** tab and enter your words in **Search your podcast content...**. 4. Optional: limit the search with **Episode** (default **All episodes**) and sort by **Best match** or **Newest first**. 5. Review the results. Each result highlights the matching words and shows the timestamp. Open a result to jump to the moment. The context shows the 30 seconds around it. Ask Podie shows 20 results by default. If nothing matches, the page shows **No results found** with the tips **Use different keywords**, **Try fewer words**, and **Check your spelling**. ### Turn moments into content 1. Select one or more results. Ask Podie collects them in the build tray. 2. Select **Create Quote**, **Create Clip**, **Text Composer**, or **Share selection**. **Create Quote** and **Create Clip** need moments from one single episode. **Share selection** copies a link to the selection. ### Ask a question 1. Open the **Ask** tab. A welcome message opens. 2. Type your question in **Ask Podie anything about your podcast...** or pick one of the prompts under **Try asking:**. 3. Select **Send**. The progress shows **Thinking...**, **Analyzing results...** and **Writing answer...**. Ask Podie answers from the transcripts, chapter marks, and episode details of the podcast. When you can see the analytics of the podcast, the answer can also use download numbers. Every answer lists **Sources**. For each source you can **Play this segment** or **Copy**. Under an answer you can: * **Create Quote** or **Create Clip** from the cited moment. * **Save as Text** to store the answer as a draft named **AI Generated Draft** and open it in Text Composer. * Rate the answer with **Helpful** or **Not helpful**. Select **Clear conversation** to start again. Your browser keeps the conversation during the session. ### Expected result **Find** returns the moments that contain your words, with timestamps. **Ask** returns an answer with sources that you can play, copy, or turn into content. ### If you cannot complete the task * The page shows **I'm still learning this podcast!** or a message that the content is not prepared yet: the podcast has no prepared episodes yet. Upload media and wait for the coverage banner to grow. * The page shows **Let's get started!**: you have no podcast yet. Create a podcast and publish an episode. * The answer reads **I explored many sources but could not find a complete answer. Please try rephrasing your question.**: ask a narrower question or name the episode. * A search finds nothing, but you know that the words were spoken: check the coverage banner. Episodes that are not processed yet are not searchable. ![Ask Podie page in the classic view with the message I'm still learning this podcast, the Go to Episodes button, and the podcast selector above the disabled question field](https://2032417310-files.gitbook.io/~/files/v0/b/gitbook-x-prod.appspot.com/o/spaces%2FbqUKO6lljHGzkEAzliPI%2Fuploads%2Fgit-blob-4f55d5698619499062f9514bfe1d24b111b92221%2Fdoc-production-018-classic-still-learning.png?alt=media) Without processed episodes, Ask Podie shows I'm still learning this podcast and keeps the question field disabled. {% endtab %} {% tab title="Podigee workspace" %} The Podigee workspace does not include Ask Podie yet.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter: ``` GET https://docs.podigee.com/documentation/create-and-publish/production/content-hub/search-and-ask-questions-about-your-podcast.md?ask=&goal= ``` `ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language. `goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal. The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation. Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
