Ask Xiaoyuzhou

Ask Xiaoyuzhou is an AI podcast search engine launched by Xiaoyuzhou. Enter a topic and the AI retrieves relevant episodes, pinpointing the exact time segment where the topic is discussed. One click jumps to that position, greatly improving the efficiency of discovering information within podcasts. It is completely free and requires no registration or login. Compared with rivals like Metaso's AI podcast search, its result relevance appears higher, and it provides episode summaries, outlines, and user comments to help assess content value. Content creators can also benefit from better discoverability through search-driven SEO. The product is still in a testing phase, and some features are not yet fully developed. The interface has a retro design that some users find clunky (browser extensions exist to improve it). Its search scope is limited to podcasts hosted on Xiaoyuzhou, so it may miss content from other platforms. Additionally, it lacks more advanced AI features such as transcript generation and in-depth summarization found in tools like Tongyi Tingwu. It is a web-based service that runs directly in the browser at no cost.
