Alphy

Alphy

Alphy was an audio knowledge platform that turned YouTube videos, X Spaces, podcasts, and local audio into transcripts, summaries, and AI chat over the source material. It supported more than 40 languages and processed over 500,000 minutes of audio for users who wanted searchable notes from long-form media.

Unlike generic transcription tools that stop at raw text, Alphy paired transcripts with summaries, timestamps, and AI assistants you could question about the source. That made it useful for researchers pulling takeaways from podcasts and creators repurposing video content without rewatching entire files.

Alphy is now a read-only archive. The site no longer accepts new subscriptions, uploads, or AI interactions, but existing public transcripts and summaries remain online for browsing and download where supported. Former users can sign in to access previously processed materials.
