Show HN: Podyssey, a smart search engine for podcasts

Podyssey is an AI-powered podcast discovery platform that redefines how users find and consume podcasts. Instead of relying on metadata or broad categories like “comedy” or “society & culture” for search and recommendation, it segments episodes into bite-sized clips (30 seconds to 5 minutes), categorizes them using fine-tuned BERTopic, generates titles for each clip with a fine-tuned Mistral 7B (v0.2) model, and then runs semantic search on top of clip titles. This enables precise, content-focused search and personalized recommendations.

Features include:

- Granular Search: Semantic search matches queries to specific clips, not just episodes.

- Tailored Recommendations: Based on individual listening patterns.

- Ease of Sharing: Share specific podcast moments with ease.

Future plans include speaker recognition, multilingual tools, and generating news articles from transcripts. Podyssey is leveraging AI to make podcast discovery as intuitive as Google made web search.
