A smart read-later queue that helps you finish what you save. Compendro enriches every save (tags, category, summary, transcripts for videos and podcasts), then gets you through the pile: Quick Pick sessions, a Digest on your schedule, and an offline Reader.
how does the Quick Pick session decide what to surface first from the queue, and is there any way to teach it to prioritize certain topics over others?
@arzuyarwhgl Good question. Quick Pick isn't just a time filter, there's a filter panel next to the time picker where you can narrow the deck by content type (article, video, podcast, etc.) and by category, plus sort it oldest first, newest first, shuffled, or by shortest/longest read time. So yes, you can steer it toward certain categories. One honest gap: that filtering works on categories, not on the free-form tags you can add to a save. Tags aren't wired into Quick Pick yet, categories are the lever today. I felt like since tags are added dynamic via AI there are very quickly a lot of tags and its more helpful to use tags to find something in the archive that you want to find again instead of filtering Quick Pick by them.
How well does the summary and transcript feature actually hold up on longer or technical pieces, and is there a cap on how many items you can save on the free plan?
@sedataltrkro1l On the summary/transcript question: transcription works on videos and podcasts up to 2 hours long, and there's no daily cap, just your monthly enrichment allowance of 85 items, so it's up to you how you spend it. Where it gets weaker is really long or dense pieces: the auto-summary and tags are built from roughly the first portion of the piece, not the whole thing, so on something like a 90-minute podcast or a long investigative piece, nuance from later sections won't make it into the summary. The full transcript's always there to read or search yourself, the summary's meant as a quick "is this worth my time" signal, not a replacement for the source. On plans: there's no free plan, Compendro's paid-only (a 14-day money-back guarantee is the trial). Every plan includes unlimited saved items and 85 AI enrichments (summary, tags, category, plus transcript for video/podcast) per month, with top up enrichment packs (cost extra) if you need more in a given month.
On quality for technical pieces, it wont be 100% and accents etc. make it harder, it currently uses whisper for transcriptions, so if you are familiar with the transcription quality of whisper, that is it.
love how it pulls transcripts for videos and podcasts automatically, that is the kind of friction remover that actually gets me to clear the queue instead of letting it grow forever.
@faruk1723009 Appreciate that, transcripts were one of those features where the value was obvious the moment I used it myself, no more replaying a podcast at 1x speed just to find the one part I wanted. Curious what piles up most in your queue, articles, video, or podcasts? Trying to get a read on where the enrichment matters most to people.
