Questions about
AI interrogation.

Does the AI ever make things up?

No. Every answer is strictly grounded in the episode transcript. If the information wasn't said in the episode, the AI says so — it doesn't invent. Each claim links back to a verifiable timestamp.

Does the episode need to be transcribed first?

Yes — AI interrogation requires a transcript. If the episode hasn't been transcribed yet, Audioask will prompt you to do so first. It only takes a few minutes.

What counts as "an AI analysis"?

Each question you ask on an episode counts as one AI analysis. Saved prompts applied to an episode each count as one analysis.

Can I ask in a different language than the episode?

Yes. You can ask in English about a French episode, or vice versa. The AI understands the transcript's language and responds in yours.

What is cross-episode AI?

A Pro-only feature that lets you query your entire channel library at once — "What did all Acquired episodes say about company moats?" — instead of one episode at a time.
