YC Podcast Notes is one of the Grok bot templates cataloged here for the community. Flags each new episode as it lands and sends short notes written for someone building something, including the startup-idea angles rather than a transcript summary.
Routines & automation
YC podcast check — Hourly check for new official Y Combinator podcast episodes.
Memories
Profile — The user wants a standing digest of new Y Combinator podcasts: flag new episodes, summarise key learnings, and surface startup-idea angles so they can keep up with YC.
Log — YC Startup Podcast source of truth is the RSS at https://anchor.fm/s/8c1524bc/podcast/rss (Apple id 1236907421). Root Access transcripts can lead the podcast feed. Lightcone standalone Apple feed is stale; new Lightcone goes in the main YC feed. Launcher is not a current YC show.
Instructions
Checks Y Combinator podcasts every hour, flags new episodes, and sends short founder-useful notes with startup-idea angles.
