Bookmenti is a search engine for books mentioned in podcasts. When a host or a guest brings up a book, we catch it, link it to the actual book, and keep the quote so you can see what was said.
Podcasts are full of great book recommendations, but they fly by while you are driving, training, or doing the dishes. Bookmenti catches them for you, so a good recommendation is never lost again. The short version of why it exists is a personal one, and you can read it on who created Bookmenti.
Podcasting still runs on an open standard. Nearly every show publishes a public RSS feed with its episodes and audio, regardless of which host it uses (Megaphone, Buzzsprout, Libsyn, and so on). That openness is one of the best things about the podcast world, and it is what makes Bookmenti possible. We pull new episodes for the shows in our network directly from those public feeds.
We built our own internal transcription pipeline, and it works at word level. That precision is what lets us catch a book even when it comes up in passing, halfway through a two hour episode. If you want the whole conversation, every transcript we make is on Podmenti, our transcript site.
Between the transcripts and the platform sits a custom built LLM layer. It reads through each transcript and hunts for book mentions, including the casual ones where nobody says the word "book". It then matches what it found against real published books, with the right author and cover, and saves the quote around the mention so you can read it in context.
The whole pipeline runs on its own every day. When a new episode of a tracked show comes out, we strive to have it transcribed and scanned for books as fast as possible. Charts, reading lists, and book pages rebuild themselves as new mentions flow in.
We started with business podcasts, because that is where the idea came from, and the network grows from there. If your favorite show is missing, search for it and cast a vote on its page, or write us at contact@bookmenti.com.
