How CultCodex Works

CultCodex is an independent fan archive — not an official Cult of Psyche publication. It indexes episodes, guests, lore, and topics from the @CultofPsyche and @PsychesNightmares YouTube channels to make the archive searchable and explorable.

Episode metadata (titles, dates, thumbnails) is pulled directly from the YouTube API. Transcripts are fetched from YouTube’s auto-generated captions where available.

Several content types on CultCodex are generated by AI (Anthropic Claude) based on episode transcripts and metadata. These include:

• ·Episode summaries (short and long)
• ·Guest / character profiles ("Codex entries")
• ·Notable quotes extraction
• ·Lore entries and topic clusters
• ·Psychenomicon narrative chapters (explicitly mythic/symbolic interpretations)

AI-generated content is clearly marked with a ◈ AI-generated notice wherever it appears.

AI summaries and character profiles describe on-stream discussion and performance personas — not verified real-world claims.

• ·Summaries are generated from transcripts and may misattribute statements or miss context.
• ·Character profiles reflect how someone appears across recorded streams, not their private life.
• ·AI models can hallucinate — descriptions may contain factual errors.
• ·Transcript accuracy varies: auto-generated captions sometimes mishear words or names.
• ·Psychenomicon chapters are explicitly symbolic/mythic interpretations, not factual reporting.

If you find inaccurate, harmful, or outdated information, please use the correction form linked on every episode and person page.

Typical turnaround for corrections is 1–3 days. For urgent removal requests (e.g. content that puts someone at risk), contact the site owner directly.
