The problem it solves

Your team records meetings, interviews, and webinars, but the recordings just sit there because nobody has time to transcribe them. Manually typing out video content eats hours you don't have. Important quotes and details end up lost in files no one rewatches.

Who it fits

Teams that regularly record meetings, interviews, webinars, or training videos and need searchable written records.

How it works

  1. A new video uploaded to a watched folder starts the process
  2. The video is sent off for AI transcription with timestamps
  3. Audio content and on-screen descriptions are both captured
  4. A formatted transcript document is created for you
What you get

Meetings that become searchable text on their own

Drop a recording into a folder and get back a timestamped, searchable transcript in Google Docs, ready to search or share.

What you get

A timestamped transcript document for every video, ready to read, search, or share.

What you need

A Google account with Drive and Docs access, and an AI transcription service subscription.

We can build this. But should you?

The hard question is not how to build it. It is whether this is the right thing to build first.

That is what a Fractional Chief AI Officer figures out with you, before anyone writes a line of code.
