The problem it solves

You've got interviews, meeting recordings, or voice memos piling up, and listening back to each one just to pull out the key points eats your afternoon. Typing up notes afterward feels like busywork you never have time for.

Who it fits

Anyone who regularly records interviews, meetings, or voice memos and needs the key points without re-listening to the whole thing.

How it works

  1. A new audio file lands in a watched Google Drive folder
  2. The audio is sent off and transcribed into text
  3. AI reads the transcript and writes a short summary
  4. The summary is saved as a new page in Notion
What you get

Key takeaways captured without re-listening

You get a short written summary of every recording waiting for you in Notion, so you know the key points right away.

What you get

A Notion page with the full transcript and a short AI-written summary, ready to search or reference.

What you need

A Google Drive account, an OpenAI API key, and a Notion account.

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.
