The problem it solves

Your team records meetings, webinars, and training videos, but nobody has time to sit through them all to pull out the key points. Important details get buried in hour-long recordings that people never rewatch.

Who it fits

Teams that record meetings, webinars, or training videos and need quick, shareable takeaways.

How it works

  1. A new video is uploaded to a watched Google Drive folder
  2. The video is downloaded and processed by an AI video analysis service
  3. Key topics and a summary are generated
  4. The summary is posted to your team's Slack channel
What you get

Key takeaways from every recorded video

Every new video your team uploads gets a short AI summary posted straight to your Slack channel.

What you get

A Slack message with an AI-written summary and key topics for each new video.

What you need

A Google Drive account, a VLM Run API account, and a Slack workspace.

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.
