Turn recorded audio into summarized reports in Google Drive

Automatically transcribes recordings, summarizes the key points with AI, and saves the reports to Google Drive.

How the work actually flows

A straight line. A person has to approve before it continues.

The problem it solves

Meeting recordings and voice memos pile up because nobody has time to sit down and transcribe them, let alone pull out the key points. Important decisions and action items get buried in an audio file nobody replays.

Who it fits

A content team, researcher, or administrator who needs recordings turned into readable, searchable notes.

How it works

  1. A new audio recording appears in Google Drive
  2. The system transcribes it automatically using AI
  3. An approver can review the recording before it goes further
  4. AI summarizes the transcript into key points, action items, and a glossary of terms
  5. The transcript and summary are saved to Drive and you get a notification
What you get

Recordings turned into notes you can skim

Every recording gets turned into a clean written summary with key points and action items saved to your Drive.

What you get

A saved transcript and a summary report with key points, filed in Google Drive.

What you need

A Google Workspace account, an OpenAI API key, and optionally a Telegram 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.
