The problem it solves

Sitting down to transcribe and summarize a meeting, interview, or lecture recording takes far longer than the recording itself. Notes end up scattered or never get written up at all.

Who it fits

Researchers, content creators, students, or professionals who record audio and need it turned into usable notes.

How it works

  1. A new audio file is uploaded to a watched Google Drive folder
  2. The file is downloaded and transcribed by AI
  3. The transcript is read and turned into a clean summary
  4. A new Notion page is created with the summary and file details
What you get

Clean notes ready inside Notion

You get every new recording turned into a clear summary and saved directly into Notion for easy reference.

What you get

A Notion page with a written summary of each new audio recording.

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.
