🦜✨Use OpenAI to Transcribe Audio + Summarize with AI + Save to Google Drive

Target Audience

This workflow is ideal for:
- Content Creators: Those who frequently record audio for podcasts, interviews, or presentations and need a reliable way to transcribe and summarize their content.
- Businesses: Organizations that conduct meetings and need to document discussions and action items efficiently.
- Researchers: Individuals looking to transcribe interviews or focus group discussions for analysis.
- Educators: Teachers and trainers who record lectures and want to provide transcripts and summaries to students.
- Project Managers: Professionals who need to keep track of discussions and decisions made during meetings.

Problem Solved

This workflow addresses the challenge of manually transcribing audio files and generating structured reports. It streamlines the process by automating:
- Audio File Detection: Automatically detects new audio files uploaded to a specific Google Drive folder.
- Transcription: Uses OpenAI's technology to transcribe audio files into readable text.
- Summarization: Generates structured JSON and Markdown reports summarizing the key points, action items, and follow-up tasks.
- Storage: Saves both the raw transcript and the generated reports directly to Google Drive, making them easily accessible.

Workflow Steps

Manual Trigger: The workflow begins with a manual trigger, allowing the user to start the process at their convenience.
2. Search Google Drive: It searches for audio files in a designated folder on Google Drive.
3. Filter Files: Filters the files to only include those with a .m4a extension.
4. Download Audio File: Downloads the most recent audio file found.
5. Transcribe with OpenAI: The audio file is sent to OpenAI for transcription.
6. Summarize Transcription: Two summarization processes occur:
- One creates a structured JSON report.
- The other generates a Markdown document.
7. Save Files to Google Drive: The raw transcript, JSON, and Markdown files are saved back to Google Drive.
8. Send Notifications: Finally, the user receives notifications via Gmail and Telegram with links to access the generated reports.
