ChatGPT + Whisper = OMG! Now we don't have to write meeting minutes

OMG! Now we don’t have to write meeting minutes and can fully focus on our meetings — and even make podcasts out of them with ChatGPT and a bit of AI!!! Completely automagically!!!

Okay, enough with the clickbait now, Micke! But seriously, there are so many exciting possibilities opening up with tools like ChatGPT.

In this example I have a meeting with myself, where I put my phone on the table and record the meeting. I mumble, talk a lot of nonsense and try to fool it a bit. I send that to my computer and run my script. The script converts the audio file to text using OpenAI’s Whisper. That text is sent to ChatGPT with the instruction to compile the meeting and make it interesting in the form of a LinkedIn post with hashtags.

ChatGPT does a fantastic job of seeing past my chit-chat and manages to summarize really well. Really well, I mean.
In addition, the text is sent to Google’s Text To Speech and creates an mp3 file that could be uploaded automatically to a podcast service, which employees could listen to, for example on their way to work. It’s a bit rough there, but it’s something you can work on. As usual this is a simple prototype with a few lines of code, but I can see how many smart things we can do now that could save us a lot of time and make a lot of information accessible.
