Learn to build a workflow with OpenAI Whisper, LangChain, Gradio, and multiple LLMs to create an AI assistant for automating meeting notes and task extraction. Missed a meeting? Just upload your meeting audio recording and this assistant will help you automate note-taking, summarize discussions, and extract actionable tasks from it. This technology enables teams to focus on productive discussions and decision-making without missing key details. By generating clear, structured, and accurate meeting records, organizations can quickly access important decisions, action items, and key points.

Your AI Meeting Assistant: Why It Matters

In today’s fast-paced workplace, keeping up with meetings can be overwhelming. Whether you’re catching up on a missed discussion, reviewing brainstorming sessions, or aligning on key decisions, going through lengthy recordings can waste hours of your time. Without an automated solution, you’d need to listen to the full meeting and manually take notes—a tedious, error-prone process that drains productivity.

This is where the Build a Meeting Assistant with Whisper, LangChain & Gradio project comes in. With this simple solution, you can upload a meeting recording and get a natural language summary in minutes. The AI assistant captures key insights, action items, and decisions—allowing you to grasp the meeting content in just 5 minutes instead of spending an hour or more listening and taking notes.

Here's a sneak peek at how the AI Meeting Assistant processes a sample meeting recording.

Who is this for?

Students who need to quickly process lecture recordings, especially those with learning disabilities who benefit from clear, summarized notes.
Anyone who missed a meeting and need to catch up without spending hours listening to recordings.
Professionals looking to avoid lengthy audio reviews while staying aligned on key decisions and tasks.
Teams that need clear, well-structured summaries for better collaboration and follow-ups.
ML/AI enthusiasts eager to learn about multimodal workflows and explore generative AI tools such as LangChain and Gradio.
