What it does

Turns a finished Zoom meeting into a clean, skimmable brief. The recording's transcript is distilled into three labeled blocks — Decisions Made, Action Items (with owner and due date), and Open Questions — then delivered straight to the host's Outlook inbox minutes after the call ends, no manual note-taking required.

When to use it

Use it for recurring leadership, planning, or client meetings where the host needs a reliable written record but rarely has time to write one. Best when meetings are recorded to the Zoom cloud and the host lives in Outlook.

How it works

  1. 1A Zoom webhook fires on the `recording.completed` event and the workflow pulls the transcript.
  2. 2A guard checks the transcript exists and is long enough to be meaningful, skipping empty or sub-minute recordings.
  3. 3OpenAI summarizes the transcript into a fixed schema: decisions, action items with owners and dates, and unresolved questions.
  4. 4The brief is formatted into a styled HTML email.
  5. 5Outlook sends it to the host with the meeting title and date in the subject line.
