SUMMARIZATION

Auto-chapter new Loom demos into a searchable Coda transcript index

When a new Loom video lands in your demo library, this fetches the transcript, generates timestamped chapters and a summary with OpenAI.

How it runs

The automated pipeline, trigger to output.

  • TriggerNew Loom video processed in demo workspaceLoomLoom
  • ActionFetch transcript + video metadata from LoomLoomLoom
  • ActionGenerate chapters, titles, and summary with OpenAIOpenAI
  • ActionUpsert searchable row into Coda index tableCodaCoda
  • OutputWrite deep-linked chapter URLs back to the rowCodaCoda

What it does

Every new product-demo recording posted to your Loom workspace is automatically broken into timestamped chapters, summarized, and filed as a searchable row in a Coda table. Your team stops scrubbing through 20-minute videos and starts searching transcripts by feature name.

When to use it

Use this when your sales, success, or product teams record demos in Loom and nobody can find the one clip that shows a specific feature. It turns a pile of unlabeled videos into a queryable knowledge base.

How it works

  1. 1A Loom webhook fires when a video finishes processing in the demo workspace.
  2. 2The flow pulls the full transcript and metadata (title, duration, owner, share URL) from the Loom API.
  3. 3OpenAI segments the transcript into logical chapters with start timestamps, writes a one-line title per chapter, and produces a 2-sentence overall summary.
  4. 4A Coda action upserts a row keyed on the Loom video ID, storing the summary, chapter list, full transcript text, and deep-link timestamps so any term is searchable.
  5. 5The deep-linked chapter URLs are written back as the final output for instant playback.

Set it up

What you configure once, before turning it on.

  1. 1
    Connect LoomVideo transcripts, libraries.
  2. 2
    Connect OpenAIModels, embeddings, files.
  3. 3
    Connect CodaDocs, packs, automations.
  4. 4
    Set each agent's modelWe leave models unset so you pick the tier — fast + cheap, or top-quality.
  5. 5
    Tune it to your dataEdit the prompts, filters, and field mappings so it matches how your team works.
  6. 6
    Test, then turn it onRun once against a sample, confirm the output, then enable the trigger.
