Automated AI Audio Transcription, Summarization, and Google Drive Archiving
detail.loadingPreview
This n8n workflow automates the entire process of transcribing audio files from Google Drive using OpenAI, generating AI-powered summaries and reports, and then saving them back to Drive. It includes an optional human approval step for added control.
About This Workflow
This robust n8n workflow streamlines your audio content management by automatically detecting new .m4a audio files in a specified Google Drive folder. Once detected, it offers an optional 'human-in-the-loop' approval step via Gmail, allowing you to review and authorize the process before proceeding. Upon approval, the workflow utilizes OpenAI's advanced capabilities to accurately transcribe the audio into text. Following transcription, it's designed to process this text to generate structured JSON and Markdown reports, likely encompassing AI summaries or key insights. Finally, all generated reports and the raw transcript are meticulously saved back into Google Drive, ensuring effortless organization and accessibility for all your valuable audio-derived data.
