detail.loadingPreview
Effortlessly transform your meeting audio files into concise, actionable summaries. This workflow automatically detects new audio files in your Google Drive, transcribes them, generates intelligent summaries with key discussion points and action items, and saves them to a Google Sheet.
About This Workflow
Never miss a crucial detail from your meetings again. This powerful n8n workflow automates the entire process of meeting summarization. Simply upload your meeting audio file (e.g., MP3, WAV) to a designated Google Drive folder. The workflow is triggered automatically, downloading the file and sending it to OpenAI for accurate transcription. Leveraging the advanced capabilities of GPT-4.1, it then analyzes the transcript to extract key discussion points and actionable tasks, including assigned individuals and deadlines where mentioned. Finally, the generated summary, along with the date, is neatly organized and appended to your specified Google Sheet for easy access and future reference. This is an ideal solution for teams looking to boost productivity, improve meeting follow-ups, and maintain a clear record of all important discussions.
