Transcripts to context

About 4 minutes

Drop a meeting transcript into your vault and Autopilot turns it into structured context: who was there, what was decided, and what someone now owns.

What counts as a transcript

LocalBrain detects transcripts three ways: the filename contains a word like call, meeting, transcript, standup, or interview; the text is shaped like a transcript, with repeated speaker labels and timestamps; or you set type: transcript in the frontmatter yourself.

What it extracts

Autopilot lifts the important facts out of the prose and into frontmatter:

---
type: transcript
participants: [Maya Chen, Devin Okafor]
projects: [Voxbit]
decisions:
  - Ship the v1 beta on Friday
action_items:
  - Devin to migrate the search index
summary: Locked the beta date and trimmed scope.
---

Your words stay put

Only the frontmatter is added. The transcript body is left exactly as it was. The structure is a derived view on top of the record, so if an extraction is ever wrong, you have lost nothing and can revert it.

It feeds your compiled context

Those extracted fields do not just sit on the note. They roll up into compiled context pages, one per project and person, so a decision made on a call becomes part of that project's living page automatically.

Tip: LocalBrain pulls what is actually in the transcript and leaves the rest empty. An honest empty field beats a confident wrong one, so it will not invent a decision that was never made.
