Live · serving two organizations two community organizations
One recording in. A dozen finished products out.
A one-hour talk used to cost a volunteer team an estimated 15–25 hours to transcribe, summarize, clip, and publish. This pipeline does it while the speaker is still shaking hands.
Community organizations record everything and publish almost nothing — because turning a one-hour talk into usable material is a part-time job. The team estimates the manual version of this work at 15 to 25 hours per recording: transcribing, correcting, summarizing, cutting clips, subtitling, designing graphics, uploading, announcing. So most recordings go up raw, and most of their value evaporates.
What we built. A pipeline that takes one link — or notices, on its own, that a live stream has started — and produces the finished set: a corrected transcript, a summary, key takeaways, study notes, clip candidates found by scanning the delivery for its most compelling moments, subtitles, a quiz, and designed infographics. A human reviews in an editorial portal; nothing publishes itself. The output lands in a branded, installable community app — each organization gets its own, with its own colors, events, announcements, and a searchable library where members can find a passage by meaning, not just by title.
The part nobody else has: audio intelligence. Real-world recordings are hard — echoing halls, distant microphones, four languages, many speakers. Before transcription, every recording gets a 25-dimension acoustic profile that predicts the optimal processing settings for that specific file instead of applying one-size-fits-all defaults. Clean audio takes the fast, cheap path; difficult audio is routed through neural enhancement measured at a 5–7 dB clarity gain for under 4% processing overhead. Multi-pass transcription then reconciles disagreements between passes, and content-aware routing decides which segments deserve expensive AI attention — on an 885-segment test recording, that cut post-processing cost by 93% while preserving every flagged critical segment.
Live-stream awareness. When an organization goes live, the platform notices within moments — a push subscription renewed automatically, watched by a scheduled monitor, with a fallback check so a silent failure can’t mean a missed broadcast — and members’ phones light up.
Built like infrastructure. An asynchronous job queue with dead-letter handling for failures, duplicate detection with a human decision window, A/B testing built into the configuration, an admin portal for operators, and per-organization theming. Fifteen months of continuous operation; 221 transcripts and 210 designed graphics produced to date; two organizations live.
What this proves. The content pipeline is subject-agnostic: lectures, trainings, council meetings, webinars. If your organization has a backlog of recordings and no media team, this is the machine that clears it.
Outcomes
- 221 transcripts, 210 infographics, and hundreds of clips and summaries produced across 15 months of continuous operation
- Two organizations run their own branded community apps on the platform today
- Adaptive audio clean-up measured a 5–7 dB clarity gain at under 4% processing overhead
- Content-aware routing cut AI post-processing cost by 93% on an 885-segment recording while preserving every flagged critical segment

Reusable capability: The pipeline is content-agnostic: lectures, trainings, council meetings, webinars — any organization with a backlog of recordings and no media team.
