There are dozens of meeting recorder tools out there, I've tried most of them This is the best integration of recorder + LLM by far Asking follow-up questions in a @perplexity_ai space after a meeting without copy & pasting is a powerful experience!

I will admit I have slept on @canva Magic Write In this example I took a 14 minute transcript ↓ Pasted all of the text into a Canva doc ↓ Prompted Magic Write to turn it into simple, step-by-step instructions ↓ Got a great output without having to copy & paste across Gen AI tools

AI Studio by @google is the most under-appreciated Gen AI tool around Exhibit A: upload mp3 of a 27 min podcast= high quality transcript with speaker labels on paragraphs in less than 1 min...for free! Do you know of any other models that can transcribe audio from mp3 or wav?

Context & integrations are the only moats left for Gen AI tools @google is winning at integrations currently, and it's not even close! Here's an example: Deep Research -> Export to Google Doc. But now you can also have Gemini code a website, build an infographic, write a quiz, or audio sum
