What this does

Speak AI transcribes your interviews, sales calls, research sessions, webinars, podcasts, and team meetings — then extracts AI insights like summaries, action items, sentiment, and themes.

This connector (built on MCP — the standard way Claude and ChatGPT connect to apps) brings all of that into Claude or ChatGPT. Once installed, you can ask:

• "Find the last 10 customer interviews that mention pricing, group the feedback by theme, and cite the source recordings."
• "Summarize this week's team meetings into decisions, action items, owners, and unresolved risks."
• "Pull exact customer quotes about onboarding friction from recent research calls and format them for a product brief."
• "Find a strong 30-second highlight from the latest webinar, create a clip, and export captions."

The AI does the searching, summarizing, and citing. Your recordings stay in your Speak AI workspace — Claude and ChatGPT just query them through this connector.

Install (pick your tool)

Two paths to install — pick whichever feels easier. The one-click connect path approves access via a permission popup; the manual path pastes an API key into a header.

Don't know which one to pick? If you already use Claude or ChatGPT, install for whichever one you have.
