# Transcribe, pull out short insights with quotes, then keep, maybe or discard each one

Job: [Turn your recordings into short insights and pick which to keep](https://aiagents.org/canai/turn-recordings-into-insight-nuggets)

## Need

- ai agent

## Steps

1. Gather recordings and past content related to your project.
2. Transcribe them and ask: 'Pull out the distinct insights from this transcript as short nuggets, each with the supporting quote or timestamp.'
3. Read through the nuggets and mark each one: include, maybe, or discard.
4. Rewrite the ones you keep in your own words.
5. Use it when you have hours of your own recordings or past material you would never reread in full. Skip it for other people's confidential recordings.
