Create Meeting Minutes with OpenAI

Contents

Overview

This article introduces how to summarize meeting transcripts from Kintone records using Make (External link) and OpenAI's ChatGPT (External link) .

What is ChatGPT

ChatGPT is an AI-powered language model developed by OpenAI, capable of generating human-like text based on context and past conversations. ChatGPT is trained to follow instructions in a prompt and provide a detailed response.

General Flow

The general flow of the operation is as follows:

  1. Download a transcript of the meeting.
  2. Upload it to the Kintone App.
  3. ChatGPT is triggered when a record is uploaded. It creates the meeting minutes and automatically uploads them to the Kintone Record.

Required Environments

In addition to a Kintone environment, the following will also need to be prepared:

  1. Kintone Users & System Administrators (External link) permission.
  2. An OpenAI account. For more plan details, refer to the OpenAI Pricing (External link) page.
  3. A Make account. For more plan details, refer to the Make Pricing (External link) page.

[Meeting Starts]

Sarah: Good morning, team. Thank you for joining this meeting to discuss our Kintone marketing strategy. As you all know, Kintone is an innovative cloud-based business application development platform that empowers both developers and non-developers to create powerful business apps in minutes. Our goal today is to brainstorm ways to effectively promote Kintone's unique capabilities. Alex, would you like to kick things off with a digital marketing overview?

Alex: Absolutely, Sarah. Good morning, everyone. Our digital marketing plan will revolve around showcasing how Kintone makes app development accessible to all. We'll be targeting professionals in various industries who are looking for efficient ways to streamline their business processes. Our strategy includes using social media platforms like LinkedIn and Twitter to reach professionals and promote Kintone's ease of use and time-saving features.

Lisa: That sounds like a solid approach, Alex. Building on that, I've been drafting content that highlights success stories of individuals who were able to create their own business apps using Kintone. These real-world examples will not only resonate with potential users but also emphasize the platform's user-friendly interface and quick app creation process.

Michael: Great point, Lisa. From a sales perspective, I envision using these success stories as powerful tools during our outreach efforts. Demonstrating how Kintone has empowered businesses of all sizes to customize their own apps rapidly can significantly influence decision-makers. We'll also focus on showing how these apps translate to increased efficiency and productivity.

Sarah: Collaboration is key here. Lisa, let's ensure that the success stories you're working on align seamlessly with the messaging in Alex's digital marketing strategy. It's crucial that our content and ads deliver a consistent message that resonates with our target audience.

Lisa: Absolutely, Sarah. I'll coordinate with Alex to ensure the content we create complements the overall marketing narrative.

Alex: Perfect, Lisa. And let's not forget about leveraging user-generated content. We can encourage current Kintone users to share their experiences on social media using a specific hashtag, showcasing how they've transformed their business processes with custom apps.

Michael: I agree, Alex. Genuine testimonials from actual users can build trust and credibility in our marketing efforts.

Sarah: Lastly, let's consider hosting a webinar to dive deeper into the benefits of Kintone. We can walk potential users through the platform, demonstrate how quick app development is, and showcase a real-time app creation process.

Lisa: I like that idea, Sarah. A webinar would provide an interactive platform to engage directly with our audience and address any questions they may have.

Michael: I'll make sure to communicate the webinar details to our sales team, so they can promote it to leads and prospects.

Sarah: Excellent. It's clear we're all aligned on our approach. This integrated strategy, showcasing the ease and speed of creating business apps with Kintone, will undoubtedly resonate with our target audience. Let's execute this plan and make our Kintone marketing campaign a success!
