Transcripts as files

Guide · ChatGPT

Your meetings in ChatGPT

Attach Sæga's files in a chat and you can ask ChatGPT what you decided and who promised what.

In Sæga

1. Settings → Recording → Meetings → Keep every transcript as a file. Turn it on and choose a folder. The picker opens in a folder your cloud already syncs, if you have one.
2. Projects become folders. A meeting in a project goes in the project's folder, the rest in Inbox. When a meeting changes project its file moves too, as long as you haven't edited it.
3. Name and project while the meeting runs. Click the name in the meeting panel to type a new one, and pick the project in the menu below it.

File transcripts (audio and video files you transcribe) go in the same folder. Only want one project's meetings: Edit Project → Keep a Markdown copy of each meeting in a folder.

To ChatGPT

You don't need any sync. Choose an ordinary folder in Sæga and attach the files from there.

1. Open a chat in ChatGPT.
2. Use the + button to add files.
3. Pick one or more .md files from Sæga's folder.
4. Ask your question.

ChatGPT answered correctly across two meetings. Try for example:

What did I promise in the latest meeting with Lingonbolaget, and has anything happened since? Use the fields start and projects.

In ChatGPT you can also add files to a project. We haven't tried that.

What happens to your data

Sæga writes the files on your Mac and never uploads anything. Your own sync, the cloud folder you chose, like OneDrive or iCloud Drive, takes them on, and from there that service's terms apply. The files are not encrypted like Sæga's own transcripts, so anyone who can open the folder can read them. The audio never goes with them.

When you delete a meeting in Sæga, it asks whether the file should go too. A file you have edited always stays.
