# Meeting Transcript Summarizer

## Overview

Summarizes a meeting from a recording or from a pasted transcript, and returns action items as table rows instead of prose.

1. **Inputs** - `Recording` (`nodetool.input.AudioInput`) and `Transcript` (`nodetool.input.StringInput`, multiline). Fill in either one. The template ships with a sample recording, so clear it when you paste a transcript.
2. **Routing** - A `Code` node tests whether the pasted transcript is empty. Two `If` nodes pick the transcribed audio when it is empty and the pasted text otherwise. A second `Code` node joins the chosen text.
3. **Transcription** (`nodetool.text.AutomaticSpeechRecognition`) - Transcribes the recording with `openai/whisper-large-v3` on fal.ai.
4. **Summary** (`nodetool.agents.Summarizer`) - Writes a Markdown summary of about 150 words with Overview, Key discussion points, and Open questions.
5. **Action items** (`nodetool.text.Prompt` into `nodetool.generators.DataGenerator`) - Returns a table with `action`, `owner`, and `due_date` columns.
6. **Outputs** - `Transcript`, `Summary`, and `Action Items`.
