My meeting minutes go out as files now, not a chat bubble nobody scrolls back to

Description and use

Meetings are recorded locally, transcribed, and converted into structured minute files saved in the project repo, enabling version control and accountability.

Problem

Meeting minutes are lost in chat windows and become inaccessible over time, preventing follow‑up and accountability.

Outcome

Minutes become persistent, version‑controlled documents that can be diffed and reviewed, improving accountability and reducing the need for follow‑up emails.

Workflow

• Record mic and system audio via WASAPI loopback
• Transcribe audio locally with faster‑whisper
• Generate structured minutes (summary, decisions, action items, open questions) using a local LM Studio model
• Export minutes as Markdown, plain text, or PDF
• Save Markdown to project repo next to related tickets
• PDF minutes for client-facing documents
• Plain text for quick reference

Evidence

Everything stays on the machine. No cloud, no account, no subscription, nothing uploaded.
