Syapa: The Sloth's Secret Weapon Against Freelance Scope Creep (Powered by Gemma & Local AI)

Description and use

Syapa automates post‑meeting tasks, saving freelancers ~1.5–2 hours per client and eliminating unbilled scope creep through verified detection.

Problem

Freelancers spend excessive time post‑meeting reviewing recordings, spotting unbilled scope creep, and drafting pushback emails.

Outcome

Syapa automates post‑meeting tasks, reduces manual effort by ~1.5–2 hours per client, and eliminates unbilled concessions through verified scope‑creep detection.

Workflow

• 1. Click "Start Recording" in Chrome MV3 side panel during a call.
• 2. Recording is streamed to MediaRecorder and sent to /api/meetings/transcribe.
• 3. Server validates audio, calls ElevenLabs STT, performs speaker diarization, and stores transcript segments.
• 4. Asynchronous pipeline runs Gemma locally via Ollama to extract summary, action items, scope creep, and unbilled promises.
• 5. Deterministic string‑matching verifies quotes against transcript; unverifiable quotes are discarded.
• 6. Generated pushback email and change‑order template are made copy‑pasteable.
• 7. Optional practice mode uses ElevenLabs Conversational AI to spar against realistic client personas.
