🎙️ Audio-to-Insights Workflow (Form Upload + Google Drive Link)

Description

This workflow enables seamless speech-to-text transcription, AI-powered summarization, sentiment analysis, and automated email delivery.
It supports two different input modes:

• Form Upload (Local File)
• Form Submission (Google Drive Link)

How it Works

1. Input

   • Form 1: Upload an audio file (e.g., .mp3,.wav,.mp4)
   • Form 2: Submit a Google Drive link

2. File Handling

   • Local uploads go directly to AssemblyAI.
   • Drive links are parsed → File ID extracted → File fetched → Sent to AssemblyAI.

3. Transcription

   • AssemblyAI generates transcript text with punctuation and highlights.
   • Workflow loops with Wait + If until transcript status = completed.

4. AI Analysis

   • Transcript is passed to OpenAI.
   • Generates a structured output including:
     • Executive summary
     • Sentiment label & score
     • Key points
     • Action items
     • Notable quotes
     • Topics

5. Email Delivery

   • A formatted email is sent via Gmail with the summary and insights.

Features

• Dual input support: Google Drive OR direct upload
• Handles long-running jobs with Wait + If polling
• AI-powered transcript analysis with structured JSON
• Automated sentiment scoring and summary generation
• Professional HTML email reports
