BUILDER'S BRIEF · OPERATOR ACCESS · ISSUE 001

The Opportunity

Weekly Teardown: the AI tool tested in production, what broke, what shipped, the config to try yourself.

What Otter does: Otter.ai charges $20 per seat per month for AI meeting transcription plus a generic summary. Fireflies charges $10 per seat and produces the same wall of prose. Both products treat the words as the hard part.

What breaks: The summary is unstructured. Decisions blend with chatter. Action items lack owners. Implied agreements never surface. Your team scrolls past a wall of text in Slack, and the meeting outputs evaporate. Otter's $20/seat solves transcription, not structure. Structure is where teams actually feel pain.

What shipped: A Claude-powered pipeline that returns typed JSON every time. Decisions, action items with owners, open questions, implied agreements: all extracted as a structured object the Slack Block Kit mapper can render without ambiguity. Ninety seconds transcript-to-Slack-post, every time.

The config: The full extraction prompt, JSON schema, OAuth boilerplate, Railway config, and Stripe checkout are in the paid breakdown below.

What You'll Build

  • A paste-in transcript reader that accepts Zoom, Otter, Fireflies, or plain text input

  • A Claude extraction prompt that returns structured JSON: decisions, action items with owners and due dates, open questions, meeting meta

  • A Slack Block Kit post generator that converts that JSON into a formatted channel post

  • A hosted web form with Slack OAuth so each customer connects their own workspace

  • A Railway deployment you can ship in a weekend, billed at $49/month per workspace via Stripe
