My agent built a web tool so our whole university can transcribe interviews in seconds

A university worker used AI to build a web version of a transcription program that used to need a special Windows machine reached by remote desktop. The new tool pairs a speech model with speaker detection on the university's own systems. Twenty minutes of interview audio now transcribes in 40 seconds with the speaker changes right, and students and staff can use it from a browser.

How it works

  1. The AI builds a web client for the transcription program
  2. Pairs the speech model with speaker detection on university systems
  3. Staff and students open it in a browser
  4. 20 minutes of audio transcribes in 40 seconds with speakers marked

Why it’s worth knowing

A tool a whole university's researchers waited on became a web page, built by an agent working with one staff member.
