Use your transcripts inside ChatGPT

What the connection actually does

Copying a two-hour transcript into a chat window is a bad workflow. It blows past the context limit, it strips the timestamps, and you have to find the right file first.

Connecting your account removes all three problems. ChatGPT can search your transcripts by title or by something said inside them, read the one it finds, and work from it. You never open the file.

Setting it up

Go to the Connect page and open WhoScribe GPT. The first time, ChatGPT asks you to link your WhoScribe account; you approve once on our consent screen and that is the whole setup.

The consent screen tells you exactly what you are granting, because the answer matters: read access only. A connected app can find and read transcripts. It cannot upload files, edit text, rename speakers or delete anything. There is no permission level that would let it.

You can see every app you have connected in your profile, along with when you authorised it and when it was last used. Cutting off access is one click and does not require changing your password.

What to ask for

Once it is connected, the useful prompts are the boring ones:

• "Summarise the client call from Tuesday in five bullets, then tell me what I promised."
• "Find where we discussed pricing and quote it exactly."
• "Turn the interview with Elif into a blog post, keeping her own wording where it is strong."
• "List every open question from this week's standups."

The Connect page has ready-made prompts for the common ones — short summary, detailed summary, blog post, social posts — and a field for writing your own.

The rule worth keeping

Ask it to quote rather than paraphrase when the words matter. A summary is a convenience; a decision or a commitment should come back in the speaker's own words, and the transcript is right there to check against.
