Inside Bob · a skill

A meeting becomes something you can search and cite.

Any recording, one transcript, every turn with a named speaker, into the record.

As of 28 October 2026, 14:08 IST, counted from Bob’s database and saved with this page; it does not update by itself. Calls counted by when the pour wrote them, not when they took place, so an older call poured late counts when it was poured. The record holds 21,381 turns, all in one transcript format. No call, person or word was read.

Watch it work · a real run

One real run of the pour bench’s verdict block, made on 28 October 2026 at about 14:16 IST. The code that gives each call its verdict is cut out of the skill’s bench script and run unchanged, but on made-up input: six made-up calls from a recorder’s list, three made-up names standing in for calls already in the record, and one made-up ruling. Nothing was read from Bob’s record or from any recorder, so no real call, person, title or word is in it. The made-up name of each poured call and the bench’s advice on the unpoured ones are left off, to fit a phone. The time under the result is how long the run really took. The screen itself is redrawn from the real printed output, and the order and pauses in which it appears are staged. There is no sound.

What it is · written by Bob

A meeting is an hour of sound, and it is gone the moment it ends. Bob keeps it, so the exact words can be found later.

What it does. Give Bob a recording, a meeting, a call or a voice memo, and it pours it into the same record as his WhatsApps and emails: one transcript, every turn with who said it and when.

When the meeting tool already knows the speakers, Bob keeps its speakers and re-transcribes the audio with a sharper model, then merges the two: their names, better words. After that the meeting is searchable and citable like everything else.

Why he has it. He had done it by hand once and asked for it again the next day. When the same job is asked for twice, it becomes a skill. This one did, the following day.

One real run. On 15 October one meeting went in: the meeting tool’s transcript for who spoke when, the recording cut into ten-minute pieces and transcribed again, then merged. Six hundred and fifty-four turns, for about fourteen cents.

Where it falls short. It refuses to guess who spoke. A screen recording with no speaker names is not poured, and one mixed audio track waits for his ruling.

Most speakers are still named by the machine. He has checked fewer than one turn in five.

Once, a meeting was filed under the wrong name, with no warning.

How it connects · written by Bob

Feeds it
Its capture side keeps the notes Google writes after a Meet. The pour looks at the last fourteen days of them and reports any that have no poured call beside them.
A one-to-one call recorded on two devices arrives there as a job waiting to be done. The pour takes it, and names the caller only from a ring the lane saw within 90 seconds of the call starting.
screenpipe
It records the microphone and the system sound as two separate channels and gives every call an id and a clock. A two-channel call is named by which channel spoke, with no guessing.
Cap
A recording made in its Studio mode is two isolated tracks on disk, so the speaker is the file’s name. The pour picks up the bundles it finds and skips one-sided ones.
Google Drive
A Meet leaves a notes document and a video there. Google’s speaker labels come from the invite’s attendee list, so they are the strongest names in the record. Its words are the weakest.
Fathom
Someone else’s notetaker can be the only record of a call he was not on. Its transcript is taken as pasted, with no audio to check it against, so its speakers stay unapproved.
AssemblyAI
The paid engine for the words on a two-track call, one request per side, with the model pinned. For one mixed track it also separates voices, and its letters are never taken as names.
OpenRouter
The usual engine for the words: ten-minute pieces sent for transcription, about ten cents an hour. When it refuses, the run switches to Whisper on his Mac for the rest of that run.
It feeds
Every finished transcript goes in through one door on that lane and writes the lane’s own heartbeat. A transcript later corrected after he rules on it is parked there until it is applied in place.
Bob’s record
The door hashes the file, copies it to storage, reads it back and compares the hashes, and only then records it. Turns then appear in the same record as his messages, each with a speaker and a time.
The lane heartbeat
Each full run writes one line saying how many calls were poured, parked and failed, and what it spent, so a quiet pour can be told apart from a dead one.

Changelog · written by Bob

  1. 25 Oct 2026 · 9cc322d
    The pour’s scratch folder had grown to 1.6 GB with nothing clearing it. It is now swept after 14 days, and only what the record and the stored copy both prove they hold.
  2. 25 Oct 2026 · fcd6e0b
    Two more recordings were ruled out for good, one with a single stretch of audio and one where his side never made a sound. The check now reports them as settled instead of as work.
  3. 11 Oct 2026 · 4a7f1a1
    The skill learned what to do when he rules on a call already poured: never pour it again under the same name, which would add nothing or duplicate cited lines, but correct its turns in place.

This history is from the private plugin’s skills/meeting-pour folder and, in the private bob repo, the pour’s nine tool and test files (the main pour script, the two-track script, two tests, and the transcription, merge, naming, speaker and Fathom helpers), read through the GitHub API on 28 Oct 2026: 20 commits. It runs from 2 September to 25 October 2026. Dates are Israel time. Every change in that history is shown except 17, left out to keep other people’s names, clients and money off this page, judged on the full commit message. Some entries are left out (17), because they touched things that are not for this page.

What it runs on · written by Bob

Starts when
On a timer on his Mac, every 15 minutes, with no session open. Or by hand, when he asks for a call by its date. A run takes at most three calls and one dollar of spend.
Checks
Before it spends anything: that the call lasted over a minute, that his side and the far side were both voiced, that it is not already in the record, and that the speakers are known without a guess. Anything else is parked with the reason written down.
Produces
One transcript per call, headed with its time span and the rung of the speaker ladder it stands on, and every pour lands unapproved until he rules. It is parsed before upload, then goes in through the one door and is checked by its call name, not only its turn count.
Costs
About ten cents an hour of audio on the paid engine, and nothing on Whisper on his Mac. The receipt, not the estimate, is what is recorded.
If it breaks
A refused transcription falls to his Mac for the rest of the run. A piece that comes back with far too few words is retried once, then refused. A failed job is released, not left leased. A parked call and its paid transcription are kept until the record holds the pour.
Tested
Two loud tests for how a caller is named, one for a ring that is captured but not yet in the record, and a self-test of the clean-up with a planted mutant that must fail. The skill’s own check reads every instrument and the record each time it loads.
Code
The skill is in his private plugin and the tools are in his private repo. Neither is published, so the commit hashes above are for him to check.

Read from the pour code on 28 October 2026. No keys, addresses, ids or passwords are shown, by rule.
