TL;DR
What did u/bigsadkittens use Gemini for?
A founder who finds spoken technical detail hard to follow records meetings and runs the transcriptions through Gemini to cut the filler and summarize what was agreed. They say they can review meetings and better understand what's needed, and that meeting scheduling alone can otherwise eat two hours a week.
What they did
They record client meetings, then give the transcription to Gemini to "trim the fat" and summarize it, so they can read back what was discussed and what is needed. Since they work alone, they also lay out their reasoning on stuck decisions and ask Gemini to pick a path, and use it to plan meeting series that follow an irregular or fiscal calendar.
How it went
They say they can review meetings and better understand what's needed, and that meeting scheduling alone can otherwise eat two hours a week.
Worth knowing
- Get consent before recording, and check the summary against the transcript for numbers and commitments.
- Price check: Google Gemini: free plan; Google AI Plus: US$4.99/month (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Here is a meeting transcript. Remove small talk and repetition. Give me: 1) decisions made, 2) what the client needs from me, with any dates or numbers quoted exactly, 3) open questions. Use plain language and short bullets. [paste transcript]
