What it does

When you send a voice note or audio message, this skill tells the AI agent to keep your exact spoken words (including hesitations and filler words) as a verbatim quote, rather than summarising them. It then decides which folder in your gbrain knowledge base the note belongs in (ideas, people, companies, personal reflections, or a catch-all), stores the original audio, and adds links back to any people or companies mentioned.

Great for

  • People who capture thoughts by voice and want the raw wording preserved in a personal knowledge base
  • Users of the gbrain system who want voice memos filed consistently with cross-links to people and companies
  • Creators and founders who value unpolished phrasing as source material

Skip it if

  • Users who just want a quick summary of a recording: the skill deliberately forbids paraphrasing, so output will be long verbatim text
  • Situations involving sensitive personal recordings you do not want stored in a storage backend or sent to a transcription service, because the skill uploads audio and may call external transcription APIs
  • Anyone not already running gbrain, since the skill depends on its storage, write and routing commands

Try asking

  • “Save this audio note: I just had an idea about pricing tiers for my app”
  • “Transcribe and file this voice memo about my conversation with Sarah from the design team”
  • “Ingest this voice message from Telegram and route it to the right place in my brain”
  • “Voice note ingest: a personal reflection on my week”

Get better results

  • Check that gbrain storage has a working backend before recording important notes, otherwise only the text is kept and the audio is not stored.
  • Mention people and companies by name in the note so the cross-linking step can update their pages.
  • Review filed pages after ingest, since the agent chooses the destination folder and may misroute borderline notes.
