Allow to add other sources as input for Hedy

I am impressed with the way Hedi manages very large scripts. I wonder if it would be as efficient if we gave it other sources of input like a txt file, csv.
My use case is that we take lots of notes in our CRM during calls and email discussions, but it's a pain to summarize or go back through it each time we start a new discussion with a contact.
Ideally Hedi could bring assistance for our email conversations, and connect with our CRM. Later we could then combine that data parsing feature with this meeting assistance, where Hedy would provide unique insights to meetings by finding data in our emails, documents, and CRM.

This mostly aligns with what Hedy has already done with audio file imports. As a very simple example, there are times that I've used the google voice recorder to record a meeting to help me with my note taking. I appreciate Hedy can now accept and process the audio file, but Google Voice Recorder (at least on Pixel 8) also produces a good transcription txt file. Rather than having Hedy re-transcribe the audio file, I'd love to just Share the txt transcript from Recorder to Hedy. This would avoid the long transcription process, while also allowing me to continue to keep my meeting summaries together in Hedy.

I agree this could be very useful and also fit well with the main features of the product. It would lead to better analysis if you could upload a source to consider for a meeting. If the meeting is reviewing a document or set of documents and discussing, being able to provide Hedy with those documents ahead of time will only improve the output and insights.

Instead of trying to integrate with other systems, an option would be allowing Hedy to act as a user of another LLM system, like Ollama, could simplify integration and reduce complexity. It would also make Hedy more versatile by leveraging the capabilities of local systems users already have in place. This approach could open up a lot of possibilities for seamless collaboration between tools without requiring deep integration work.

Hmm, I think this pivots too far from the original intent. Tying into CRMs, processing Excel sheets, etc etc starts to become too much. Almost a different product... I really like the simplicity of Hedy and making it a do all for all is risky as a SaaS, as it starts to blur niche focus on a target audience. As a product and project manager in software for nearly 20 years, THIS HAPPENS ALOT! I'm well known in my SaaS niche keeping product development team ideas and customer requests in line with marketing and long term vision of a product.
We'll just count this one as a freebie, next time I gotta invoice you for my insights 😜
Hold true to your vision and remember that more can become less quickly when the intent is unclear.
Honesty, I was even considering personal conversation sessions going too far out of scope, but I think recording real human voice conversations and being able to get immediate, live insights or help and the ability to recap and discuss that interaction is a pretty good lane to be in

Wil you probably missed the real vision and potential of Hedy. It's NOT about summarizing audio, it's about being able to have a smart assistant during the session that will ask relevant questions based on your objectives, and answer questions based on the information it received through context input.
If they don't stick to that vision they will soon be replaced by android/ios-native solutions.

Wil The thing that Hedy needs to consider for longevity is that ALL devices will have transcription, translation, and simple meeting features. Hedy needs to keep evolving, or it will become irrelevant.

That's interesting. We've had a few requests for CRM data integration to assist with sales conversations.
For data export, we are working on a Zapier integration that can push conversation data to external systems. But for pulling data from external systems, I believe this would need to be individual integrations, unless anyone knows of a centralized API that we could use to pull data from multiple tools?

Julian couldn't you also use Zapier, Make, or boost.space or something similar to import data?
Julian
Paul I'm not sure how well Zapier, etc, would work for pulling data on demand from other tools. We're actually evaluating MCP for this purpose:
