Summarize Interview

Takes your interview transcript and turns it into the structured summary you'd otherwise spend an hour building in a doc. You get participant profiles, themes with supporting quotes, pain points rated by severity, and a clean list of action items you can actually share with your team. It's framed around jobs-to-be-done and distinguishes between what people explicitly said versus what you're inferring, which matters when you're presenting findings. The output is designed to be scannable for stakeholders who won't read a full transcript. Honestly just saves the grunt work of organizing raw conversation into insights, though you'll still want to add your own synthesis on top.
