LlamaIndex: Indexing Transcribed Media Data
The power here is turning transient job status into permanent knowledge. After a successful transcription job, you can feed the raw text output from `get_transcript` directly into your index. This means users can query past transcriptions or job metadata using natural language search against the indexed content.
MCP Server: Grounding Answers in Live API Data
When building RAG applications, you need data that isn't hallucinated. Verbit provides this by letting your agent use `get_job` status updates as sources of truth for your index. Instead of guessing if a job is done, the system queries the actual API state and indexes the resulting confirmation.
LlamaIndex: Querying Historical Transcription Jobs
The `get_job` tool's output can be indexed to create searchable records of past tasks. You can query, 'What was the status of media X last Tuesday?' and get an answer grounded in Verbit’s actual history. This allows you to combine document retrieval with live API data access seamlessly.
