Automate transcript extraction in the terminal

You can now pull your meeting data without leaving the shell. Run a command that calls `get_transcript` to pipe the text directly into a local file for further analysis. It’s perfect for generating status reports or extracting technical requirements for your next sprint. Just pass the file ID to the tool and capture the output.

Batch manage your recordings via CLI

Clean up your account using shell scripts. You can use `list_files` to identify old recordings and pipe the IDs into `delete_file` for a quick bulk cleanup. This is much faster than clicking through a web interface. You stay in control of your data storage directly from your terminal session.

Integrate meeting summaries into your dev flow

Your CI/CD pipelines can now reference meeting discussions. By using `get_summary`, you can pull the latest project decisions and inject them into your logs or build artifacts. It turns your meeting notes into actionable data for your infrastructure. You define the logic, and the server handles the data retrieval.
