Turn an Otter transcript into an architecture diagram

Otter gives you an accurate transcript — but a wall of text isn't what your team needs after a system-design call. MeetingSketch reads your Otter export and rebuilds the architecture you discussed as a diagram you can share and edit, plus a one-page brief and action items.

A worked example

Here is a short sample transcript from Otter and the architecture, brief, and action items MeetingSketch generates from it.

Sample Otter transcript
Priya: So today's recommendation service reads straight from the Postgres orders table.
Dan: Right, and every model refresh re-queries Postgres, which is hammering it during peaks.
Priya: The plan is to land events in Kafka, materialize features in a feature store, and serve from Redis.
Dan: Training jobs read from the warehouse — Snowflake — nightly, not from Postgres anymore.
Priya: The API stays the same for clients; only what sits behind it changes.

Executive brief (excerpt)
  • The recommendation service currently reads orders directly from Postgres, and model refreshes re-query the same database — the root cause of peak-load contention.
  • Proposed to-be: ingest order events into Kafka, materialize features in a feature store, and serve from Redis; training moves to nightly Snowflake reads.
  • Client-facing API contract is unchanged, so the migration is internal and low-risk to consumers.
Action items
  • Spike Kafka event ingestion for ordersHigh
  • Move model training to nightly Snowflake readsMedium
  • Add Redis serving layer behind the existing APIHigh

FAQ

Does it work with Otter's .vtt export?

Yes — MeetingSketch accepts Otter exports as .txt or .vtt, plus PDF, DOCX, SRT, and pasted text.

Will it capture services and data flows we only mentioned verbally?

It extracts the systems, components, and relationships described in the conversation, including ones only spoken aloud, and lays them out as a diagram you can correct.

Can I edit the diagram afterward?

Yes. The diagram is fully editable — move nodes, rename components, and adjust connections before you share or export.
