Project Status: Planned

This project is in the planning phase. We're researching voice transcription technologies and designing the bot architecture for seamless Discord integration.

The Problem We're Solving

Ever been in a Discord call where important decisions were made, but you can't remember the details? Discord AI Notetaker is an intelligent bot that joins your voice channels to provide real-time transcription, intelligent summaries, and actionable insights—so you never miss a beat.

Key Benefits

Real-Time Transcription

Automatically transcribes voice conversations with high accuracy and speaker identification

Smart Summaries

AI-powered summarization extracts key points and decisions from long conversations

Action Items

Automatically identifies tasks, deadlines, and assignments mentioned in discussions

Privacy-First

Designed with privacy in mind, with optional local processing and data deletion

Why Discord Needs This

Discord is the hub for millions of communities, from game teams to study groups to remote work teams. However, important information often gets lost in voice conversations. Our bot addresses this by:

Productivity Boost

Never waste time asking “What did we decide?” again. All decisions are documented automatically.

Team Alignment

Members who missed the call can quickly catch up with AI-generated summaries and key points.

Knowledge Base

Build a searchable archive of discussions, decisions, and insights over time.

Technical Architecture

We're planning to leverage state-of-the-art voice AI and Discord's powerful bot APIs:

Voice AI Stack

  • OpenAI Whisper for transcription
  • GPT-4 for summarization & insights
  • Speaker diarization for identification

Bot Infrastructure

  • Discord.py for bot framework
  • WebSocket for real-time audio
  • PostgreSQL for data persistence
💡

Privacy-First Design

We're designing the bot with privacy as a core principle, offering options for local processing and automatic data deletion after a specified period.

Planned Bot Features

Seamless Voice Integration

Simply invite the bot to your voice channel and it starts transcribing. No complex setup or configuration required.

Intelligent Summaries

After the call, receive a concise summary highlighting key decisions, action items, and important topics discussed.

Timestamped Notes

Full transcripts with timestamps and speaker labels, making it easy to jump to specific moments in the conversation.

Productivity Integrations

Export action items to Notion, Trello, or other project management tools for seamless workflow integration.

Technical Challenges

Building a reliable voice transcription bot for Discord presents unique challenges:

Real-Time Processing

Processing audio streams in real-time while maintaining transcription accuracy and low latency

Audio Quality

Handling various audio qualities, background noise, and multiple simultaneous speakers

Privacy & Security

Ensuring sensitive conversations are handled securely with user consent and data protection

Scalability

Supporting multiple concurrent voice channels across different servers efficiently
