šŸ“‹ Step-by-Step Build Guide

STEP 1

Connect to Grain API

1. Connect to Grain API — poll for new meeting recordings

Persist the data to the configured storage.

Data structure:
- Include timestamp (ISO 8601) with every record
- Use consistent field names across entries
- Store raw values (not formatted) for future analysis
- Add a source/origin field for audit trail

Storage operation:
1. Validate the data before writing
2. Check for duplicates (by timestamp + unique key)
3. Append to existing records — never overwrite
4. Verify the write succeeded
5. Return the stored record ID/reference

šŸ§‘ Human Required

  • • ## Connect the API 1. Sign up for the service if you don't have an account 2. Find the API settings in your account dashboard 3. Generate an API key or access token 4. Share the key with your agent when prompted šŸ’” Most services have a free tier that's sufficient to get started.

STEP 4

Extract from transcript

4. Extract from transcript: deal stage signals, objections raised, next steps, timeline discussed, budget mentions

Parse the input data and extract the specified fields.

Processing steps:
1. Parse the raw input (JSON response, transcript text, HTML content)
2. Identify and extract each required field
3. Normalize data formats: dates to ISO 8601, amounts to numbers, text trimmed
4. Validate extracted data — flag missing or malformed fields
5. Structure the output as a clean JSON object

For text extraction (transcripts, articles):
- Use pattern matching for structured data (dates, amounts, URLs)
- Use semantic understanding for unstructured data (key decisions, action items, sentiment)

Return both the extracted data and a confidence indicator for each field.

Auto

STEP 8

Weekly

8. Weekly: pipeline report — deals by stage, total pipeline value, deals moved forward/backward, at-risk deals

Compile the gathered data into a structured report.

Format as clean Markdown with:
- Title/date header
- Executive summary (2-3 sentences)
- Key metrics section with actual numbers
- Detailed sections with bullet points
- Action items or recommendations at the end

Keep it scannable — busy people read reports in 30 seconds.
Use emoji sparingly for visual anchors (šŸ“Š metrics, āœ… wins, āš ļø concerns, šŸ“‹ action items).
Include data comparisons: "X this period vs Y last period (↑Z%)"

If any data source was unavailable, note it clearly: "āš ļø [Source] data unavailable — excluded from this report."
