Northlight Meetings

Discovery call to client-ready proposal — automatically.
Record a scoping conversation. Groq extracts scope, deliverables, timelines, and budget from the transcript. A formatted proposal lands in your Google Drive before you've closed the call window. Then handles your regular client check-ins the same way — transcription, task filing, calendar sync, all automatic.

10 min Discovery → proposal
4 Integrated platforms
4 days Full build time

A 45-minute discovery call turns into 90 minutes of proposal writing. You're reconstructing scope from notes, filling in timelines from memory, formatting deliverables from scratch — all before the client has lost interest in the conversation you just had.

Meetings collapses that into 10 minutes of review. The app records the call, extracts what the client said, and populates the proposal template automatically. For standing client calls, the same pipeline files notes, tasks, and calendar events without you touching a keyboard.

01  ·  The differentiator

Discovery Call → Client Proposal

Record a discovery or scoping call in Proposal mode. Groq Whisper transcribes both sides of the conversation. Groq Llama extracts scope, deliverables, timelines, budget signals, and key constraints — then populates the proposal template directly in Google Drive. A formatted, client-ready proposal lands in Drive before you've closed the call window. No other transcription tool does this.

1:04So you're looking to consolidate three separate reporting tools into one dashboard — by end of Q3?
1:18Exactly. And it needs to pull from both Salesforce and our internal data warehouse.
1:31Budget is somewhere in the $15–20k range. We'd want a working prototype in six weeks.

Analyse, Review & File

Groq Llama extracts structured meeting notes, action items, and key dates. Review the output, approve or edit items, then push with one click — Drive doc from template, ClickUp tasks from action items, Calendar events from extracted dates. All three in one action.
