00:00:00 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Alright. So 00:00:02 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Oh my gosh. It's not blue still. 00:00:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It's killing me. Yes. It's still not blue. But overall, I think the in the the the the landing page is a lot cleaner already, and it is so great that I can just put the drag and drop. Oh my gosh. I love it. Because that saves, like, upload and going into it and picking a file. It's just so much easier, especially if you wanna upload multiple things. So I don't know. This one is from my call. Uhhuh. 00:00:31 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Go back real quick. So you should be able to click on your name up there, RDHT. Does that let you click on it? Oh, it does. It it just 00:00:40 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It has. 00:00:40 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Straight up. Okay. Alright. 00:00:42 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It's just not yeah. And so sometimes that this thing up here is super irritating because there's always refresh and log out, and then there's this one, but only if I'm in it. And then but then it's still kind of highlighted, but then and that was the issue I was trying to explain on Saturday before you changed the entire layout around. Like, when you click on the library, see, it doesn't highlight the library. So I I first thought it doesn't change. It does. And today, I can see it better, but it it's just but that's just I don't know. 00:01:18 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. So the home page is just today's items, and then the library is all of your items. 00:01:22 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. 00:01:25 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. So real quick. Right click on your screen for me, just anywhere. Inspect. So this has gotta be a pathing problem. And then, oh, yours is on the bottom. 00:01:39 - [SCOTT_WARNER] How did 00:01:40 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] it I wonder mine's on the side. Alright. Back end. Where do I I click there. Alright. See where it says at the very top where it says HTML lang equals e n? Kinda up straight down. There you go. Right? Click that. 00:02:00 - [SCOTT_WARNER] A view source or just overall? 00:02:02 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yep. Just right there. Okay. So BG is your background is wrong. How in the heck are you getting a different background than me? 00:02:15 - [SCOTT_WARNER] We're on I don't know. 00:02:16 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Damn server. It should be o b one two two two o, and yours is F6 wait. Your text looks like text o b one two two two o. 00:02:33 - [SCOTT_WARNER] What the heck is going on? Interesting. 00:02:38 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Alright. Do click on that view source where you saw it. This is gonna be hard to read, though. Drag a video. Gotta make mine bigger. 00:02:55 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I can zoom in or anything if that helps. 00:03:00 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Actually so just close that whole side window. Yeah. And then right click again anywhere and say view page source instead. Alright. So it should say static CSS. Yes. PNG. Yes. Top nav. Where's the linking go? Oh, can you click on where it says staticbaron.css kinda up near the top a little bit? Yeah. There. And then see what mine says. So root BG. Okay. So see where it says root BG? That's the right one. I just don't know why it's not pulling for you. 00:03:46 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I don't know either. 00:03:47 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Oh, I know what this is. You don't have your windows set to dark mode. You have your set to light mode. 00:03:56 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Ah, well, I do have my Teams set to dark mode, but not my not my overall window. No. 00:04:03 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Oh, I didn't even think about that because I I mine's always set to dark because how about that? Well, there's a lot of things you don't see because I programmed it for dark mode. So 00:04:16 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Oh, really? 00:04:17 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I'll I'll fix it. So I don't actually, just let's see if it fixes it. So go ahead and close that. And then I think on the three dots up there, you can change it on on yeah. And then 00:04:31 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Settings? 00:04:32 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Settings, probably. Yeah. 00:04:37 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Appearance, probably. 00:04:39 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. So go to dark real quick. Just let's see if that fixes it. Alright. Now you can just leave that oh, look at that. Okay. 00:04:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Is that how it's supposed to look? 00:04:52 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] That's how it looks on mine. Yeah. 00:04:54 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Dark blue. Okay. Yeah. 00:04:56 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. It's our blue with, like, some lighting shading. But, like, certain things will turn different colors at times, which maybe it did on yours. I don't know. Okay. Sorry. I'll deal with that later. So I guess just give me this. Would do you prefer darker light based on what you've seen so far? 00:05:14 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I don't mind working in the dark mode. I mean, again, my Teams is in dark mode too. I really I really prefer that. So let's just keep it. 00:05:22 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. Anyway, I can fix it to get rid of light mode. I don't I didn't I forgot I kinda put light in first, and then I added dark later. 00:05:28 - [SCOTT_WARNER] So okay. 00:05:28 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] So go ahead and click on one, whichever one you wanna look at real quick. 00:05:32 - [SCOTT_WARNER] So I don't know. The moon cam thing, for example, this is how it looks on my end. 00:05:37 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. So I'm gonna change a few more things. Like, I don't like that the transcript is before the things. I wanna put them side by side. I wanna re put the rerun steps into a single bar instead of where it's at. But, anyway so the way it works right now is when you upload, first off, it converts your the the video file or if it's an audio file, it converts it into a shrunken version that that fits my, what I need to run the transcript. The second step is it sends the raw audio file or the new audio file off to an API, and it gets transcribed in what's called diaritized, which is it breaks it out into speakers. K? It sends that back, and then I parse it out into this what you're looking at right now where it says speaker. Okay? Next, it then creates this area where you can do naming. Right? Which naming is something that is optional, but works better if you do it. And then oh, I'm sorry. So so but before you've named it, right, it sends it off to get summarized first, and then it sends that back. And then what the delay that you're seeing now is it sends the sum or the transcript out to get analyzed and tries to fix it because, sometimes it was creating double words like you'll see, you know, okay, okay, and then things like that. So if you click on this when did you run this one? Do you know? Was this today? 00:07:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Mhmm. Okay. And and I'm actually this is the first one I ran in German, and it's interesting because it translated the full transcript into English. 00:07:14 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Oh, yeah. I did tell it to do that because I when I heard German, I wanted it to be English, but I can tell him to stop doing that if you want. 00:07:23 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But I think it's funny because 00:07:26 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I don't know if it's the translation or not. 00:07:30 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It only caught but not what I was saying. It's super interesting. Okay. 00:07:37 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Well, so I'll turn off the English force and allow it to detect German as well because remember, I wrote this for me, I don't speak German. So I was like, okay. 00:07:49 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But it can be interesting for you as well if you wanna keep the nuances or the the words that have been said. 00:07:56 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Sure. Okay. So click on the reviewed button. It's kinda under full full transcript preview. Yeah. Click that for me. It didn't do anything. Okay. Let's pick a different one because this one as a translation doesn't seem to be okay. 00:08:12 - [SCOTT_WARNER] K. Let's just do the Adapt X one that we were talking about. 00:08:18 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. So now let's go down to full transcript. Okay. So now I can tell this one's fixed because CF105 where speaker o three has a lot of lines there. Do you see that one? Kinda down towards the bottom right there. Mhmm. Okay. So, normally, that's broken up. So if you scroll back up and go to 00:08:42 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Mhmm. 00:08:42 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Where it'll be it'll show you what it really looked like. See where it says 00:08:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Where? 00:08:50 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Raw right to the side. So right above where so we're Oh. Like yeah. So that's the raw transcript that so you can scroll down, and you'll see see how it's all, like, separate lines for everybody? 00:09:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. Every sentence, basically. 00:09:06 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. So what I did is I told it to take those, put them together, and create recreate the sentence and remove utterances and things. Because people go, uhuh, uhuh, and it removes those kinds of things. So that part taking longer is it's going through and trying to parse that a little bit. But I find it gives much clearer, summaries if you do this because it doesn't sometimes it would miss assign things to the wrong people and and things like that. So now the problem I have and the question I guess I have for you is it would be better if I ran the summary after I did the fix, but it will introduce a delay, a little bit. And what I was wondering from your side is does the summary not having the real people's names in it bug you? Because if you do it before you summarize it, which is how I normally do it, it writes the to do items as, like, sentences. It'll say Amity needs to do this or whatever. Whereas this way, I don't know if you noticed, it'll put, like, Amity Sendama or whatever name you put in. Like, it puts kind of a weird 00:10:11 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yes. 00:10:12 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Thing there. So I didn't know if you had a real preference. I mean, if it's working fine as is, I don't really need to change something. But I I mean, I can show you an example of the difference, but, I just noticed it because I ran one my old way yesterday and ran one my new way, and I compared the two. And my old way reads a lot more like like, you could email those notes out, and it would look like you wrote it. Whereas this 00:10:37 - [SCOTT_WARNER] one Without correcting them. Yes. 00:10:39 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] This one seems more AI ish. So but I don't wanna slow it down for you if you say, dude, I just need this to be, like, a quick and easy thing. I can make it faster. I just was curious kinda how you felt about it. So 00:10:56 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I would probably prefer it the other way and not this way, but it I mean, this is already making my life a lot easier, so it's not a huge fix to just change those around. But I I agree that it's a lot more natural to kind of just have, like, it in a in a in a proper sentence. 00:11:18 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] So the only problem with doing it the real right way is it would pause at the speaker piece, and it would wait for you to come in and either or it would you would just have to click save speakers once. So you would either put real names in or you could leave it as is, and it would go forward, but it wouldn't it wouldn't write the summary until you came in here once to click save speaker names. Basically, you have to assign speakers first. 00:11:44 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yes. But I personally don't want the summary without names anyway. Right? 00:11:50 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] That's I 00:11:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] mean, I don't know. 00:11:51 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] That's me too. But what I was worried is I don't wanna make Scott's quirks something you have to deal with. So if you agree, then I think that's the right way to go because that's the way the way it's the way I wrote it. You know, let me pull some number real quick. One second. 00:12:08 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I do understand both perspectives. But, again, like, I would I wouldn't I wouldn't save it without adjusting the speakers. So for me, that wouldn't slow it down at all. It's just part of the process to complete it. 00:12:23 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. Here's one. Come on. I've I've broken one of my favorite apps. I'm thinking now it takes forever to load, and I don't know what I did. So come on. Okay. See where it's orange up top? Was that orange on your white version? 00:12:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yep. 00:12:59 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. Is that better than it was for you? Like, because remember how it just had the 00:13:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] This one? Yeah. Yes. It's a lot better. 00:13:11 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. So now I'm gonna share my screen real quick. So one second. Share. Unmute notepad. Okay. Put you back. It's not 00:13:32 - [SCOTT_WARNER] working. Anyway, you 00:13:34 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] get it. Alright. So let me scroll in. So here's what my transcript looks like. So I always do first name, last name. Actually, I do the four letters. So if you memorize people's four letters, you can put it in there. And I haven't turned it on for this, but I'm gonna do today because it's annoying me that it doesn't do it. It it goes ahead pulls the full name and puts it in there. Yeah. So this is what mine looks like raw. Okay? And then my sync, you can see, you know, it looks more natural. So attendees, Casey, Shawn Remick, set Warner, and then it says, you know, we held blah blah blah. Hold on. Yeah. Anyway, try find yourself. Anyway, but, like, to dos, you know, Casey, align, Scott. So instead of, like, instead of it saying Warren or whatever, it it gives, like, more natural language stuff for the to dos and things like that. I just I find it better because then I can just email this to somebody, and they don't, I guess, for lack of a better word, I don't I just don't want people focused on what it looks like. I want them to read it and and focus on to dos and things like that. So so is that kinda more what you were thinking as well? 00:14:41 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. I yeah. No. Especially if I mean, in this case, it's super summarized under each responsible, but overall, just going by names is a lot more natural. 00:14:54 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:14:54 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Like, yesterday, for example, I had I had one hour onboarding with Mini and our Canadian fuel card provider, and she kind of ran us through the system and how it's used because it's super intuitive, and it feels like 19.96 in there. 00:15:13 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. 00:15:13 - [SCOTT_WARNER] And I I I used a transcript and put it actually into JGPT afterwards because I wanted it to summarize the work instructions 00:15:24 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:15:24 - [SCOTT_WARNER] That she gave us in that call. So Minnie has something to go back to later and kind of review. Hey. If you wanna do this, these are the steps you need to take, and this is what you need to click on. And then I asked it to summarize the followup instructions as well. And it actually gave me a way smoother wording. And it was like, France is forwarding such and such to Mini, and Mini is looking up such and such and forwarding it to France afterwards. So it was way more natural than France, double dots. 00:16:01 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. No. I think that so that's that's the best part about it is you can, like that's why I keep the transcripts and the summaries is you can upload a transcript and you can say, you know, hey. You know, I needed to write an email back to Amity about that topic. Can you you know, here's where I am. Can you draft a new response? And it'll, boom, kinda create an email. Now you still have to edit it. You've done it. You know, like, wording's usually not perfect, but it it creates those structures for you very fast. But, yeah, I've done it before. Like so when I met with Patrick not Patrick, Christian Barter and Norbert, like, they kinda walked me through process. So I said, can you create an SOP for me using Yep. And and it looked like, boom. Here's how I do it. And I was like, oh my god. That's so awesome. So yeah. Yeah. Stopped me from having to go handwrite and what was that? And then write. You know? 00:16:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Well and then afterwards, putting it into a word format and making it available, and I don't know. It it was it it came back with a six page work Word document with all the instructions in super intuitive understanding language because I asked it to write it in a way that Mini can work with it, and it was just amazing. 00:17:14 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I love it. 00:17:15 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But Minnie was like, did you use AI to do that? She's she's getting very skeptical about everything I do. 00:17:23 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Well well, that's the new question everybody asks is did you use AI? And it's like, I always wanna be like, yeah. But you're missing the point. I made it perfect. You know? But I always tell people, yeah. I used AI. I use AI on anything that's gonna make me faster or better. So 00:17:39 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Well and, I mean, to be honest, in the end, yes, it's definitely saving time, but just you still have to go over it. And I still had to kind of reformat it, and I I still had to take things out because sometimes it's including duplicates. And, I mean, I it's there is still some work that needs to go in it. It's just I don't have to repeat something that somebody else said again and again in yeah. Not even I don't even wanna use my own language for that because I just need to follow the process that they described. So Right. I really like it. 00:18:13 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] And one thing you haven't gotten to yet that you will, I think, love is after multiple meetings on a topic is is sending multiple transcripts all at once and saying, you know, can you create a summary of where we're at today and what's going on and, you know, just Oh, yeah. So it'll create, like, a one page draft for you just to read right before a meeting, and you can, like it's just really so, like, think corporate structure. Right? We meet so infrequently that it's kinda hard to remember where we're at. So you can do that, and it'll give you, like, a one pager of here's where here's where you were in this meeting, this meeting, this meeting. Here's the decisions that were open. So I feel like I can start a meeting without, like, where were we? You know, that kind of discussion. So 00:18:53 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. Anyway, 00:18:55 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] well, I'm 00:18:56 - [SCOTT_WARNER] glad you're liking it. So I just would love to appreciate if we tell each other that we are recording each other's one on one just to be fair. 00:19:05 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. I generally don't because it takes up a lot of space. Right? So I don't do a ton. Oh, that's the I need to make sure the server deletes all the files. I it's supposed to, but I need to go I wanna make sure it does. So no. Yeah. I I think that's right. I I've debated it. Like because India is a one party notified state, so legally, you're not in any trouble. But, like, a German colleague or, you know, even Pascal or you or me, like, yeah, where is the line of I'm doing this to make myself more effective versus I'm being sneaky? Does that make sense? 00:19:40 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. And I I mean, I've I don't feel bad at all in, like, I don't know, day to day meetings where it's about business and just kind of decisions and recording those. But I I probably it it makes me feel uncomfortable when I think about I don't know. I mean, if you have private conversations too and if you if you share very private things, then having that documented is kind of weird. I mean, with you, I I I I trust you that you don't hold that against me later on or that yeah. I mean, we I'm so open about sharing some of the things, and I don't wanna I mean, we we have a very strict saying in Germany that if you write it down, it stays there forever, and it can always be held against you. And this is how our society works in Germany. So and this is why everything is so much how did he say it? The soundtrack? 00:20:33 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:20:33 - [SCOTT_WARNER] How did how did he phrase it? Christian? 00:20:37 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Voice track. Voice track. 00:20:38 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Oh, voice track. Yes. This is just a huge part of our culture because if you write it down, it's gonna be there forever. And this is then I start to feel uncomfortable about those kinds of technologies just because I don't wanna abuse it. 00:20:55 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. I just realized there's I found an error in my prompt, so I'm glad it's working so well for us. But there it's not perfect yet. But I was just gonna show you something. Well, okay. I was gonna show you, like, that part. So it is and I'll have to find it. Somewhere I've told it, disregard any item of personal nature that would not be found in normal business everyday conversation. Any family matters or I forget what I I worded it in a very clear way. So it's supposed and and mainly, I wrote that because of the Keely situation. Right? I didn't want those things in my records permanently. So 00:21:37 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. Yeah. 00:21:38 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] It's supposed to disregard those things, but I don't know if it does or not. 00:21:43 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Okay. 00:21:44 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I'll have to check. 00:21:46 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But that's good to know. I can I will pay attention to that? 00:21:50 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] So the raw transcript's always gonna have it, but the raw transcript is supposed to be overwritten by the named one as soon as you do it. So I'll double check that because it's something I haven't really thought about much since I did it. So I have two versions. Right? I have the version I use, which runs on my computer, and then this version. So I'm slowly transitioning to this version. But until I know it's the same, I'm I'm hesitant to give up my my old way because it it's so perfect. But this one is so very, very close that I feel like now I could do it and be okay. The only thing that's weird is I don't know if you've noticed. Sometimes it doesn't grab the meeting date. I still don't know why. 00:22:34 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I haven't had that yet. 00:22:35 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. So every now and then you'll see something weird. But, anyway, okeydoke. I talked a lot, but I 00:22:42 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I will. 00:22:43 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Thank you for 00:22:43 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I will. 00:22:44 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I know it's probably annoying for me to ask all these questions, but it helps me a lot. So 00:22:48 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It's not annoying at all. I I really enjoy those things, so don't worry. And I'm very happy that you shared it. And I'm just starting to get used to it, so I'm pretty sure I will have more feedback for you. They don't so there are things and buttons that I personally don't even use, for example. So I don't know on a long term if that could simplify 00:23:10 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:23:10 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Some of the just the interface. But on the other hand, I mean, as long as you're not planning on selling it or making it available to the public, it needs to work for you, and that's the main priority. Right? 00:23:23 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Honestly, I don't plan to socialize it outside of you and I only because it's such a touchy subject that 00:23:29 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. Don't if we wanna 00:23:30 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] share that. So 00:23:32 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But it's really fun. And, like, even if you included the when you included the the logo, I was like, oh, that's great. Even though it's super tiny, I think you need to pick a different one because you can't if you don't know it's her on the logo, I don't think I would have recognized it. So 00:23:50 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. I was when I found the logo, was like, that's pretty good. And when I put it in, I was like, what? I couldn't see it. But, yeah, I was trying to figure out, like, how to make that more visible or something. But 00:24:01 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I don't know. Maybe if you take out the the the golden etch part to enlarge her a little more, or maybe it's just the crazy contrast between the purple and 00:24:15 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:24:15 - [SCOTT_WARNER] And the the golden that makes it so hard to see. But I was like, this is so much fun. Yeah. And then I was like, get get off Teams on a Saturday. Like, I didn't even wanna talk to you about it. I felt super sorry. 00:24:29 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] No. I I mean, I just sit around and watch college basketball, and I have my laptop in my lap just playing around. So now it's funny, though, because, like, sometimes I'll get, like, watching a game and I forget what I was doing. I'm like, well, shit. So you know? But then, like so you'll see. But like I said, I update my local version, the dev dev, and then once I get to a good spot, then I upload it to the real server and stuff like that. Because on mine, I can just delete it as needed, and I don't care. But on Mhmm. My goal is to not delete things because once I have things there, I don't wanna lose them, and, I choose to delete them. You know? So 00:25:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. No. That makes sense. 00:25:07 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. Oh, I I don't know if you saw this. There is now the option to rerun steps. So if you feel like either the audio isn't right or the transcription was wrong or some like, the summary doesn't make sense, you can rerun those steps. So 00:25:19 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But then would it be different? 00:25:22 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] It could be. Like, for example, like, I've had okay. So for example, every now and then, I've had, like, one on my phone and I forget to turn off the recording, And I walk away, and then I talk for the next hour. So I'll upload it, and then I get, like, all this weird shit. So then I'll go and I'll cut the audio down, and then I'll, you know, tell it to rerun on the audio or something like that. So but yeah. So and I did I think you have access to the logs. I I added the logs. So if you ever wanted to know, you could kinda go look and see what's happening and where it's at. So 00:25:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yep. 00:25:58 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Tell you what stage it's on. So, anyway, Okay. That's enough nerd now for you. I just thought I'd share. So 00:26:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] No. I I in general, I really think this, like, this week's interface is a huge improvement to last week just because it's gotten a lot easier, especially on the landing page. Yeah. It's just a lot slower too, so that's just something to take into account. And it's not really a bad thing, but yesterday, I was uploading both of the afternoon sessions, which was two hours. So one hour, one hour, and it I mean, that's a that's a long time. I get that, but it it took almost thirty minutes to complete, I think. So it was and and maybe there was no. I did one. No. That was both in my Internet at home, but it's usually pretty pretty fast. So that would be something to get used to. 00:26:52 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] So I might have you pay so next time you upload something, tell me so, like 00:26:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It gets to 60 really quick, and then it takes forever for the last 40, if that's your question. 00:27:05 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Alright. That's good. So what I can do is I'm gonna tell it to use the fast model on the summary piece. I'm sorry. On the fix, and then I'm gonna tell it to use the thinking module on the summary because that's the one we care about. The summary is what's important. The fixing is more of a quality of life, like, just to clean it up. But that could be Yep. I could use a fast model because right now, I think it's using thinking. So for every line, it's like, thinks about Uhhuh. About it, thinks about it. I don't there's no need for that. So okay. 00:27:34 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I mean, you could give it a try, and if quality lags too bad, then just switch it back. 00:27:40 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Well, and that's the thing is so my version doesn't do the thinking part. So I thought of that when I was doing this, and I was like, oh, how cool would that be? So now I'm already starting to have feature drift between so I've got, you know my because my goal is to use this just because having a website do it is so much better because I I think I've told you, like, I have to run six different steps every time I do it, and it just takes forever steps. And it's like, ugh. So Yeah. This is nice. Drag, drop, let it go. 00:28:08 - [SCOTT_WARNER] So And then you only have to watch the progress bar. So 00:28:11 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. I have two apps I've written lately that are really cool. My other one is a it's an invoice inspector. So it takes I drop a legal invoice on it, and it'll go through and grab, like, all the matter codes because, like Oh. They have to, like, handwrite them. And Amity always wants to know what's going on, and I'm like, I have to, like, save it as a Word document, copy everything out, paste it, and it just takes forever. So I wrote this little app that's pretty sweet the way it works. I'll show you that. Hold on. Just now because I'm why not? Where's my other oh, there it is. Share. I'm sorry. I always say I'm not gonna keep you and I keep you forever. 00:28:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It's fine. 00:29:00 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Where did my browser go? Where? I hate how it minimizes my window. Okay. So, like so it checks the service. So you drag a PDF on, then it parses the file. So let me find a 00:29:16 - [SCOTT_WARNER] hold on. How often do they actually invoice us? 00:29:20 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Monthly. 00:29:21 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Monthly. Okay. 00:29:22 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] But we get a lot of invoices a month. So, like, for example, these are all so those are all this month. So 0102, 34, 56, 7, you know, this month. Hold on. Where the heck do I keep these? Invoice. Legal. Go away. Alright. So I wish I could share my whole screen because you're only seeing part of it. But I'm picking a PDF, and I'm going to drop it. Oops. I'm gonna drop it on on there. Did that work? That's funny. Invoice processed successfully. So it this is the raw response that I get from the file. So it tells me 00:30:08 - [SCOTT_WARNER] It's so quick. 00:30:09 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. It does that very fast. And then so that was o eight two. So this one done. Oh, wait. I already had that one. That's why it was so fast probably. Uhhuh. Still fast, but that seemed excessively fast. Okay. This one should be okay. So good. So dedupe false. I mean, it's still really fast. Right? So document number nine, result was true. It gives me all this information. Which one was that? O84. 00:30:35 - [SCOTT_WARNER] The top one. 00:30:35 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. So if I come in here and I click on it, it gives me all the information about the invoice. It gives me the time entries, which is what I needed. I this is something I just added, and I haven't fixed it yet. But let me just it kinda did one thing weird. Now that's correct. Why did it not give me a oh, fixed. Okay. Sorry. I'm stupid. I was like, why is fixed fee saying unknown? It's because it's not a fixed fee invoice. So duh. So it's a it's a 530 invoice. There were no disbursements on it. So the total time entry, computed total, so it tells me if there's a match. That way, I can go and find out if there's a a wrong invoice somewhere. So just kind of a way way for me to double check legal invoices, but I used to have to go through and write down all this information into a spreadsheet and then all this information. And then for every single line, which some of them have this one, I think. Yeah. Some of these have multiple lines that I had to capture. So now I can just export it all and be done in, like, seven minutes. It's so freaking cool. So 00:31:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] That is pretty cool. 00:31:53 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] This one's supposed to be light, not dark. So the background. 00:31:58 - [SCOTT_WARNER] I kind of like it. It looks very calming for the eye. Almost like a reading on my Kindle. 00:32:08 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. That's kinda where I was going for is I wanted it to be. So I was trying to figure out what to name it. I named it paper trail just because I was trying to figure out, like, something I could I was tracking, but, like, I just I was like, I there's gotta be an easier way to do this. And so this has been this is pretty cool. So 00:32:24 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Can you export it? 00:32:26 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. I haven't written that yet. Because right now, I have the database, so I can go in. 00:32:33 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Because, I mean, if you used to track it in an Excel sheet, it would be super cool if you could just export it in a Excel sheet version and then just copy paste it in there. 00:32:43 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:32:43 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Or just have it added to the existing database or whatever. 00:32:47 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I can't remember. You've done database work. Right? No. Okay. For some reason, thought you had. So if I open the paper trail database, I can go into, like, browse data. And so, like, here's all the documents so I can export all this information. It and 00:33:03 - [SCOTT_WARNER] That's cool. 00:33:03 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] And it's and so these are all the time entries from every file. So in this is called SQL, so you can write queries to tie it all together, and it it can auto do math. And you can actually import it straight into Excel. So I can make one Excel file, have this be the data source, and it will automatically update. So 00:33:21 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yep. That's nice. 00:33:23 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] So this is why I chose this way because an export for each month might be fine, but I wanted a way to, like, get running totals for the year. I wanted, like, budget performance, things like that. So anyway. Okay. Now you know I'm a complete nerd and have no life. So but it's fun. 00:33:41 - [SCOTT_WARNER] If that actually, I was I I it made me smile because I spent, I think, three hours on Saturday doing this for our utilities usage stuff. And the invoices always look the same, but I only needed the value we paid and the usage we had. 00:34:04 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Yeah. 00:34:04 - [SCOTT_WARNER] But they couldn't give me an overall spreadsheet, so I needed to click through all of them and then kind of copy paste it into what we have. So just by looking at that, I was like, oh my gosh. Next year, we're gonna do it through something like that Yeah. Because this just took forever, and the output output looks just like a kindergarten. So 00:34:27 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I mean, something like this could be it's easy, and you don't have to have a website front end. You can have it. I can show you a script, and you would just change a few things. You just Yeah. Which fields to go grab, and you put your in data director, and it'll go through and just eat out the the numbers. Now if the PDFs have a ton of, like, weird things on them, like colors and designs and graphics, weird, but, you know, most people's is pretty good invoice. So 00:34:51 - [SCOTT_WARNER] In in in those cases, they do, but, I mean, it is how it is. Cool. 00:34:56 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Alright, man. Well, I'll quit bugging you now. So have a good evening if I don't talk to you, and I'll let you know what I hear about the last bit of travel piece, and then we'll go from there. Shawn's out this afternoon. His dad, I think, is his dad had surgery a while back, and he's helping him with some stuff. And I said, no problem. He's put in plenty of hours lately. So 00:35:16 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. Okay. I will head home now, but I'm available the entire afternoon. I I put focus time on my calendar. I feel very grown up. 00:35:26 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] I saw that. Because I was like, man. But it 00:35:28 - [SCOTT_WARNER] it just it I I I can't I can't keep doing it this way. Like, I can't keep sitting there every night in order to keep up with my mailbox and every I don't wanna end up like that at least. So I I will try it this way now. Let's see. 00:35:43 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] You don't wanna end up like Scott. I get it. Okay. 00:35:46 - [SCOTT_WARNER] That's not what I'm saying. I I just 00:35:48 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] That's what I'm saying. So 00:35:50 - [SCOTT_WARNER] My body is telling me it's it's been it's it's it's okay. Calm down. So 00:35:58 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] It's been a year. Right? So 00:36:00 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Yeah. So I don't know. Let's see if it works. I'm not a fan of those, but maybe it at least keeps my calendar free for six hours of the week. So let's see. 00:36:07 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Okay. Let me know if can help you. But, yeah, I'll I'll holler if anything, but I think I'll probably head to the hospital shortly, and so I'll probably be there the rest of the afternoon. So 00:36:16 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Okay. Sounds good. 00:36:17 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Alright. Take care of yourself. We'll see you. 00:36:19 - [SCOTT_WARNER] Bye. 00:36:20 - [VERA_RODEHUTSCORD] Bye.
