Turn a discovery call into notes
Upload the recording after a call, get the transcript back, and ask for the objections, next steps, and who promised what, ready to paste into the deal.
-
Support
Find every call that mentions a problem
Search across transcribed support calls for a product name or an error a customer described and pull the matching sentences with timestamps.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect AssemblyAI to Claude?
In Elaichi, choose AssemblyAI and paste the API key from your AssemblyAI dashboard, which is the whole sign-in step, since there is no OAuth application to register and no client ID or secret to generate. Then open Claude, go to Customize, then Connectors, then Add, and paste https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp. Claude asks you to sign in to Elaichi as yourself, and AssemblyAI is available in your next conversation.
Does AssemblyAI work with ChatGPT and Cursor as well as Claude?
Yes. Once AssemblyAI is connected in Elaichi, the same endpoint, https://api.elaichi.ai/mcp, works in Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, any other MCP client, and the Elaichi Agent. You connect AssemblyAI once and every client you use picks it up.
What can an AI agent actually do with my AssemblyAI data?
It can upload a recording to AssemblyAI, start a transcript, and fetch it back as full text, sentences, or paragraphs with timestamps. It can search transcripts for particular words, fetch a subtitle file, pull the redacted version of a recording, and answer questions about what was said, such as listing the action items from a call. It can also list and delete transcripts in your AssemblyAI account.
Does connecting AssemblyAI give the AI access to every transcript in my account?
An AssemblyAI API key covers the account it belongs to, so the AI sees the transcripts that account can already see, and nothing beyond that. Elaichi can narrow that further, for example by allowing transcription but not deletion, or by limiting who in the organization can use the AssemblyAI connection at all. Elaichi never widens what the key itself allows.
Can I stop an agent from deleting transcripts in AssemblyAI?
Yes. Restrictions in Elaichi apply per action, so you can allow uploading and transcribing in AssemblyAI while blocking deletion entirely. A blocked action is never advertised to Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, or any other client, so no prompt, however worded, can reach it.
What happens to an AssemblyAI connection when someone leaves?
When you offboard a person in Elaichi, their access to AssemblyAI through every client ends at once. If they had shared the AssemblyAI connection with a team, it keeps working for everyone else on that team. If you want the connection gone, disconnecting AssemblyAI once in Elaichi removes it from Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, and every other client at the same time.
