Problem Statement

In today's remote-first business environment, countless hours of virtual meetings are recorded daily, yet the valuable insights contained within these recordings are frequently lost because no one has time to review them. Manual extraction of key decisions, assigned tasks, and next steps is a tedious and error-prone process that scales poorly across organizations.

Solution

A fully serverless system that automates the complete meeting analysis pipeline:

1. Upload an audio file (MP3/WAV)
2. Receive within seconds:
   • Executive Summary: Key discussion points
   • Action Items: Tasks with assigned owners
   • Key Decisions: Agreements and resolutions

Installation & Deployment

Prerequisites

• AWS Account with admin permissions
• Python 3.12+
• AWS CLI configured
• Git

1. Clone Repository

git clone https://github.com/AndresFMC/ai-meeting-summarizer.git
cd ai-meeting-summarizer

2. Set Up Local Environment

python3 -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate  # Windows: .venv\Scripts\activate
pip install -r requirements.txt

3. Prepare Deployment Package

# Clean previous builds
rm -rf package deployment_package.zip

# Install Lambda-compatible dependencies
mkdir package
pip install --platform manylinux2014_x86_64 \
    --target=package \
    --implementation cp \
    --python-version 3.12 \
    --only-binary=:all: \
    -r requirements.txt

# Package code
cp src/lambda_function.py package/
cd package && zip -r ../deployment_package.zip . && cd ..

4. AWS Configuration (Console Setup)

4.1 Create S3 Bucket

• Name: your-audio-bucket
• Region: eu-central-1 (Frankfurt)
• Keep private

4.2 Create IAM Role

• Name: SummarizerLambdaRole
• Required policies:
  • AWSLambdaBasicExecutionRole
  • AmazonTranscribeFullAccess
  • AmazonBedrockFullAccess
  • Custom S3 policy:

{
    "Version": "2012-10-17",
    "Statement": [{
        "Effect": "Allow",
        "Action": "s3:GetObject",
        "Resource": "arn:aws:s3:::your-audio-bucket/*"
    }]
}

4.3 Create Lambda Function

• Runtime: Python 3.12
• Handler: lambda_function.lambda_handler
• Memory: 512 MB
• Timeout: 90 seconds
• Upload deployment_package.zip

4.4 Configure API Gateway

• Create REST API
• Create /summarize resource
• POST method with Lambda proxy integration
• Enable CORS
• Create usage plan and API Key

API Usage

Endpoint

POST https://your-api-id.execute-api.eu-central-1.amazonaws.com/v1/summarize

Headers

Content-Type: application/json
x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY

Request Body

{
    "bucket_name": "your-audio-bucket",
    "object_name": "audio/meeting.mp3"
}

Response

{
    "summary": "Executive Summary:\n...\n\nAction Items:\n...\n\nKey Decisions:\n...",
    "transcript": "Complete meeting transcription..."
}

Example with cURL

curl -X POST \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "x-api-key: YOUR_API_KEY" \
  -d @test_payload.json \
  https://your-api-url/v1/summarize

Local Testing

To test the pipeline locally:

python src/main.py

Update variables in main.py:

• BUCKET_NAME: Your S3 bucket
• AUDIO_FILE_PATH: Local path to audio file

Configuration & Variables

Lambda Environment Variables

No environment variables required. All configuration is code-based.

Limits & Quotas

• Max audio file size: 100 MB
• Max audio duration: 30 minutes
• API rate limit: 100 requests/day per API Key
• Lambda timeout: 90 seconds

Troubleshooting

Error: "S3 object not found"

• Verify file exists in bucket
• Confirm Lambda role has read permissions

Error: "Internal server error" in API

• Check CloudWatch logs
• Verify CORS configuration in API Gateway
• Confirm API Key is valid

Transcription fails

• Verify audio format (must be MP3 or WAV)
• Confirm language is configured correctly
