Slack voice memos routed to Claude, Perplexity or GPT by intent

Source-checked YouTube

Drop a voice memo or note in one Slack channel. Make transcribes it with Whisper, classifies the intent and sends it to the right model: Claude for content, Perplexity for research, GPT for summaries. Results come back as a threaded Slack reply and get logged to Sheets.

AI step
Classify this message into exactly one of: social, email, research, braindump. Return only the label.

4How it went

Built live on stream. Aaron switched from a Make Agent to a plain text categorization step for the classifier. No usage results reported.

Only what the source reports. The source did not report numbers.

5Worth knowing

  • A plain classification step was simpler than a Make AI Agent for routing.
  • Set variables before the router so every branch can read them.
