In a few clicks, your favorite AI apps can access your entire recording library. Whether it’s ChatGPT, Claude, or Perplexity, these AI assistants can now analyze your meetings, lectures, interviews, and any other content you’ve recorded.
AI assistants cannot process video files or audio recordings directly. ScreenApp’s MCP server gives them access to transcripts, summaries, and insights from ALL your recordings - not just meetings like other tools.
When it’s useful
Sprint planning: Ask ChatGPT “What blockers came up in our last three standup meetings?” and get answers from your recorded sessions.
Customer research: Tell Claude “Analyze user feedback patterns from my customer interview recordings” for comprehensive insights across multiple conversations.
Sales follow-ups: Ask “Draft a proposal based on yesterday’s client call” and get content based on actual conversation transcripts.
Academic work: Request “Create study notes from my Advanced Biology lecture recordings” to turn hours of recorded content into organized materials.
Content creation: Say “Write a blog post about the product features discussed in our demo recording” to repurpose video content instantly.
Training and onboarding: Ask “What were the key points covered in our new employee training session?” to extract information from recorded training videos.
Unlike Granola (which only works with calendar meetings), ScreenApp works with ANY recording type. Screen captures, phone interviews, lecture recordings, brainstorming sessions - your AI assistant can analyze it all.
What is ScreenApp MCP?
Think of MCP as “USB-C for AI apps.” Just like USB-C lets you connect different devices, MCP lets AI assistants connect to your ScreenApp recordings.
What you get:
- Ask ChatGPT about your recorded content without uploading files
- Get answers from transcripts of ANY recording type (not just meetings)
- Find information across multiple videos instantly

- Granola: Meeting notes only
- ScreenApp: Video analysis + transcripts + metadata

What You Can Ask Your AI Assistant
Cross-recording analysis: “What themes came up across all my customer calls this month?”
Specific information retrieval: “Find where we discussed the budget increase and summarize the decision.”
Content generation: “Write a training guide based on the onboarding session I recorded last week.”
Pattern identification: “What objections do customers mention most often in my sales recordings?”
Meeting follow-ups: “Create action items from today’s project planning session.”

Also check that ScreenApp is enabled in your AI assistant’s tools menu.
