ChatGPT cannot analyze your video files or audio recordings because it only accepts text input. ScreenApp’s MCP integration gives ChatGPT access to your entire video library - transcripts, summaries, and metadata from any recording you’ve made.
When it’s useful
Meeting follow-ups: Ask ChatGPT “What were the action items from Monday’s team meeting?” and get instant answers from your recorded sessions.
Content creation: Turn lecture recordings into blog posts. “Write a Twitter thread based on my ‘Product Strategy’ presentation” pulls from the actual transcript.
Research and interviews: Find specific quotes across multiple interviews. “Show me all mentions of customer feedback from my user research calls.”
Learning and education: Get summaries from recorded lectures or training videos. “Create study notes from my Biology 101 recordings.”
Sales and client calls: Generate follow-up emails based on actual conversations. “Draft a proposal based on yesterday’s client call with Acme Corp.”
Personal projects: Analyze podcast episodes or creative sessions. “What themes came up in my last three brainstorming recordings?”
Unlike Granola’s meeting-only focus, ScreenApp works with ANY type of recording. Video lectures, screen recordings, phone interviews, podcast episodes - ChatGPT gets context from it all, not just calendar meetings.
Why Connect ScreenApp with ChatGPT?
Instead of copying and pasting transcripts, simply ask ChatGPT to “Review my last meeting and list the action items,” and it will fetch the context directly from ScreenApp. Works with any recording - meetings, lectures, interviews, training videos.

Key differences:
vs Granola MCP: ScreenApp works with ALL your recordings (lectures, interviews, screen recordings), not just calendar meetings. Plus video analysis capabilities that Granola’s meeting-only approach can’t match.
vs Otter.ai: Otter focuses on live meeting transcription. ScreenApp lets you record anything, then connect your entire library to ChatGPT for analysis.
vs Notion AI: Notion’s AI only works with text you’ve typed. ScreenApp gives ChatGPT access to hours of your recorded content and conversations.
