If audio recordings from the recorder were moved to the cloud, transcribed, and sent to ChatGPT, various types of content could be gathered, such as conversations, calendar items, names, tasks, notes, etc. Specific phrasing like "Recorder, help me remember to..." could potentially help in pulling out relevant content for transcription.
For service contractors like HVAC experts or plumbers, content useful to their professions could include site details, technical instructions, equipment information, safety protocols, customer interactions, and troubleshooting discussions. For retail employees like cashiers or customer service reps, content that could be gathered includes customer interactions, product information, payment transactions, inventory details, customer preferences, and sales techniques. Other industries that could use this technology include law enforcement, journalism, field service technicians, hospitality, sales and marketing, education, legal professionals, and customer support.
How it operates on the person can pretty much be the same. It is in the back office they can select their industry or choose what they want to get out of the audio recordings. One device can be used in many ways. If you are an HVAC technician, then it is listening for addresses, customer questions, etc. If you are an office worker, it can listen for calendar dates and task action items to help you remember.
