How to use AI tools to quickly summarize and organize lecture content
Make good use of AI to improve work efficiency
The founding father of the United States Benjamin Franklin (opens in a new tab) (Benjamin Franklin) once said: “If every man and woman spent four hours a day doing meaningful work, the productivity of that labor force would be enough to ensure a comfortable and comfortable life with adequate food and clothing.”
Everyone knows that “time is money”, and now with the help of AI tools, we can improve our work efficiency. If you can use the saved time and energy to do “meaningful work”, that would be even better!
Have you ever seen the online lecture I gave for the “ChatGPT Application Community”? At that time, I gave a ChatGPT writing class to corporate people.
Initially, this lecture was broadcast live on Google Meet, and the organizer also streamed it to the YouTube platform, so this [video] can be found on YouTube afterwards (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vaN4whcHs_Q (opens in a new tab)).
Although this lecture was delivered by me, I had not written a verbatim transcript before, so although I had a briefing at hand, there were actually no subtitles or transcripts.
In order to quickly summarize and organize the content of this lecture, I first used MacWhisper (opens in a new tab) to automatically recognize the subtitles of the video. In less than a few minutes, I can get a complete written record.
MacWhisper (opens in a new tab) is based on OpenAI speech recognition technology Whisper (opens in a new tab). Not only can it recognize more than 100 languages such as Chinese and English, it can also be executed locally (without uploading files to the Internet) and directly output txt, csv and subtitle-specific srt and vtt formats. It is the best [automatic speech-to-text tool] I have ever used (https://wumanzoo.com/macwhisper/ (opens in a new tab)).
Organize content with ChatGPT snippets
Next, I saved it as a plain text file in .txt format, and then asked ChatGPT to help me summarize, organize, and write it into an article.
Soon, ChatGPT provided a draft.
Let’s take a look:
ChatGPT writing course for business people: the era of innovative writing
In the nearly 70 years since the advent of AI, its progress has quietly changed the rules of the game not only in the field of technology, but also in the business world. Especially in recent years, AI writing technology has gradually matured, and has shined in business copywriting, product introductions, and press releases.
- Commercial applications and progress of AI
The application of AI is no longer limited to scientific research laboratories. From the AI co-created children’s books on Amazon’s Kindle e-book store in the United States, we can see the infinite possibilities of AI and human writers. AI writing not only changes traditional publishing, but also brings new business models and market opportunities.
- Use of AI writing tools
AI writing tools, such as ChatGPT, are gradually changing the style of writing. Whether writing press releases, product copy, or product introductions, AI tools can provide effective assistance. The advent of these tools makes copywriting faster, more precise, and helps unleash human creativity.
- Future skills and personal development
In the AI era, the importance of soft skills has become increasingly prominent. Reports from McKinsey and BCG both pointed out that future work scenarios will emphasize communication skills, expression skills, and leadership skills. In particular, the ability to tell stories and ask questions is particularly important when using AI writing tools.
- AI applications in daily life
The applications of AI writing are not limited to the business field. From diary writing to inspiration collection, AI tools can become people’s right-hand assistants. With mobile phone recording and automation tools, people can more effectively capture inspiration and turn it into valuable content.
- Conclusion
AI writing is creating a new era of creation. Through the combination of tools and skills, people can not only improve writing efficiency, but also open up new creative space and business opportunities. In this era of rapid change, AI writing is not only a trend, but also a necessity.
Manual retouching is essential
I have mentioned in many lectures that AI tools such as ChatGPT and Notion AI can indeed help us organize and summarize content, but it is not recommended that you use the content directly.
Therefore, I subsequently asked ChatGPT to retouch and enhance it based on my own reading impressions and needs.

Finally, here is the complete version for everyone to see! Friends who are interested can also compare the differences between the two and what polishing and modifications I have made?
