Summary

Symbl.ai is launching a new product under its "Labs" experimental wing, offering an API for Comprehensive Action Items. This allows developers to capture the most important action items from a conversation, going beyond mere transcription, and providing a deeper understanding of the conversation itself. The API provides contextual insights such as questions, follow-ups, or action items without requiring specialized expertise in data science, natural language processing, or Python. Comprehensive Action Items differ from traditional Action Items by analyzing contextuality, including speaker names, context, and overall descriptions of the action items. These provide access to an understanding of actionable speech throughout conversations, with timestamps, enabling time series analysis over multiple conversations. The API is fully enabled and available for public use, with Symbl.ai recommending using Postman or a similar tool for making API calls.
