The Inspire Podcast — How-To Series
Back from a conference with hours of sessions and a camera roll full of slides? Here is the AI workflow Chris Wollerman used after HR Tech 2026 to turn it all into a summary, a slide deck, explainer videos, and a one-slide infographic his team will actually use.
WHAT YOU WILL SEE
Host Jason Diamond Arnold and Chris Wollerman, CEO and Co-Founder of Inspire Software, walk through it step by step: four keynotes and seven breakouts captured with the Wispr Flow AI note taker, organized in a Claude project, then turned into a deck, video overviews, and infographics in Google NotebookLM.

KEY LEARNINGS
- Prep before you go. AI-picked sessions and booth questions make the follow-up easier.
- Capture the whole session, not just the slides. Chris estimates Wispr Flow caught 95 to 99 percent of what was said, turning each session into usable AI meeting notes.
- Use a laptop for long sessions. On a phone, taking a slide photo paused the transcription.
- Let AI do the filing. Claude gathered the transcripts and renamed every slide photo by session.
- Make two versions: a detailed summary to read, and a briefing under 15 minutes to present.
- Try more than one tool. Claude wrote the detailed summary; NotebookLM made the deck, videos and infographics.
- Review the output. Checking it for accuracy is what made the key points stick.
- Share it and act on it. The value comes when your whole team learns from it and it feeds your strategy.
THE PROMPTS CHRIS USED (adapt for your conference)
- In Claude: “Pull all my transcripts from Wispr Flow into the folder labeled HR Tech 2026, then create a summary for each of the keynotes and breakout sessions I have transcripts for.”
- In Claude: “Use my itinerary to rename the photos in this folder with the session title plus photo 1, photo 2, and so on.”
- In Gemini: “Go to the Wispr Flow connector and give me all my transcripts.”
- In NotebookLM: “Create a slide deck that summarizes each session, starting with the keynotes. Show a few images from each session based on your best judgment, not all of them. Ask me questions to improve the quality.”
- In NotebookLM (Infographic, Bento grid style): “Summarize all four keynotes on one slide.”
QUESTIONS THIS EPISODE ANSWERS
- How do you get more value from a conference after it ends?
Capture each session as a transcript, keep transcripts and slide photos in one place, and have AI turn them into a summary, a briefing, and visuals. - How can you transcribe conference sessions with AI?
Chris started Wispr Flow right before each session. On day two, he moved to his laptop so slide photos would not interrupt it. - How do you organize conference slide photos with AI?
Put them in one folder and ask Claude to rename each file by session and photo number from your itinerary. - Is Claude or NotebookLM better for a conference recap?
Chris used both: Claude for the detailed summary, NotebookLM for the deck, explainer videos, and infographics he presented.
