Generate sprint review summaries from transcripts with OpenAI and Google Sheets

What this workflow does

This template automates the entire process of documenting Sprint Reviews in Scrum: 1. Input Collection – Through a friendly form, users upload the transcript file (meeting notes, sprint review transcript, or VTT captions) and specify the sprint name and domain. 2. Transcript Parsing – A Code node formats the transcript into clean [HH:MM:SS] Speaker: text lines, supporting VTT, Zoom, or custom timestamp formats used in Scrum events. 3. AI-Driven Summary – The AI Agent (LangChain + OpenAI) produces a well-structured AI summarization in Markdown, including: - A 3–5 bullet Executive Summary of sprint review highlights - A Presentation Recap table (Timestamp | Presenter | Topics) - A list of Action Items with owners (if recognizable from the transcript) 4. Preview – The summary renders as a styled card with custom CSS for easy readability in n8n. 5. Archive – Automatically appends a record to Google Sheets, saving the date, domain, sprint, transcript file name, and the AI-generated sprint review summary.

Why it’s useful - Zero manual summarizing – AI extracts key insights from transcript files into Markdown you can instantly share with your Scrum team and stakeholders. - Easy setup – drag-and-drop import, plus form-based input for non-technical users during sprint reviews. - Centralized tracking – all past sprint summaries live in one spreadsheet for retrospectives, audits, and continuous improvement. - Flexible and extendable – you can switch to Airtable, Slack, or Notion, or refine the summary template to match your Scrum workflow.

Ideal for - Scrum Masters wanting quick sprint review summaries for stakeholders - Agile Coaches analyzing sprint review transcripts, presentation patterns, and follow-up tasks - Product Owners keeping a searchable log of sprint outcomes and action items
