# Capturepad

*/Startups/Capturepad*

## Startup Overview

Product managers and user researchers spend hours distilling customer interviews into actionable engineering tasks. This system ingests raw call audio and automatically extracts structured feature requests directly from the conversation. It runs entirely in the background, providing a completely passive collection method that requires no manual triggers or live note-taking.

General transcription tools like Otter.ai or conversational intelligence platforms like Gong generate raw text and high-level summaries that still require manual synthesis. Instead, this solution formats its output directly for development workflows, natively mapping every extracted insight to predefined engineering ticket schemas. This eliminates the tedious translation step previously managed in disjointed Notion documents, delivering ready-to-triage issues straight to the backlog.

## Startup Landing Problem

**Cards**:
- Body: You grab a three-sentence summary from a meeting note and try to expand it into a technical Jira ticket. The nuanced technical requirement gets lost in translation, forcing engineers to message you for the context you already heard. · Heading: Copy-pasting from Notion summary bullet points
- Body: You spend hours re-listening to Zoom recordings and bolding text in a transcript, only for those insights to sit siloed in the recording tool. These highlights never actually make it into your product backlog in a usable format. · Heading: Highlighting transcripts in Otter or Gong
- Body: You save messages to your Slack 'Later' list, but without structured fields for acceptance criteria or priority, these requests turn into a digital graveyard. You lack the documentation to justify these items during your next grooming session. · Heading: Flagging unorganized Slack pings from Sales
**Section Heading**: Stop acting as a human bridge between calls and code
