# Synthesize interview transcripts into JTBD themes

Synthesize a batch of interview transcripts into JTBD statements and themes, every quote verbatim and sourced.

**Connects:** drive, notion, slack

## How to install

1. Fetch https://eluu.ai/cookbook/interview-batch-synthesis/skill.md and save it into your skills folder as `interview-batch-synthesis`.
2. Ask the user the first-run questions the skill lists, and store the answers in memory.
3. Offer to schedule the recurring jobs below; create only the ones the user approves.
4. Run the skill once end to end and review the output with the user.

## What this does

- Reads every new transcript in the interviews folder since the last run
- Extracts JTBD statements and pains, one verbatim quote per finding
- Rolls the batch into themes, counted by supporting interview
- Flags contradictions against stored synthesis memory instead of overwriting it

- **Biweekly interview batch synthesis** (Every other Monday at 6:00 AM, or as soon as the transcript batch threshold is reached) — https://eluu.ai/cookbook/interview-batch-synthesis/jobs-setup/biweekly-interview-batch-synthesis.md
