🚀 AI Voice-to-Task Management System Documentation 📋 Project Overview We built a complete AI-powered voice task management system that captures spoken conversations, extracts actionable tasks using AI, and sends daily email reminders to users.

🎯 What We Built System Components: 🎤 Voice Recording Interface (Streamlit Web App) 🔄 Task Extraction Pipeline (n8n Workflow 1) 📧 Daily Reminder System (n8n Workflow 2) 📊 Task Database (Google Sheets) 🤖 AI Processing (Hugging Face + Groq AI) Core Features: ✅ Voice-to-text transcription ✅ AI-powered task extraction ✅ User email linking ✅ Automated daily reminders ✅ Beautiful HTML email notifications ✅ Real-time processing 🔧 How We Built It Architecture Flow: Voice Recording → AI Transcription → Task Extraction → Google Sheets → Daily Email Reminders

Technology Stack: Frontend: Streamlit (Python web app) Workflow Engine: n8n (automation platform) AI Services: Hugging Face Whisper + Groq LLaMA Database: Google Sheets Email: Gmail API Hosting: Local development + n8n Cloud

🏗️ Workflow 1: Voice-to-Tasks Pipeline 🎯 Purpose: Convert voice recordings into structured tasks

Flow Diagram: Webhook → Set Email → HTTP Request (HF) → HTTP Request (Groq) → Merge → Code (Parse) → Google Sheets

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Webhook Trigger What: Receives audio file + user email from Streamlit Input: audio (binary WAV file) user_email (form data) URL: https://riyabhurse99.app.n8n.cloud/webhook-test/26cd6f01-275d-421a-a248-5078087cb6b2

2. Set Email Node (Edit Fields) What: Preserves user email throughout the workflow Configuration: Mode: Manual Mapping Field: user_email Value: {{ $json.body?.user_email || $json.user_email || 'not_provided' }} Include Other Input Fields: ✅ ON

3. HTTP Request - Hugging Face What: Transcribes audio to text using Whisper AI Configuration: URL: https://api-inference.huggingface.co/models/openai/whisper-large-v3 Method: POST Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_HF_TOKEN Body Content Type: n8n Binary File Input Binary Field: audio

4. HTTP Request - Groq What: Extracts tasks from transcription using LLaMA AI Configuration: URL: https://api.groq.com/openai/v1/chat/completions Method: POST Headers: Authorization: Bearer YOUR_GROQ_TOKEN Body: JSON with optimized prompts { "model": "llama-3.1-8b-instant", "messages": [ { "role": "system", "content": "You are an expert task extraction AI. Extract ONLY actionable items from speech. Look for phrases like 'I need to', 'Remember to', 'Don't forget'..." }, { "role": "user", "content": "Extract tasks from: {{ $json.text }}\n\nReturn format: [{"task_description":"action","time_date":"YYYY-MM-DD","priority":"High/Medium/Low"}]" } ] }

5. Merge Node What: Combines Groq AI response with user email Configuration: Mode: Combine Combine By: Position Output: Both Inputs Merged Together

6. Code Node (Parse Tasks) What: Parses AI response and formats for Google Sheets Key Functions: JSON parsing with error handling Task quality validation Email linking Timestamp generation // Extract and validate JSON from AI response const rawContent = $json.choices?.[0]?.message?.content || ''; const userEmail = $json.user_email || 'not_provided';

// Parse tasks and filter quality let tasks = JSON.parse(extractJsonArray(rawContent)); tasks = tasks.filter(task => task.task_description && task.task_description.length > 5 && !task.task_description.toLowerCase().includes('no tasks') );

// Format for Google Sheets return tasks.map(t => ({ json: { task_description: t.task_description, time_date: t.time_date || 'Not specified', priority: t.priority || 'Medium', created_date: new Date().toISOString(), status: 'New', user_email: userEmail } }));

7. Google Sheets Node What: Saves tasks to database Configuration: Operation: Append Row Spreadsheet: Your Google Sheets ID
   Columns: task_description, time_date, priority, created_date, status, user_email

📧 Workflow 2: Daily Reminder System 🎯 Purpose: Send daily task reminders to users Flow Diagram: Schedule Trigger (9 AM) → Google Sheets (Read) → Filter Due Tasks → Group by User → Filter Valid Emails → Gmail

Step-by-Step Process:

1. Schedule Trigger What: Runs workflow daily at 9:00 AM Configuration: Trigger Times: Daily at 09:00 Timezone: Local timezone
2. Google Sheets (Read) What: Fetches all tasks from database Configuration: Operation: Read Read All Data: ✅ Yes
3. Code Node (Filter Due Tasks) What: Identifies tasks that need reminders Logic: Due today or overdue Status is 'New' or 'Pending' Has valid task description
4. Code Node (Group by User & Generate HTML) What: Groups tasks by email and creates HTML content Key Features: Email validation HTML email generation Timestamp inclusion Priority-based styling HTML Generation Logic:
5. Filter Node What: Removes invalid emails Conditions: Email is not empty Email contains '@' Email ≠ 'not_provided'
6. Gmail Node What: Sends beautiful HTML reminder emails Configuration: To: {{ $json.user_email }} Subject: 🔔 Daily Task Reminders ({{ $json.current_date }}) - {{ $json.task_count }} items Email Type: HTML Message: Styled HTML template with tasks

🖥️ Frontend: Streamlit Web App 🎯 Purpose: User interface for voice recording and testing Key Components:

1. User Settings (Sidebar)
2. Voice Recorder
3. Processing Logic
4. Debug Tools Webhook connection test Local audio file test Email reminder trigger Response debugging
