Consult sessions let rural consultants record farm visits, automatically transcribe the conversation, and generate AI summaries with extracted actions. Everything from a 2-hour visit gets captured and structured.
Starting a session
Go to the Consult Sessions section of your farm
Click New Session
Give the session a name (e.g. "Spring SFI review")
Click Start Recording - your browser will ask for microphone permission
During the session
While recording, you'll see a recording indicator and a live transcript pane showing the conversation as it happens. [[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] uses [[company/deepgram|Deepgram]] for real-time transcription with speaker identification, so it tracks who said what.
Ending and reviewing
Click Stop Recording when the session is complete
[[company/farmwalk|Farmwalk]] processes the full transcript and generates an AI summary
Review the summary: executive overview, key points, follow-ups, and risks
Check the extracted actions - these can be converted into tasks
Tips
Use a quiet environment for best transcription quality
The persistent transcript pane stays visible throughout - you don't need to take separate notes
Actions extracted by AI should be reviewed before converting to tasks
