Processing a 90-minute meeting isn t instant.
And staring at a spinner with zero context feels broken.
So this week, I shipped real-time progress tracking.

Now, instead of guessing, you see exactly what s happening:
Audio compression (reduces upload time)
Transcription progress (Whisper AI)
Analysis steps (decisions, action items, risks)
Estimated completion time
No more wondering if it failed.
No more refreshing the page.
Just transparency.
Under the hood, this required:
Redis-backed job queue (BullMQ)
Server-Sent Events for live updates
Multi-instance support for proper scaling
Small UX change.
Huge difference in perceived speed.
If you re processing long meetings or large contracts,
waiting isn t the problem.
Uncertainty is.
