AI Event Transcription and Summaries for Hackathons & Tech Events

Hackathons and tech events generate an enormous amount of high-value knowledge problem-solving discussions, rapid prototyping moments, mentorship insights, and team decisions made at lightning speed. Yet most of it disappears the moment the timer stops. Rozie Synopsis, an award-winning live-event intelligence platform, captures these moments and turns them into real-time insights and structured summaries that teams can access long after the event ends. What participants see on stage becomes a searchable knowledge hub, ready to support future development, onboarding, documentation, and post-event follow-through.

The Challenge of Capturing & Retaining Insights at Hackathons

Hackathons move fast sometimes impossibly fast. Teams switch contexts, mentors jump between tables, and multiple problem statements compete for attention at once. According to Ebbinghaus’ Forgetting Curve, most new information vanishes within hours, and this is especially true in hackathon.

Rozie Synopsis solves this by capturing every session in real time and turning hours of content into clear takeaways and action items teams can revisit anytime.

What Is AI Event Transcription & Summarisation?

AI-powered event transcription uses advanced speech recognition to turn live technical discussions into accurate text even when jargon, acronyms, or rapid debates are involved. Summarisation goes a step further: it analyses the session, identifies themes, and produces structured insights engineers, organisers, and innovation teams can understand instantly.

Participants

Stay aligned on decisions, technical constraints, architecture choices, and next steps.

Organisers

Publish recaps fast, capture mentor advice, and build a long-term content archive that extends event impact.

Engineering & Product Teams

Convert hackathon discussions into documentation, feature ideas, backlog items, sprint briefs, and internal content long after the event ends.

Frequently asked questions

Can Rozie handle the noise and overlapping conversations common in hackathons?

Yes. Rozie uses multi-source AV feeds and room mics to separate simultaneous discussions, keeping technical insights clear even in high-energy environments.

Can Rozie accurately transcribe technical jargon, code terms, and domain-specific language?

Absolutely. Rozie’s industry-tuned models handle technical jargon, code terms, and engineering acronyms with far higher accuracy than generic transcription tools.

How does Rozie support rapid mentor check-ins happening across multiple teams?

Rozie captures every mentor interaction through the AV feed, surfacing recommendations, blockers, and guidance so no team loses critical on-the-move advice.

Can Rozie support hybrid hackathons with both in-person and virtual participants?

Yes. Rozie merges in-room audio with virtual meeting feeds, ensuring every discussion, demo, and pitch is captured consistently across formats.

Are Rozie’s outputs useful after the hackathon ends?

Definitely. Teams reuse transcripts and summaries for documentation, feature briefs, pitch improvements, onboarding, technical blogs, and development planning.

Love the product and so pleased with the output, now powered by Gemini! Getting near real time summaries of sessions from our events in user friendly interface that integrates with our event app Whova. Look forward to our continued partnership for future events

I have to say that about 20 minutes into the opening presentation, that I realized that the “Speaker Insights” projected on the screen were AI generated. I will go back and refer to some of them. Well done!”
