Your New Client Call Workflow
Record your client call
Record the call on your phone or computer. Most video conferencing tools (Zoom, Google Meet, Teams) have a built-in record button. No bot needed — just hit record yourself.
Upload the recording to FifthDraft
Upload the MP4, MP3, M4A, or WAV file to Meeting Notes. FifthDraft processes the audio in about 30 seconds per minute of recording.
Get transcript + deliverables automatically
FifthDraft generates a full transcript, extracts action items (deliverables, deadlines, client requests), and creates a structured summary.
Generate a project brief with Idea Studio
Forward your transcribed notes to Idea Studio. It converts the client requirements into a structured project brief — ready to send to the client for sign-off.
Works for Every Type of Freelancer
Web Designers & Developers
Transcribe discovery calls to capture exact requirements: features, integrations, design preferences, and go-live dates. Brief goes to client for approval before you write a single line of code.
Copywriters & Content Creators
Upload brand briefing calls. Extract tone of voice requirements, target audience details, content goals, and revision parameters — all structured for reference during writing.
Marketing Consultants
Record strategy sessions and automatically extract campaign goals, KPIs, budget constraints, and timelines. Share a structured summary with clients to confirm alignment.
Video Producers & Editors
Transcribe client creative briefs and script feedback sessions. Extract every revision request to a numbered list — no more missed changes in long feedback calls.
Business Consultants
Document stakeholder interviews and workshop recordings. Extract decisions, open questions, and action items into structured notes for client reports.
Photographers & Videographers
Record pre-shoot planning calls. Extract shot lists, locations, timing, and deliverable formats automatically — then send a brief for client confirmation.
Your Clients Don't See a Bot
Tools like Otter.ai and Fireflies.ai join your call as a visible bot participant — which can make clients uncomfortable and signal a lack of trust. FifthDraft works differently: you record the call yourself and upload it privately. No bot ever joins. Your client records are processed and deleted within 48 hours.
Frequently Asked Questions
How can freelancers use AI for client call notes?
Freelancers can record client discovery calls on their phone or computer, then upload the audio file to FifthDraft. The AI transcribes the call and automatically extracts deliverables, deadlines, action items, and key decisions — formatted into structured meeting notes. This takes about 2 minutes for a 30-minute call and eliminates manual note-taking entirely.
Will clients see a bot in my call if I use FifthDraft?
No. FifthDraft never sends a bot into your calls. You record the call yourself (with client permission) and upload the audio file after. Clients never see a third-party tool as a participant in the meeting.
Can FifthDraft generate a project brief from a client discovery call?
Yes. Upload your client call recording to Idea Studio. FifthDraft extracts the project requirements, goals, deliverables, and timeline from the conversation and structures them into a project brief. You can then share the brief with the client for approval before starting work — reducing scope creep significantly.
How much does FifthDraft cost for freelancers?
FifthDraft offers 150 free minutes of transcription per month — enough for 2-3 client calls. The Pro plan is $149/year ($12.40/month), which includes 2,000 minutes/month (33+ hours of audio), unlimited Idea Studio sessions, and lifetime transcript storage.
