About

Why Ipsissima?

There is amazing content in the world that comes in the form of speeches, interviews, videos, and podcasts, and much of it is only available by streaming it through apps.

Ipsissima finds informative and inspiring audio content and generates transcripts and summaries that you can read, highlight, annotate, cite, use as prompting context, etc.

Content Curation

I am a professional business and technology educator, and I work with performing arts educational non-profit organizations, so my mind is often at the intersection of the arts, sciences, business, economics, and education. I personally curate all content for this blog as a fun side project–there is no automated content retrieval–so you can expect every post to have value.

About AI Use

All new transcripts are generated using a local AI model, which means no data center usage. I’m currently using the WhisperKit Large V3 Turbo model for all transcriptions.

Most summaries are generated using Anthropic’s Claude Haiku 5.5. While I try to use local models as much as possible, longer transcripts require using more advanced models.

I always personally check AI-generated work.
