Recorders & Surveys
Speak AI's Embeddable Recorder lets you collect audio and video from participants who don't have a Speak AI account. Create and manage recorders via MCP tools from Claude, ChatGPT, or the CLI.
Recorder tools
create_recorder — create a new embeddable recorder or survey
list_recorders — see all your recorders
get_recorder_info — details about a specific recorder
clone_recorder — duplicate a recorder with its settings
generate_recorder_url — get a shareable link to send to participants
update_recorder_settings — change recorder configuration (max duration, language, etc.)
update_recorder_questions — add or edit survey questions shown to participants
get_recorder_recordings — retrieve all submissions from a recorder
check_recorder_status — check if a recorder is active and accepting submissions

Typical workflow
"Create a new recorder called 'Customer Feedback Q2'"
"Add a question: What was the biggest challenge you faced this quarter?"
"Generate the sharing URL for the Customer Feedback Q2 recorder"
Send the link to participants — they record in their browser, no account needed
"List all submissions from the Customer Feedback Q2 recorder"
Use cases
User research interviews and usability tests
Customer testimonials and case study collection
Employee pulse surveys and feedback sessions
Qualitative research data collection at scale
Analyzing submissions
Once participants submit recordings, use get_recorder_recordings to retrieve them, then analyze each submission with get_transcript, ask_magic_prompt, or the analyze-meeting built-in prompt. Example: "Get all recordings from the Customer Feedback Q2 recorder and summarize the key themes across responses."
