# Transform voice memos and messages with AI

Talking is roughly four times faster than typing. AI actions turn a discussion or a
voice memo into first-draft content: an email, a to-do list, a blog post, a sales
summary, a bug report, a product plan.

The shape of it is always the same:

1. **Capture with voice** — speak naturally and get your thoughts out.
2. **Structure with AI** — turn those thoughts into a first draft.
3. **Share with anyone** — send the structured content wherever it needs to go.

## Transforming a single voice memo

1. **Record your voice memo** as usual.
2. Go to the **Voice Memos** tab and find the memo you want to transform.
3. **Tap the memo** to open its message details.
4. **Select an AI action** from the drop-down at the top of the screen.
5. **Copy or share the output** once it's generated.

## Transforming several messages at once

To turn a discussion or a set of voice memos into a presentation outline, a meeting
summary with action items, or anything else:

1. Press and hold any voice memo or message in a conversation.
2. Tap **Select** to choose multiple messages.
3. Choose your AI Magic prompt.

## The ones people use most

There are more than 40 built-in actions. These are the ones that get used the most, and
what each actually does:

| Action | Good for | What it does |
|---|---|---|
| **Bulleted Summary** | A long message that arrived while you were busy | Pulls out the points and drops the filler |
| **Catch-up** | Seeing what you missed in an active conversation | Summarizes across several messages, with takeaways and action items |
| **Improve Structure** | A rambling brainstorm | Regroups related ideas so it flows |
| **Clean-up Transcript** | Something you'll paste elsewhere | Fixes grammar and removes filler, keeping your phrasing |
| **To-do List** | Follow-ups captured on the move | Finds the actionable parts and orders them |
| **Presentation Outline** | Talking through a deck | Slide titles, key points, and suggested visuals |
| **Professional Email** | A rough sense of what to say | A clear, sendable draft |
| **LinkedIn Post** | An insight that arrived away from your desk | A structured post with hashtag suggestions |
| **Brainstorm More Ideas** | Being stuck | Reads the discussion and suggests directions to build on |

That last one is worth singling out: it generates new ideas rather than reformatting the
ones you had.

If none of them fits, [write your own prompt](https://help.carbonvoice.app/ai/custom-prompts).

## Finding past results

To see previous AI Magic results across a conversation, open **AI Chat** from the
**summarize icon** at the top right. Every AI result you've generated anywhere in the app is
also collected in **Notebook → AI Outputs**.
