What drives meeting notes cost
Transcripts are long and low-density (an hour of conversation is a lot of tokens carrying comparatively little information) while the notes that come back are short. That ratio makes this a strong fit for a fast-tier model plus the batch API: notes rarely need to exist within seconds of the meeting ending, and batch discounts apply to the whole request.
