How to send files one at a time and get the same treatment every time
Spend your effort on the first file. Once Vizard Agent has produced it the way you want, with the right format, naming and delivery, every following file can be sent with nothing but "the next one", and the treatment carries across without being restated.
What do you type into Vizard Agent?
Type the full brief once, on the first file. Everything you care about belongs in that first message: the format, whether you want it verbatim, what the output file should be called, and whether you want the text in the reply as well as a download. After that, "the next one" with a file attached is a complete instruction for Vizard Agent.
Transcribe this verbatim, save it as a text file I can download, and paste the transcript in your reply if it is short.
What does Vizard Agent actually do?
It keeps the playbook rather than the phrasing. Restating a brief each round is risky, because small wording changes produce small output changes. Once the first file sets the treatment, each later file goes through the same steps in the same order and is named and delivered the same way. In the session behind this article it:
- Handled twenty-five audio files, numbered by slide, sent one at a time.
- Inspected each attachment and checked its duration before processing.
- Transcribed each file verbatim with word-level timings.
- Saved each result to its own text file named after the source, so the transcripts inherited the slide numbering and the set stayed in order.
- Uploaded each one as a download link and pasted the text in the reply when it was short enough to read, twenty-five times with no variation.
When does this not work well?
When the files are not actually alike. A stack of lecture audio in one language is uniform. One that includes a video, a two-speaker interview and a heavily accented recording is three jobs, and Vizard Agent flags the odd one out rather than forcing it through. The treatment also lives in the conversation, so picking the stack up in a new session means restating the brief.
Common questions
How many files can I send this way? A few dozen comfortably. Beyond that, tell Vizard Agent up front so it can batch them instead.
What if one file needs something different? Say so for that file. Vizard Agent treats it as an exception and goes back to the playbook afterwards.
Can I change the treatment partway? Yes. Say it applies from now on and Vizard Agent updates the playbook rather than just that file.
