Castmagic

Castmagic turns voice notes into action-ready summaries for construction teams. Transcribe meetings, extract deadlines, and share updates in minutes.

Construction professionals don’t have time to take perfect notes.

Between site walks, crew coordination, subcontractor calls, and daily huddles, you might talk through:

  • Schedule shifts
  • Material delays
  • Safety reminders
  • Scope clarifications
  • Punch item updates
  • Crew assignments
  • Design feedback

…but then what?

You either:

  • Forget what was said
  • Type summaries late at night
  • Miscommunicate next steps
  • Waste time following up manually
  • Lose momentum on project progress

Castmagic fixes that.

It’s an AI tool that automatically transcribes your recorded meetings, pulls out action items, and sends summaries to your team—within minutes.

Let’s explore what it does, why it’s a perfect fit for construction workflows, and how it saves hours on admin every week.


WHAT IS CASTMAGIC?

Castmagic is an AI-powered meeting assistant that listens to your recordings—whether from phone calls, site meetings, or project briefings—and turns them into structured:

  • Transcripts
  • Bullet-point summaries
  • Action items with due dates
  • Follow-up task lists
  • Searchable communication archives

You upload a voice file (or record directly in the platform), and it:

  1. Transcribes everything accurately
  2. Highlights key moments
  3. Detects next steps, deadlines, and owners
  4. Formats the content so it’s ready to send

Think of it as your construction meeting secretary—without needing a laptop or extra staff.


WHY IT’S USEFUL FOR CONSTRUCTION PROFESSIONALS

Castmagic shines in industries where people move fast, talk more than they type, and can’t afford to lose time.

Here’s why it’s especially useful on construction projects:

🕒 AUTO-GENERATE MEETING SUMMARIES

Forget trying to scribble notes while leading a meeting. With Castmagic:

  • Record the meeting on your phone
  • Upload it (or record directly)
  • Get a written summary in under 5 minutes

This means:

  • No more chasing someone to “send notes”
  • Stakeholders stay aligned even if they miss the call
  • You keep a reliable record of what was agreed

Perfect for:

  • Site coordination calls
  • Daily huddles
  • Weekly OAC meetings
  • Client check-ins

📌 HIGHLIGHT KEY ACTION ITEMS

Castmagic doesn’t just transcribe—it identifies:

  • Tasks
  • Assignments
  • Deadlines
  • Follow-ups

…and formats them clearly.

Instead of guessing what the next step was, your team can see:

  • “Send revised site plan by Friday – Assigned to James”
  • “Confirm glazing delivery ETA – Assigned to supplier team”
  • “Escalate structural clash to architect – Due Tuesday”

Now nothing falls through the cracks.

STORY: HOW A PROJECT DIRECTOR STREAMLINED MULTISITE COMMUNICATION

Marcus manages five construction sites in parallel.

His day is packed with calls—most of them verbal instructions, crew updates, or subcontractor feedback.

Before Castmagic:

  • He wrote his notes manually
  • Summaries were sent late or inconsistently
  • Field staff missed follow-up tasks
  • Calls needed to be repeated

After Castmagic:

  • He records every call
  • Summaries are auto-generated and sent to leads
  • Deadlines are tracked
  • Weekly logs are easier to complete

He now saves 6–8 hours a week and has a searchable archive of every voice-based discussion.

🚫 Reduced client confidence

Castmagic turns talk into trackable progress.

📈 Verbal updates become written instructions

📌 Tasks are logged and assigned
