Bunge Bits summarizes long parliamentary sessions from the Kenyan National Assembly and Senate. Built with Rust, Whisper v3, and GPT-4o.

Sessions are typically 3–7 hours long, mixing English and Swahili. This tool transcribes, chunks, and summarizes them to make political content more accessible and searchable for the public.

If you wanted to make the transcription locally hosted to save on OpenAI costs, you can use my crate, mutter [0], which makes self-hosting the Whisper model super easy :)

Can I box this up in a docker container and stuff it behind an API?

Absolutely! There’s existing solutions for this, if you hunt around, but if you wanted to customize it, it would be pretty easy.
