const { GoogleGenAI } = require("@google/genai");
const fs = require('fs');

const ai = new GoogleGenAI({ apiKey: process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY });

async function summarizeMeeting(audioPath) {
  const audioBuffer = fs.readFileSync(audioPath);
  
  const response = await ai.models.generateContent({
    model: 'gemini-2.5-flash',
    contents: [
      {
        inlineData: {
          data: audioBuffer.toString('base64'),
          mimeType: 'audio/mp3'

Common Challenges & Debugging Solutions

Real issues students hit during development and how to troubleshoot them fast.

API Errors

Audio Upload Limit Exceeded

Issue: Files exceeding 20MB fail on direct base64 uploads limits.

Fix Solution:Use the File API in the Gemini SDK to upload large assets asynchronously before generation.
