When you open AI Chat on a folder, you can turn on Run on Each File. Speak then runs your prompt against every file in that folder separately and gives you one result per file instead of a single combined answer.
When to run a prompt on each file
Reach for it when you want the same analysis applied to many recordings:
- Research: “Extract the top 3 themes from each interview”
- Sales: “What objections were raised in each call?”
- Meetings: “Generate action items from each meeting this week”
- Customer feedback: “Summarize the customer’s main concern in each recording”
- Field extraction: “What is the participant’s age and role?”
Turn it on
- Open a folder in Speak.
- Open AI Chat.
- Toggle on Run on Each File.
- Optionally pick a specific field to analyze.
- Type your prompt and send it.
Speak processes each file in the background and results appear as they finish, so a folder of 50 files takes longer than one with 5. Each file draws on your credits separately. Results are saved, so you can come back and read them later.
To run the same analysis on every new upload without asking, build it into an automation.
How it differs from a normal folder prompt
A normal folder prompt aggregates. Ask “What are the common themes across all these interviews?” and you get one answer covering the whole folder.
Run on Each File does not aggregate. Ask “What are the main themes?” and you get a separate answer for every file, which you can then compare side by side.
