Damn, so cool ! As it was the project idea I presented for my technical assessment for the Product Advocate position, feel free to DM me if you want any feedbacks or idea 👍

I have now assigned this to you. You can proceed.

Meanwhile, we could make this a blog series, perhaps 1-3. What do you think?

An example of a completed tutorial blog series is this: https://strapi.io/blog/build-a-transcription-app-with-strapi-chatgpt-and-whisper-part-3

Please let me know what you think. Thank you. I can't wait to see more of your contributions. 💪

I wonder if the third part isn't a bit too heavy... Do you think I should remove some elements 🤔 @Theodore-Kelechukwu-Onyejiaku ?
