One media workspace
Mediaweft will prepare PDFs, audio, video and supported online sources, with a focused Process, Library, Review and Assistant interface. It selectively rebuilds working functionality from Pageweft and Sonaweft instead of copying both apps. The legacy hosted services are offline; their manuals preserve dated evidence.
Source, correction and assessment
PDF / recording / supported link
-> inspect source and available tracks
-> review options and maximum quote -> approve -> process
-> keep original output
-> review proposed text corrections
-> assess selected claims against cited evidence
-> export reviewed material -> Noteweld
Corrections address wording or recognition errors. Evidence assessments address claims, scope and uncertainty; they do not silently replace a speaker’s words. Originals remain distinct from accepted edits and AI-derived results.
Online sources
YouTube captions are considered first. If suitable captions are absent, a separately approved transcription can be offered when authorized audio is accessible. A temporary caption lookup failure is not confirmed caption absence; a blocked source may still need an authorized file upload. Instagram import also depends on verified source access. Saving a link is not transcription.
Optional models and credits
Users choose compatible models per task: managed access, their own provider or a qualified local/private runtime. Low-cost wording correction and stronger reasoning for scientific work are suggestions, not restrictions. Every paid run needs a maximum quote, explicit approval and a receipt. No silent model upgrade. A catalog listing does not establish that a model is connected or qualified.
Engineering boundaries
The legacy pipeline candidates include Python/FastAPI, MinerU PDF extraction and faster-whisper transcription. The new account, job, credit, provider and MCP boundaries need implementation and real runtime qualification. Noteweld’s web and desktop clients will use reviewed, scoped handoffs. No private repository, provider key, financial runbook or customer data is published here.
Current status
The approved design has seventeen scoped desktop/mobile Chromium checks. That is prototype evidence. Unified persistence, authenticated processing, live AI, payment fulfillment, native integration and recovery remain release work.
