A client has 30 meeting recordings without transcripts and wants to generate transcripts for them, then curate into meeting minutes. Gemini 3 Chat does a great job of this natively, so I spun up a bot in Pickaxe that leverages the Gemini 3 API. However, when I try to upload even modestly sized files (~30 minutes) they fail to upload through the chat interface. Is there a workaround for this, or is Pickaxe not the right platform?
My first thoughts is for you to check your token length. When I researched how Gemini convers raw video files into tokens… I don’t recall the exact conversion but if you got meeting recordings it may be a lot more tokens then you think. I imagine you are reaching your token limit of the file upload size or the input token limit under the configuration settings. If that fixes it for you let me know…
Hi @taedog2020! A file of that size can definitely be uploaded to Pickaxe (assuming there is sufficient token allocation), but it would likely take some time for the upload to finish. Can you say more/post a screenshot of what it looks like when they “fail to upload”? When you upload to Gemini 3 Chat, how long does the file generally take to process?
