No this is a terrible idea. Spoken conversations are different to chats. For one the very fact that they're not searchable after the fact makes everyone more relaxed and not worry so much about saying something wrong that could get back to them later.


For another, spoken conversations are ephemeral but also point in time. Archived chats need to then be cross-referenced with time and date to check if those chats are still relevant. If partially relevant, which parts can or must be excised?
