[bot] Instrument AssemblyAI (459,657 weekly downloads)

<!-- library-gap-audit: assemblyai-node-sdk -->

Summary

AssemblyAI publishes an official Node/TypeScript SDK, assemblyai on npm, providing execution APIs for batch/synchronous and real-time streaming speech-to-text transcription. This repository has zero instrumentation for any AssemblyAI SDK surface — no wrapper, no diagnostics channel, no plugin, no auto-instrumentation config, no e2e scenario.

What's missing

Execution surfaces exposed by the assemblyai npm package that are not instrumented:

SDK Method	Description
client.transcripts.transcribe(params)	Submits a batch transcription job and polls until finished
client.transcripts.submit(params) / client.transcripts.waitUntilReady(id, ...)	Async batch transcription execution
client.sync.transcribe(audio, options)	Synchronous single round-trip transcription
client.streaming.transcriber(options) / transcriber.connect() / transcriber.sendAudio(chunk)	Real-time streaming transcription execution

None of these are covered by existing provider instrumentation — the SDK is a standalone client for AssemblyAI's own transcription API and does not depend on openai or any already-instrumented package.

No coverage in any instrumentation layer:

• No wrapper function (e.g. wrapAssemblyAI()) in js/src/wrappers/
• No channel definitions or plugin in js/src/instrumentation/plugins/
• No auto-instrumentation config in js/src/auto-instrumentations/configs/
• No e2e test scenario under e2e/scenarios/
• Repo-wide grep for assemblyai (case-insensitive) returns zero matches anywhere in the repo

Braintrust docs status

not_found. AssemblyAI does not appear anywhere on the Braintrust integrations index page — https://www.braintrust.dev/docs/integrations — which lists AI-provider and framework integrations but has no entry for AssemblyAI or any speech-to-text provider. The page's only guidance for unlisted providers is the generic AI Proxy gateway (/docs/deploy/ai-proxy) or contacting Braintrust to request an integration.
