The disclosure herein describes providing responses to natural language queries associated with transcripts at least by searching multiple indexes. A transcript associated with a communication among a plurality of speakers is obtained, wherein sets of artifact sections are identified in the transcript. A set of section indexes is generated from the transcript based on artifact type definitions. A natural language query associated with the transcript is analyzed using a natural language model and query metadata of the analyzed natural language query is obtained. At least one section index of the set of section indexes is selected based on the obtained query metadata and that selected at least one section index is searched. A response to the natural language query is provided including result data from the searched at least one search index, wherein the result data includes a reference to an artifact section referenced by the searched section index(es).
