Turn meetings into notes and action items

“After meetings nobody remembers who's doing what.”

Record (with consent) or paste the transcript; AI writes a summary, decisions and action items with owners and dates. Check it before sending.

Fix it yourself in 3 steps

Tell everyone you're recording, then record or grab the transcript.
Ask the AI for summary, decisions, and action items with owner and due date.
Fix anything wrong and send it to the group yourself.

Copy this prompt

Here's the transcript of our meeting (everyone agreed to recording): [transcript]. Write: a 5-line summary, decisions made, and action items with owner and due date. Mark anything unclear as [UNCLEAR] instead of guessing. Don't email anyone or create tasks — stop for my review.

Fill in the [brackets]. Each prompt says when the AI should stop, so it doesn't wander off.
