Meeting summary and to-do list
Convert meeting text or notes into an executive summary, decisions, and a to-do list with assignees and deadlines.
Prompt text
The following text contains notes or a transcript of a meeting. Based on it, write:
1. A three-line summary for someone who was not in the meeting
2. Decisions made (only definitive decisions)
3. Action items table with columns: Task, Assignee, Deadline (if no assignee or deadline is specified, write "Unspecified")
4. Unresolved questions and topics that need follow-up
Do not guess anything not mentioned in the text.
Meeting transcript:
"[Meeting transcript]"
Parts to replace
- [Meeting transcript]: Notes or text transcribed from an audio file
Why does this prompt work well?
Separating "definite decision" from "discussion" and writing "unspecified" instead of guessing prevents the most common machine summarization error, which is making up details.
Pro tips
For recorded meetings, first extract the text using speech-to-text tools (like Whisper).
Only enter confidential meeting transcripts into services whose data privacy policy you trust.
