Turn meeting notes into tasks

Get decisions, owners and due dates out of a transcript.

ProjectBeginner

What you'll build

A saved prompt, and optionally an automation, that turns a meeting transcript into a list you can check and paste into your tracker. Get people's agreement before recording meetings.

The steps

  1. 1
    Save three transcripts

    Use meetings you attended, so you know what really got decided.

  2. 2
    Write the prompt

    Ask for decisions, then tasks with owner and due date. If either is missing, write "not stated".

  3. 3
    Compare with your memory

    Note missed tasks, invented owners and things discussed but not decided.

  4. 4
    Fix the format

    Match your tracker's fields, so the output pastes in cleanly.

  5. 5
    Share it after the meeting

    Send it to attendees to correct. They'll catch what you can't.

  6. 6
    Automate if it's still worthwhile

    Connect the transcript source to the prompt, and create tasks as drafts.

Practice material

Practice transcript (invented):

Lina: We need the pricing page live before the campaign.
Omar: I can draft it by Thursday.
Lina: Great. Someone should check it with legal.
Omar: Maybe. Also, should we drop the old plan?
Lina: Let's decide that next week.

Expected:
Decisions: none final.
Tasks: Omar drafts the pricing page, due Thursday.
Legal check, owner not stated, due date not stated.
Open question: drop the old plan? Decide next week.

You're done when

  • The practice transcript gives the expected result
  • It writes "not stated" instead of guessing owners
  • Attendees correct less over time
