What this helps you do
Teams that leave meetings with lots of notes and fuzzy ownership.
What you need
- Meeting transcript or notes
- Names/roles needed to interpret ownership
Do it step by step
- 1
Use a transcript or notes you are allowed to share with the AI service in your environment.
- 2
Ask the AI to separate explicit decisions from proposals and general discussion.
- 3
Extract actions with the named owner and stated deadline only when those are actually present.
- 4
List unresolved questions and items that sounded important but had no owner.
- 5
Review the result against the transcript before sending it as meeting output.
Use this in your AI assistant
Starter instructions
Copy the starter below, then paste it into ChatGPT, Copilot, Gemini, Claude, or whichever capable AI assistant you use. If this Workflow calls for photos or files, attach them in that AI assistant too — not on this page.
Turn this meeting transcript into: 1) confirmed decisions, 2) action items with owner and deadline only when explicitly stated, 3) unresolved questions, and 4) important topics with no clear next step. Do not promote suggestions into decisions and do not invent owners or dates. Transcript: [PASTE/UPLOAD].
What a good result looks like
A short record where nobody has to guess whether something was decided or merely discussed.
Tips and watch-outs
- For sensitive work meetings, follow your organization's approved AI/data-handling rules before uploading a transcript.
- If speakers are mislabeled, fix that before relying on owner attribution.
OptionalGo deeper when you want to
- After review, ask for a short follow-up email using only the confirmed decisions and actions.
