Meeting notes summarizer prompt builder
Raw meeting transcripts are nearly useless — they are long, full of crosstalk, and bury the three things people actually need: what was decided, who is doing what by when, and what is still open. This builder writes a prompt that turns that mess into a structured summary, with action items captured in an owner-and-deadline format so they are trackable instead of forgotten.
How it works
You choose the meeting type and tick the sections you want — decisions, action items, open questions, key discussion points, and an optional one-line TL;DR. The generated prompt instructs the model to read the transcript, discard filler and false starts, and slot the substance into your chosen sections. The action-item format setting controls whether each item records an owner and a due date, and the prompt tells the model to flag anything ambiguous rather than inventing an assignment.
Tips and notes
- Paste the participant list. Giving the model the attendee names helps it attribute action items to real owners instead of “someone.”
- Keep the TL;DR on. A one-line summary at the top is what people actually read; the structured detail below is for whoever needs to act.
- Review owner attributions. Auto-transcripts mangle names — always sanity check who got assigned what before circulating the summary.
- Use it for standups too. Pick the standup type and the model produces a tight per-person update with blockers surfaced separately.
