Turn messy meeting notes into clear action items

Convert rough notes or a transcript into decisions, owners and deadlines you can send to the team.

Why it works

Meetings fail when nobody writes down who does what. AI can structure raw notes in seconds.

Step by step

  1. Paste your notes or transcript.

    From these meeting notes, list: 1) Decisions made, 2) Action items with owner and due date (write 'unassigned' if unclear), 3) Open questions. Notes:
    [PASTE]

    Fill in the [brackets] with your details before you send.

  2. Create the follow-up message.

    Write a short follow-up email summarizing the decisions and action items as a bullet list. Keep it under 150 words.
  3. Check for gaps.

    What important questions did this meeting leave unanswered, and who should probably answer them?

Replace anything in [BRACKETS] with your details. Works with most AI chat assistants. The ChatGPT and Claude buttons open a new chat with the prompt already typed in, and you press send. Gemini doesn't accept pre-filled links, so its button copies the prompt for you to paste. For steps 2 and later, paste into the same chat you started so the AI keeps the context.

Tips and cautions

  • Confirm owners with people before publishing; AI guesses when notes are vague.

FAQ

Can AI record my meeting?
