Turn a long meeting into decisions, tasks and owners

Paste the transcript or your notes from a long meeting and get a summary with decisions made, tasks with an owner and date, and what's still unresolved.

This prompt turns a long meeting into something you'll actually use: clear decisions, tasks with an owner and date, and what's still unresolved. Paste the transcript or your notes and fill in the bracketed context.

Full prompt
Act as an assistant expert at summarizing work meetings for teams who don't have time to reread
a full transcript. I'm going to give you the transcript or notes from a meeting. Your job is to
turn it into an actionable summary, not a narrative recap of everything that was said.

Meeting transcript or notes:
[PASTE THE TRANSCRIPT OR YOUR NOTES HERE]

Context:
- Meeting topic or purpose: [MEETING TOPIC]
- People who attended: [PARTICIPANT NAMES]

With that information, deliver the summary in this exact format:

1. **Decisions made** — a short list, only what was actually decided (not open-ended discussion).
2. **Action items (with owner and date)** — each task with: what needs to be done, who's
   responsible, and by when. If no date was given, write [no date, confirm].
3. **Unresolved** — topics that came up but were left open or postponed, so nothing gets lost.
4. **3-line summary** — what the meeting was about, for someone who couldn't attend.

Rules:
- Don't invent decisions, names, dates, or tasks that aren't in the text. If it's unclear who
  said something or who owns it, mark it as [verify this].
- Don't repeat the full conversation, only what's actionable.
- Clear, direct tone, like meeting notes people actually use.
