01 / The starting point

A useful direction.

A transcript provided by your team

“Summarize this meeting and identify the follow-up tasks it explicitly supports. Leave owners and deadlines unspecified unless the transcript states them. Prepare everything for my review before tasks are created or a recap is shared.”
An example request · Make it specific to your team.

02 / The work

6 tasks.
One useful outcome.

Helps turn meeting notes into practical follow-through: a short recap, proposed action items, and a team update.

  1. Provide the meeting transcript

    Share the transcript and enough context to identify the meeting.

  2. Review the meeting recap

    Check that the summary reflects what was discussed and correct any inaccuracies.

  3. Verify proposed action items

    Confirm each task is supported by the transcript. Keep owners and deadlines unspecified when they were not explicitly stated.

  4. Approve tasks before they are created

    Edit or remove suggestions, then approve the final task list before anything is added to your task list.

  5. Approve the team recap before sharing

    Review the message and confirm it is accurate and appropriate to share.

  6. Confirm the follow-through

    Check that the approved tasks and recap reflect the decisions and commitments in the transcript.

03 / The result

Something useful.
Something to build on.
