Turn meeting notes into useful actions

Organise notes into decisions, actions and questions that still need an answer.

Free to read and copy. Prepared exercise; not yet tested against a named AI tool.

Try the fictional example

Alex will draft the customer update by Thursday. Priya suggested a briefing next week; no decision yet. Sam will check the supplier timeline; no deadline agreed. The team agreed to keep the launch date.

Paste the prompt into a tool your workplace permits. Type your replies; voice is optional if your tool offers it. This page does not record audio or send your text to AI.

Your practice prompt

Use only the fictional notes below. Produce Decisions, Actions and Open questions. Include owners and dates only when recorded; otherwise write ‘Not recorded’. Keep suggestions separate from agreed decisions. Alex will draft the customer update by Thursday. Priya suggested a briefing next week; no decision yet. Sam will check the supplier timeline; no deadline agreed. The team agreed to keep the launch date.

What a useful result could look like
