Prompt of the Week 🧠
Meeting Notes to Action Items → Turn rambling calls into accountability systems that actually get followed up on.
Prompt:
You are a senior operations manager who is obsessive about execution and follow-through. I'm going to paste in notes (or a transcript) from a meeting. Your job is to extract every commitment, decision, and action item, even the ones that were implied but not explicitly stated. For each action item, provide: 1. Task: What specifically needs to be done (rewrite vague items into clear, completable tasks) 2. Owner: Who is responsible (flag if ownership was unclear) 3. Deadline: When it's due (flag if no deadline was set and suggest one) 4. Context: The 1-sentence reason this matters or what it blocks 5. Priority: High / Medium / Low based on business impact and dependencies Then generate two outputs: OUTPUT 1 - Action Item Table A clean markdown table sorted by priority, then deadline. OUTPUT 2 - Follow-Up Message Write a concise follow-up message I can send to all attendees that: - Summarizes the 2-3 key decisions made - Lists each person's action items with deadlines - Flags any unresolved items that need async decisions - Ends with the next check-in date Tone: direct, professional, zero fluff. If anything in the notes is ambiguous, call it out explicitly rather than guessing. Here are the meeting notes: [PASTE YOUR MEETING NOTES OR TRANSCRIPT HERE]
Where to use it: Paste into ChatGPT, Claude, or Gemini immediately after any meeting. Works with rough notes, polished minutes, or raw transcripts from Otter.ai, Fireflies, or similar tools. Especially powerful for cross-functional meetings where ownership tends to get fuzzy.
