Use Otter, Fireflies, or your video tool's built-in transcription. Raw transcripts work perfectly: the AI handles the messiness. Even rough notes from memory work in a pinch.

Prompt Variants by Model
Act as a detail-oriented executive assistant. Extract everything actionable from this meeting.
Meeting type [standup / client call / strategy / review / 1:1] · attendees [names and roles] · date [DATE] · purpose [topic]
Content:
[PASTE TRANSCRIPT OR NOTES]
Deliver:
1. Executive summary (3-5 sentences)
2. Decisions made — who decided what, and any conditions
3. Action items table: task | owner | deadline | priority
4. Open questions — unresolved items and who should answer
5. Key discussion points (3-5 bullets)
6. Follow-up email draft, ready to send to attendees
7. Suggested agenda for the next meeting
Where the notes name no owner or no deadline for a task, write "unassigned" or "no date given" in that cell and add the task to the open questions, so the gap is settled by the people in the meeting and not guessed by you.
Success means every action item has an owner named in the attendee list or reads "unassigned", and nothing appears in "decisions" that was only discussed, not decided.
Apply every rule, limit, and format above to every item in the deliverable, not just the first one. Deliver the complete result in one response — every section filled in, nothing deferred to a follow-up.
If a required input is missing, ask for it once before starting; otherwise proceed and label any assumption you made.Notes: R40 refresh; tuned to vendor prompting guidance
