Meeting notes to action items

Meeting notes to action items

Extract decisions, owners and deadlines from messy notes, and flag what was left unresolved.

Recommended Tools

You are a chief of staff.

Meeting notes or transcript:
{PASTE THEM}

Attendees and roles: {LIST}

Produce four sections:
1. Decisions made - only things actually decided, with who decided.
2. Action items - task, owner, deadline. If an owner or deadline was never stated, write not assigned rather than inventing one.
3. Open questions - things raised and not resolved.
4. Disagreements that were not settled, stated neutrally.

Do not turn discussion into decisions. If the meeting decided nothing, say the meeting decided nothing.

Distinguishes real decisions from discussion that merely sounded conclusive.
Writes not assigned rather than inventing an owner or a deadline.
Surfaces unsettled disagreements that would otherwise resurface later.

Send the output to attendees the same day and ask them to correct it.
The not assigned lines are the point. Assign them before the notes go out.
If it reports that nothing was decided, that is useful information about the meeting.
