Your meetings produce decisions and tasks. Your notes produce confusion. Here is a 90-second fix that works with any meeting, any tool, any team size.
You finish a one-hour meeting. Three people think different things were decided. Two people forgot they were assigned something. Someone takes 45 minutes to write up notes that nobody reads past the first paragraph.
The meeting was productive. The follow-through is where it falls apart.
A ready-to-send email to all participants with clear decisions, assigned tasks, and open questions. In 90 seconds. Not in an hour. Not the next day. Immediately after the meeting ends.
Those tools give you a summary. A summary tells you what was said. You already know what was said. You were there.
What you actually need is a list of decisions and next steps. The difference between "we know what was said" and "we know what to do" is the difference between a useless document and action.
The prompt above forces the AI to extract structure, not summarize. That is the entire trick.
Once you have used this for a few meetings, try adding context to the prompt. For example:
"We are a 200-person SaaS company. Our priorities this quarter are reducing churn and launching the enterprise tier. With that context, flag any action items that are high priority."
The AI will not just extract tasks. It will prioritize them based on your business context. A generic tool cannot do this. A well-prompted AI can.
