The 4 prompts

1
Prompt 1 of 4

Structure the raw notes

From chaos to a clean summary.

The prompt
Act as an executive assistant. Here are my raw notes from a [Type of meeting] with [Who was involved]: [NOTES].

Turn them into a structured summary: key decisions, topics discussed, and open questions. Keep it factual — do not invent anything not in the notes.
💡

Pro tip: Paste your real notes or transcript into [NOTES]; the cleaner the input, the sharper the summary.

Prompt 2 of 4

Extract action items

Owned, dated, unambiguous tasks.

The prompt
From the [Type of meeting] summary, extract a clear action-item list for [Who was involved]: task, owner (if stated), and due date (if stated). Flag any task with no clear owner or deadline as "needs confirmation".
💡

Pro tip: An action item without an owner and a date is a wish — flag those before the meeting is forgotten.

3
Prompt 3 of 4

Draft the team recap

A message you can send in one click.

The prompt
Write a recap message for [Who was involved] after the [Type of meeting], in a [Recap tone] voice: a 2-line summary, key decisions, the action items with owners, and the next meeting date placeholder. Formatted to paste into Slack or email.
💡

Pro tip: Send the recap within an hour — momentum and accountability drop fast after a meeting ends.

4
Prompt 4 of 4

Prep follow-up questions

Close the loops the meeting left open.

The prompt
List the unresolved items from the [Type of meeting] with [Who was involved] as specific follow-up questions, addressed to the right person where possible, so nothing falls through the cracks before next time.
💡

Pro tip: Turn every "we'll figure it out later" into a written question with a name attached.
