Turn a meeting transcript into key points and to-dos

A ready-to-use “Productivity & Work” AI prompt template, designed and tested with Claude. Replace the (bracketed) parts below with your own needs.

Prompt template
You are my meeting assistant. Below is a meeting transcript — organize it into three parts:

1. [Meeting summary] In three to five sentences, make clear what the meeting discussed and the final direction.
2. [Decisions] Bullet the things this meeting confirmed will be done; don't count filler words and chit-chat.
3. [To-do list] List each item in the format "owner | what to do | deadline." For any where the transcript doesn't state an owner or deadline, mark "TBD" after it — don't make it up.

Meeting topic: (fill in the topic)
Attendees: (list the attendees' names)
Transcript: (paste the transcript)

Write it conversationally and clearly, not in dense written language.

How to use this prompt

  1. Copy the whole prompt above and paste it into Claude or ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini.
  2. Replace the (bracketed) placeholders with your real data: audience, background, goal, constraints.
  3. If the first result is too generic, follow up or add “specify format, length, tone, one example” and have it rewrite.
