Meeting Notes to Action Items

Category: Business Prompts · Works with: ChatGPT / Claude / Gemini · Last reviewed 2026-10-12

Convert messy meeting notes into decisions, action items with owners, and open questions.

The prompt

Below are rough notes from a meeting. Turn them into: 1. Decisions made (bullet list, one line each) 2. Action items in a table with columns: Task | Owner | Deadline 3. Open questions that still need an answer 4. A 3-sentence summary I can send to people who missed the meeting If an owner or deadline is not stated in the notes, write "NOT ASSIGNED" instead of guessing. NOTES: [PASTE NOTES]
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] before sending.

How to use it

  1. Paste raw notes. They do not need to be clean.
  2. Check every 'NOT ASSIGNED' row and fill it in before sharing the summary.
  3. Send the summary the same day while people still remember the meeting.

Tips

  • The 'NOT ASSIGNED' rule is the important part. Without it, models often invent owners.

What to expect

Twenty lines of scattered notes become a six-row action table, two open questions, and a short recap message.

AI answers can contain mistakes. Check facts, numbers and any code before relying on them, and do not paste private or confidential information into AI tools.
