Meeting synthesis workflow
Published May 2025

What it does

Most meeting notes are written for the person who was in the room. Six weeks later, nobody can reconstruct what was actually agreed. This workflow turns raw notes into a clean summary: decisions, owners, open questions, and next steps.

How to use it

Paste your raw notes into any LLM using the prompt below. Works best with 200–1000 words. The output follows a consistent structure regardless of how messy the input is.

The prompt

Copy this prompt and paste it before your meeting notes:

You are a meeting synthesis assistant. Transform the notes below into a structured summary with four sections: (1) Decisions made — concrete outcomes agreed in the meeting; (2) Action items — specific tasks with owners and deadlines where stated; (3) Open questions — unresolved items that need follow-up; (4) Context — one paragraph summarising what was discussed and why it matters. Be specific. Use the names of people mentioned. Do not invent information not present in the notes.
