Meeting-to-Action Transformer

Transform meeting recordings, transcripts, or notes into structured action items with owners, deadlines, decisions made, questions raised, and a follow-up email draft. Eliminates the "what did we decide?" problem.

Beginner PASTE & GO Time-saving
Pro tip

Use Otter, Fireflies, or your video tool's built-in transcription. Raw transcripts work perfectly — the AI handles the messiness. Even rough notes from memory work in a pinch.

Extract and organize:

1. **Executive summary** — 3-5 sentences capturing what happened and what was decided.

2. **Decisions made** — each decision stated clearly with who made it and any conditions.

3. **Action items** — table format: task | owner | deadline | priority (high/medium/low). If no deadline was stated, suggest one.

4. **Open questions** — things raised but not resolved, with who should answer.

5. **Key discussion points** — 3-5 bullet summaries of important discussions (not every detail).

6. **Follow-up email draft** — ready to send to attendees summarizing decisions, action items, and next steps. Professional but not stiff.

7. **Next meeting agenda suggestion** — based on open items and action deadlines.
Notes: Claude handles very long transcripts well. Paste the full Otter/Fireflies export directly. For recurring meetings, ask Claude to compare this week's notes against last week's action items to track what got done.
