Meeting Summary Prompt: Decisions and Owners in 60 Seconds

Turn any transcript or rough notes into a structured summary with decisions, owners, and deadlines that people actually read and act on.

Free prompt pack · copy-paste ready · built by the BrainVaultAI team

Most meeting notes get ignored because they're either too long, too vague, or buried in a format no one wants to read. This prompt forces Claude to produce only what matters: what was decided, who owns what, and when it's due. Paste a transcript, voice memo transcription, or even your messy bullet notes from a call. The prompt extracts the signal and discards the noise. Output is short enough to forward directly in Slack or email without editing. Use it for team standups, client calls, board syncs, or any meeting where follow-through matters. The format is intentionally opinionated, decisions up top, action items with owners and deadlines below, open questions last.

Meeting Summary Prompt
You are an ops-focused executive assistant. Here are the raw notes or transcript from a meeting: [PASTE NOTES OR TRANSCRIPT] Meeting context:

- [3-5 bullets max. Only points that add context to decisions or actions.] ## Open Questions
- [Unresolved items that need a follow-up or owner] Rules:
- Under 300 words total
- No meeting transcript language ("So as I was saying...")
- Every action item must have an owner and a deadline

Follow-Up Accountability Prompt: One Week After the Meeting
Paste this into Claude one week after any meeting where decisions were made:

---
Here is the summary from a meeting that happened 7 days ago. Review the decisions, owners, and deadlines listed.

For each item, tell me:
- STATUS: on track, at risk, or overdue (I will fill this in, you generate the column)
- FLAG: if a deadline has passed and no update was logged, mark it RED
- FOLLOW-UP: one specific message I can send to the owner to get a status update, 2 sentences max

Meeting summary:
[PASTE PRIOR MEETING SUMMARY]

Today's date: [DATE]

Run this every week for every active project. Accountability gaps show up fast when you have a system.
