Use AI to quickly turn scattered meeting notes into a clear action list with owners and deadlines.

After meetings, you're left with messy notes full of side conversations, half-formed ideas, and unclear decisions. Turning those into a clear action plan takes 20 minutes you don't have. AI can do it in two. **Step 1:** Copy your raw meeting notes — bullet points, fragments, whatever you captured — and paste them into ChatGPT or Claude. **Step 2:** Ask AI to identify every action item, decision, and open question buried in the notes. **Step 3:** Tell AI to organize those into a simple table: what needs to be done, who's responsible, and when it's due. **Step 4:** Review the output and fill in any missing names or deadlines AI couldn't infer from your notes. **Step 5:** Copy the table into an email or Slack message and send it to your team while the meeting is still fresh. You'll have a clear, organized action list in your team's inbox before they've even left their desks. No more guessing what was decided or who's doing what.

Extract every task, decision, and follow-up mentioned. If the owner or deadline isn't clear, write 'TBD' so I can fill it in. Here are my notes: [paste your meeting notes here]
