Extracts decisions, action items with owners and deadlines, and open questions from a transcript, quoting where each came from.

Prompt, 1 blank to fill

{{TRANSCRIPT}}
</transcript>

Return:
1. Decisions made, each in one sentence.
2. Action items as a table: Action, Owner, Due date, Source quote (a short exact quote from the transcript).
3. Open questions nobody answered.

Rules: only include actions someone actually agreed to. If no owner or date was stated, write "unassigned" or "no date". Do not invent deadlines.

Example output

| Action | Owner | Due | Source | | Send revised quote | Maya | Tue | "I can get the new quote over by Tuesday" | Decision: pilot limited to 2 regions. Open: who signs off the budget?

How to use

Use the transcript from Zoom, Teams, Meet or any recorder. For meetings longer than an hour, split the transcript in halves and merge the results.

Why it works

Source quotes keep every action grounded in what was said, so nobody is surprised by a task they never agreed to. Marking missing owners makes the gaps obvious enough to fix.
