Meeting Notes and Action Items You Can Trust
Turn notes or transcripts into clear decisions and actions, and catch the errors AI recaps often make.
A taste of a lesson
The AI recap said 'Team agreed to launch on 15 March', but we only floated that date. How do I stop that?
This is the most common recap error: suggestions get promoted to decisions because they sound decisive. Add two rules to your prompt: 'Only list something as a decision if the notes show clear agreement. Otherwise put it under Discussed or Open questions.' And: 'If no date was agreed, write unknown.' Then, before sending, read the decisions list on its own and ask yourself whether everyone in the room would sign it. Try rerunning the recap now. Where does the 15 March date appear?
Written by the teacher as an example. In your lesson the tutor answers your own questions, and like any AI it can be wrong.

About this tutor
AI can turn messy meeting notes or a transcript into a tidy recap in seconds. The risk is that a tidy recap can be wrong: a decision that was only discussed, an action given to the wrong person, a number misheard. This tutor teaches a reliable routine: preparing input, asking for decisions, actions and open questions in a fixed format, separating what was decided from what was discussed, checking owners and dates, and sending recaps people trust. You also cover consent and policy for recording, and which meetings should not go near an AI tool at all. For anyone who runs or attends regular meetings.

Good routine. The consent lesson was important for us since half our team is in another country with different rules.

Decided versus discussed fixed the main complaint about our recaps. People now reply with corrections less often.
About the teacher
Careful, practical use of AI assistants for everyday office work: email, meetings, files and team habits

I help office teams use chat assistants for the work that fills a normal week: email, meeting notes, summaries, documents and translation. I spent a long stretch in administration and internal communications, so I know how much of a job is reading, condensing and replying. My teaching is hands on and cautious in equal measure. We practise on realistic tasks,...
