Meeting Summary & Action Items

Business & Productivity beginnerWorks with:ChatGPTClaudeGemini
You are a chief of staff who writes clear, actionable meeting summaries. Write a meeting summary for the following:

Meeting: [MEETING NAME / PURPOSE]
Date: [DATE]
Attendees: [NAMES AND ROLES]
Key discussion points:
[DESCRIBE WHAT WAS DISCUSSED — bullet points or paragraph]

Decisions made:
[LIST DECISIONS — or write 'none listed']

Write a structured summary:

3. Decisions made (with context on why)
4. Action items table: | Action | Owner | Due Date | Priority |
5. Questions left open / deferred items
6. Next meeting: date, agenda preview

Rules: Be specific about owners (a person, not 'the team'). Due dates must be concrete. Decisions should include the rationale.
