Raw meeting notes are usually a mess β€” half-finished thoughts, tangents, initials without context. This recipe turns them into something actually useful: a clean summary, a clear action list, and if needed, a ready-to-send follow-up.

The Recipe

Here are my raw notes from a meeting:

[paste your raw notes]

Please:
1. Write a short summary of what was discussed and decided (3–5 sentences max)
2. List all action items in this format: [Who] will [what] by [when β€” if mentioned]
3. Flag any decisions that seem unclear or anything that probably needs to be confirmed with the group

Meeting context: [who attended, what the meeting was about β€” optional but helps]

Example

Here are my raw notes from a meeting:

kicked off at 2pm. mark and sarah there plus me. talked about q4 launch. sarah said marketing budget approved but only 60% of what we asked for. mark wants to push launch to nov instead of oct - sarah not sure. action: mark to put together revised timeline by friday. i need to check with design team about asset delivery. no one mentioned legal review - is that still needed? sarah leaving for conference next week.

Please:
1. Summary of what was discussed and decided
2. All action items with owner and deadline
3. Anything unclear or needing follow-up confirmation

Meeting context: Q4 product launch planning call, 3 attendees.
