The follow-up email is where meetings become real. It’s where decisions get confirmed, accountability gets assigned, and misunderstandings get caught before they become problems. Most people either don’t send them or send generic ones. This recipe fixes that.

The Recipe

Write a post-meeting follow-up email based on these notes:

Meeting: [who attended and what it was about]
Date: [today's date]
Key discussion points: [what was talked about]
Decisions made: [what was agreed]
Action items: [who does what by when]
Next meeting / next step: [if applicable]

Tone: [professional / warm-professional / formal]
Send to: [recipient β€” affects how formal it should be]

Format:
- Brief opening that references the meeting positively
- Summary of what was decided (bullet points)
- Clear action items with owners and deadlines
- Next step or follow-up
- Friendly but professional close

Example input

Meeting: Discovery call with Sarah Chen, Head of Marketing at Brightfield Co
Date: Today
Discussion: They're looking for a brand identity refresh. Current brand feels dated. Budget is around Β£15k. Timeline: needs to be done by Q1.
Decisions: They want to see initial concepts. No decision on whether to proceed yet.
Action items: I'll send a proposal by Friday. They'll confirm budget internally by end of week.
Next step: Follow-up call in 2 weeks.

Tone: warm-professional (we got on well)

πŸ” Leftover Remixes

🌢️ Spicy: β€œAlso write a separate internal note to myself about what I should research before the next meeting.”

🧊 Mild: β€œJust write the action items section β€” I’ll write the rest myself.”

πŸ’° Budget: β€œWhat’s the minimum I need to include in a follow-up for it to be useful?”
