Meeting summary prompt

What most people type

summarize these meeting notes into action items: [notes] Jen will send the Q3 deck by Friday. Mark needs to confirm the venue. We agreed to cut the print budget by 15%. Next meeting Oct 3.

Summarize these meeting notes into a list of action items. For each item, give the owner, the task, and the deadline. If the owner or deadline isn't stated, write "not specified" and don't guess. List decisions and the next meeting date separately under "Decisions" and "Next meeting".

Notes:
Jen will send the Q3 deck by Friday. Mark needs to confirm the venue. We agreed to cut the print budget by 15%. Next meeting Oct 3.

Why this version works

• Removed stray [notes] placeholder. The notes are already pasted, so it only confuses.
• Asked for owner, task, deadline per item. Makes action items clear and usable.
• Separated decisions and next meeting. The budget cut and date aren't tasks.
• Told it not to guess missing details. Mark's task has no deadline, and the budget cut has no owner.

What a professional meeting summary prompt covers
