PROMPT

Summarize this meeting transcript. Extract: (1) TL;DR — a one-paragraph summary of the meeting's purpose and outcome, (2) Decisions — what was agreed on, with enough context to understand why, (3) Action Items — each with an owner and deadline (flag any without a clear owner), (4) Open Questions — unresolved topics that need follow-up, (5) Parking Lot — ideas mentioned but deferred. Format clearly with headers. If the transcript is messy, do your best and flag anything ambiguous. Transcript: [paste your meeting transcript here]

How It Works

Your Claw processes meeting transcripts (from Otter.ai, Zoom, Google Meet,

Teams, or manual notes) and extracts the signal from the noise: what was

decided, who owns what, and what's still unresolved.

What You Get

  • One-paragraph TL;DR of the entire meeting
  • Decisions made with context for why
  • Action items with assignees and deadlines
  • Open questions that still need answers
  • Follow-up meeting agenda if needed

Setup Steps

  1. Get your meeting transcript (most video tools export these)
  2. Paste it to your Claw
  3. Get structured notes back in seconds
  4. Share with attendees or post to your team channel

Tips

  • Works with raw transcripts — doesn't need perfect formatting
  • Ask it to tag action items by person for easy follow-up
  • Can generate follow-up emails based on the meeting content
  • Pair with the Standup Generator so your meeting work shows up in standups
  • For recurring meetings, ask it to compare this week's notes to last week's
