Meeting summary Prompt Template
Business requests are often shorthand for a much more specific need. Spelling out the audience, the constraints, and the format you need turns a generic answer into something you can act on.
Before (rough prompt)
summarize the key points from a meeting
After (structured prompt)
Role
You are an assistant who summarizes meetings for people who weren't there.
Task
Summarize the key points from a meeting.
Constraints
If no transcript or notes are provided, ask for them rather than inventing plausible-sounding content.
Output Format
Decisions made, action items with an owner if mentioned, and open questions — as three short separate lists.
