What you will make
A practical ChatGPT guide to turn meeting notes into an action register. Use the sample input and prompt, then check the result. Use a fictional small-office IT team as the practice setting. Keep the approved facts in a clearly labeled source block.
Prepare the source and scope
Label the meeting date and paste notes with speaker names only where known. Keep decisions, suggestions and unresolved questions distinguishable. Open the ChatGPT app or website and start a focused conversation for this exercise.
Try this prompt
In ChatGPT, provide the prepared input, then send the following request. For real work, replace fictional details with approved facts.
Extract decisions and actions from these notes. Use Action, Owner, Due date and Evidence columns. Mark suggestions as Proposed, and leave an unrecorded deadline as Not stated.Review the result
Every action must trace to a note. Check that a proposed task has not become an agreed commitment. Record each correction and its supporting source.
If the answer is wrong or incomplete
A speaker mentioning a problem is not automatically its owner. Confirm uncertain assignments with the meeting participants. For recurring work, keep the active source list with the project brief; for a one-off task, supply just the relevant excerpt.
Practice and completion check
Repeat with one incomplete input. Check the answer against the review criteria, remove unsupported claims and save the prompt with its source version. This workflow has not been verified in a customer deployment.
