2 meeting notes - AI Prompt Engineering

Learning Objectives

Use AI to extract structured data (Action Items, Decisions) from unstructured text (Transcripts).

Apply strict formatting constraints to generate ready-to-send meeting minutes.

Prevent the AI from guessing unassigned tasks.

Automating the Follow-Up

Meetings generate massive amounts of unstructured data (the transcript). If you record a meeting transcript, you can use AI to instantly parse that data, extract the signal from the noise, and generate professional meeting minutes.

The goal of this prompt is to create an output that you can immediately copy-paste into an email to your team without having to edit it.

Unstructured Data

Raw, unformatted information (like a messy 10-page meeting transcript full of tangents and cross-talk).

The Prompt

Here is a transcript of our meeting. Write a summary and tell me what everyone needs to do. [Transcript]

Analysis

The AI will write a conversational summary. It won't be formatted well, and if it's unsure who is supposed to do a task, it might guess.

Mini Challenge

Beginner

Use the 'Best' prompt above on a real transcript! If you don't have one, join a quick 5-minute Zoom call by yourself, enable transcription, talk about a fake project, and use the transcript to test this prompt.

💡 Hint: Make sure you deliberately mention a task without assigning it to anyone to test if the [UNASSIGNED] constraint works!

Knowledge Check

Why is the constraint 'If an action item does not have a clear assignee, label it as [UNASSIGNED]. Do not guess.' so important for this specific prompt?

Executive Summary

Transform messy meetings into structured, actionable data instantly by strictly defining the output format and preventing the AI from guessing.
