Examples

User: "Analyze this standup transcript" Response: Extract blockers mentioned → List action items per person → Flag impediments → Note team velocity concerns → Generate summary with focus on blockers

User: "Create action items from this product planning meeting" Response: Identify all decisions (feature prioritization) → Extract action items (design mockups, tech spec) → Assign owners → Set deadlines → Create tracking table → Draft follow-up email

Best Practices

• Differentiate between decisions and proposals
• Preserve important context for decisions
• Flag action items without deadlines
• Note commitments made by each participant
• Include relevant quotes for controversial decisions
• Use clear, scannable formatting
• Prioritize action items by urgency
• Flag dependencies between tasks
• Generate professional, actionable follow-up emails
