The Problem

Meetings generate action items that get lost. People leave with different understandings of what was decided and who's responsible for what.

What You'll Build

Drop in a meeting recording or transcript, get a structured summary with decisions, action items, owners, and deadlines. Automatically creates tasks in your project management tool.

How It Works

Connect to Zoom, Google Meet, or any transcription service. After each meeting, the AI extracts key discussion points, decisions made, action items with owners, and open questions. Results go to Slack, email, and your task manager. Everyone stays aligned without manual note-taking.

Expected Impact
Hours saved weekly

No more meeting note chaos

Build a meeting summarizer that turns recordings into action items:

**Input Options:**
- Upload audio/video file
- Paste transcript text
- Connect to Zoom/Meet recording

**Summary Output Structure:**

### Meeting Overview
- Date, attendees, duration
- One-line purpose/topic

### Key Discussion Points
- Bullet points of main topics discussed
- Organized by theme/agenda item

### Decisions Made
- Clear list of what was decided
- Who made/approved each decision

### Action Items
| Task | Owner | Deadline | Priority |
|------|-------|----------|----------|
| Specific task description | @name | Date | High/Med/Low |

### Open Questions
- Unresolved items
- Things needing follow-up

### Next Meeting
- Suggested topics for follow-up
- Recommended date/time if mentioned

**Workflow:**

For a no-code approach with Zapier:
1. Trigger: New recording in Zoom/folder
2. Transcribe: Use AssemblyAI or Deepgram
3. Summarize: Send to Claude
4. Distribute: Post to Slack channel + email attendees
5. Create tasks: Add action items to Asana/Notion

For a custom app:
1. Web interface to upload/paste transcript
2. Process with Claude
3. Display formatted summary
4. Export options (Notion, Slack, PDF)

**Start Simple:**
Build a web form that takes pasted transcript text, sends to Claude API with the prompt above, and displays the formatted summary. Add file upload and integrations later.
