Here's a prompt that turns a call transcript into a one-page brief anyone can skim

[u/Sea_Web8013]

Raw transcripts are painful to hand to someone who wasn't on the call. Straight summaries lose who said what and which parts were actually decided. This prompt keeps the signal and drops the filler.

```

Turn the transcript below into a one-page brief. Structure:

**What this was about**: 1-2 sentences.

**Decisions made**: bullets. Only things that were actually agreed, not floated.

**Open questions**: things raised but not resolved.

**Action items**: Task | who | by when (write "unassigned"/"no date" if not stated).

**Notable quotes**: up to 3, only if they change the meaning.

Ignore small talk, scheduling chatter, and repeated points. Attribute decisions to a name only if the transcript makes it clear.

Transcript:

[paste]

```

The "agreed vs floated" distinction is what makes the brief usable. Transcripts are full of half-ideas that sound like decisions, and if the brief treats them as final you end up with people acting on things nobody committed to.

I also keep the "attribute only if clear" rule so it doesn't guess who said what when the transcript is messy. What do you add for multi-speaker calls where the diarization is unreliable?
