What This Prompt Does
Most meeting transcripts are a wall of text — timestamps, back-and-forth conversations, side comments, and no clear structure. This prompt tells the AI exactly how to process that raw transcript and turn it into a document your whole team can actually use.
Paste the prompt into Claude.ai, ChatGPT, or any AI tool, then add your transcript at the bottom. The AI will produce a clean, structured output every time.
