Why this matters

A transcript is raw material, not a record. Nobody reads twelve pages. People do read four decisions with names against them.

The 20-minute experiment

1. 1Install Granola or Otter on your laptop, tell your colleagues you're recording, and record one real meeting
2. 2When it ends, copy the transcript, or use the tool's own summary box
3. 3Paste the prompt below with the transcript underneath it
4. 4Send the result to everyone who was in the room, before you go home

From this transcript, list only decisions made, open questions, and actions with an owner and a date. Nothing else.

• One meeting recorded with everyone's knowledge
• Output fits on one screen
• Every action has a person's name and a date next to it
• Sent the same day
