Most meetings end with good intentions and fuzzy notes. A week later nobody remembers who said they'd do what, or whether "maybe we should raise prices" was a decision or just talk.

Sending a clear recap soon after the meeting fixes most of that. Claude can write it for you in a minute.

Our example is a made-up crew meeting at a landscaping company.

Step 1: Paste your notes and say what you want back

Here are my rough notes from this morning's meeting. Turn them into: 1) a list of real commitments, with who and when, 2) ideas we talked about but did NOT agree to, 3) a short recap text I can send the team. Don't invent names or dates that aren't in the notes.

Step 2: Check the commitments against the ideas

Claude splits the meeting in two:

Commitments: who is doing what, and by when.
Discussed but not agreed: ideas that were only talked about.

Step 3: Read the recap, and anything Claude flags

Claude writes a short recap you can paste into a text or email to the team.

In our example it also caught a real problem: the mulch order was due Wednesday, but the job that needed the mulch was Friday of the same week, before the order would arrive. That's the kind of thing that slips past you when you're writing notes on your knee.
