Turn the raw meeting notes below into a clear action list.

Meeting: {{meeting name}}
Date: {{date}}
Attendees: {{attendees}}

Produce:
1. A table of action items with the columns Action, Owner, Due date and Source line. Only include an item if the notes make clear someone agreed to do it. If the owner or due date is missing, write "Unassigned" or "No date" instead of guessing.
2. Decisions made, one line each.
3. Items that were discussed but have no owner or next step, so I can follow up.
4. A three-sentence summary I can send to people who were not in the meeting.

Keep wording close to the notes and do not turn opinions into commitments.

Notes:
{{notes}}

4 required fields are empty and will stay as a {{placeholder}} in the copied text.

How to use it

  1. Fill in the meeting name, date and attendees; the assistant uses the names to match owners to actions.
  2. Paste rough notes or a transcript. Messy notes are fine, but include who said what where you can.
  3. Scan the Unassigned and No date entries first; they are the follow-ups you need to chase.
  4. Copy the summary into your team channel and the table into your task tracker.

Example output

Illustrative only. Real answers depend on your input and the assistant you use.

Action items
| Action | Owner | Due date | Source line |
| Send the revised budget to finance | Priya | Friday | "Priya will send the new numbers by Friday" |
| Book the vendor demo | Unassigned | No date | "We should get a demo scheduled" |

Decisions
- The launch moves to the first week of December.

Discussed without an owner or next step
- Whether to hire a contractor for the migration.

Summary for people who were not there
The launch is now planned for the first week of December. Priya will send the revised budget to finance by Friday. A vendor demo and the contractor question still need an owner.
