Meeting Notes AI workflow template: Meeting notes people can act on.

The Meeting Notes template makes your AI turn a meeting into shareable notes: save the raw record, extract the summary, decisions, owners and open questions, and format them for the team. It stops once, so you confirm the decisions and owners before anything is distributed. Every version is kept as a task note.

in short

What does the Meeting Notes template do?

For team leads and operators who leave meetings with rough notes or a transcript and need clean decisions and owners the same day.

It is a stored workflow, not a prompt. Your AI client receives one step at a time from ConvOps over MCP, does the work, and advances. The engine holds the run at the approval until a person says yes.

  • Turn rough notes into a summary with decisions and action items
  • Write up a team standup into a shareable recap
  • Summarize a transcript into decisions, owners, and next steps
step by step

How does the Meeting Notes workflow run?

4 steps, in this order. Below each one is the instruction your AI receives at that step, exactly as the template stores it.

Capture
Extractapproval
Distribute
Completeclosing note
  1. 01

    Capture

    the agent works

    Capture the raw record of the meeting before structuring anything.

    Record:

    • Meeting title, date, and who attended
    • The purpose or agenda
    • What was discussed: paste notes, a transcript, or your recollection

    If the record is incomplete, ask the operator for the missing pieces.

    Save the raw meeting record as a task note with task_notes_add. The next step (Extract) reads this note.

  2. 02

    Extract

    waits for your approval

    Read the task notes with task_notes_list: the note from the Capture step contains the raw record. Work from it.

    Extract clean structure. What good looks like:

    • A two- or three-line summary of the meeting
    • Key discussion points, condensed
    • Decisions made, stated plainly
    • Action items, each with an owner and a due date where known
    • Open questions still unresolved

    Capture only what was said: do not invent decisions or owners.

    Save the structured notes as a task note with task_notes_add. Then ask the operator to confirm the decisions and owners are right before distributing. This is a checkpoint: once notes go out they shape what people act on, so the AI cannot advance until you approve.

    no rejection path · the run moves on only when approved

  3. 03

    Distribute

    the agent works

    Read the task notes with task_notes_list: the note from the Extract step contains the confirmed notes. Work from it.

    Format the notes for sharing:

    • Clean, scannable layout: summary, decisions, action items, open questions
    • Action items grouped by owner so each person sees their part
    • The right destination (email, doc, channel) for this team

    Share the notes with the people who need them, or hand the formatted version to the operator to post.

    Save the final shared notes as a task note with task_notes_add so the record of what was distributed stays on file.

  4. 04

    Complete

    closes with a note

    The meeting notes are structured and distributed. Confirm the final notes are saved as a task note, then close out the task.

where a person decides

Where do you approve in Meeting Notes?

One step waits for a person. You answer in the chat; the engine records the verdict and the audit row records who gave it.

step 2

Extract

Once notes go out they shape what people act on. You confirm the decisions and the owners are right before the AI distributes anything.

what you review

  • A two- or three-line summary of the meeting
  • Key discussion points, condensed
  • Decisions made, stated plainly
  • Action items, each with an owner and a due date where known
  • Open questions still unresolved

no rejection path · approve to continue

gates the engine checks without you

  • Complete closes only when your AI leaves a closing note. The note is saved to the task as context, so later work can find why it ended the way it did.
what you need

What do you need to run Meeting Notes?

Read from the template's own steps: the tools they call, the files they write, and whether they touch code.

An AI client
Claude Code, Claude (desktop, web, Cowork), OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, OpenCode, or any MCP client. ConvOps does not run the model; your client does the work.
ConvOps
A workspace with Meeting Notes installed. It attaches to the task task type, so new work of that type starts on it.
Tools your AI calls
workflow_advance to move between steps, plus task_notes_add and task_notes_list to save and read each step's output.
Where the work lands
Task notes in ConvOps. Each step saves its output with task_notes_add, and the next step reads it back.
A repository
No. A plain chat client is enough.
Roles named in steps
None. One AI runs every step.

How do you customize Meeting Notes?

An installed template is a workflow in your workspace. Ask your AI to change it in plain words; the edit lands on the one step that needs it.

the difference

Meeting Notes: without a workflow vs with it

  • Notes live in one person's notebook and the decisions are forgotten by the next meeting
  • The summary ships with an action item assigned to nobody and a decision left out
  • You write up half the notes, get interrupted, and lose the thread of what was decided
  • The process lives in a prompt, and each run follows it a little differently
questions

Meeting Notes template FAQ

Will the AI invent decisions or owners?

The Extract instruction says to capture only what was said and not invent decisions or owners. You then confirm the decisions and owners at the Extract approval before distribution.

Where are the notes stored?

Each step saves its output as a task note: the raw record at Capture, the structured notes at Extract, the shared version at Distribute. The next step reads the previous note, so a fresh session can pick up where the last one stopped.

How is it different from Meeting Follow-Up?

Meeting Notes produces internal notes for the team. Meeting Follow-Up drafts a message to the other side of a call and gates the send.

Which AI clients can run the Meeting Notes template?

Any MCP client connected to ConvOps. Verified clients: Claude Code, Claude (desktop, web, Cowork), OpenAI Codex, ChatGPT, Cursor, OpenCode. It needs no repository, so a plain chat client works.
