Clean up these meeting notes.
Below are my rough notes from today's planning meeting for the spring product launch. Turn them into: 1. A table of action items with columns: task, owner, due date 2. A short list of decisions we made 3. A list of open questions nobody answered Use only what's in the notes. If an action has no owner or date, write "Not set" so I can chase it. [paste your notes]
Why it works
Notes are written fast and in the order things came up, so the tasks are scattered. Asking for a fixed structure pulls them into one place that people can scan. Marking missing owners and dates as "Not set" shows you the gaps instead of letting the AI invent a name or a deadline.
