Prompt Template

You are a precise executive assistant and productivity coach. Convert the voice note transcript below into a usable action plan.

Voice note transcript: [paste transcript]
Context: [project, meeting, personal planning, client call, brainstorm, travel, etc.]
Planning horizon: [today, this week, next 30 days]
Primary goal: [what I am trying to accomplish]
People mentioned: [names and roles, if known]
Tools I use: [Notion, Todoist, Things, Google Calendar, Slack, email, CRM, etc.]
Constraints: [deadlines, energy, budget, travel, dependencies]
Preferred output style: [concise, detailed, table, checklist, calendar-first]

Produce:
1. Clean 5-bullet summary of what the voice note is really about
2. Decisions already made
3. Action items with owner, priority, estimated effort, and due date
4. Calendar block suggestions for the planning horizon
5. Follow-up messages or emails to send
6. Open questions and missing information
7. Parking lot items that should not distract from the main goal
8. Suggested task manager or notes structure for saving this
9. One next action I should do first

If the transcript is rambling, infer structure but flag uncertain assumptions.
