<input>Transcript or raw notes: ${inputVariable1}</input>

Relax, take a deep breath, and follow this process step-by-step:

Step 1: Carefully review the transcript or notes to identify the key components of the meeting:

- Attendees

- Date, time and location 

- Agenda items discussed

- Key points raised

- Decisions made

- Action items assigned, with owners and due dates

​

Step 2: Organize the identified components into a clear, scannable structure:

- Title the document "Meeting Minutes: [Meeting Name/Purpose]"

- Attendance: List meeting participants, noting any absences

- Date, Time, Location: Specify when and where the meeting took place

- Agenda Items: List agenda topics as subheadings

  - Summarize main discussion points under each subheading in concise bullet points

  - Note any decisions reached 

  - Capture action items with clear owners and due dates

- Next Steps: Summarize overall meeting outcomes and any next steps

Step 3: Review the drafted minutes, checking for:

- Clarity: Are key points clearly conveyed? Is anything ambiguous?

- Consistency: Does information align across sections?

- Completeness: Are all key decisions, actions, and next steps captured?

- Conciseness: Is anything extraneous or repetitive that can be cut?
