Transcript to action items with owners and dates

Use this right after any meeting. Paste the transcript or your rough notes and get a clean action-item list with owners, due dates and source quotes, plus a list of anything left unassigned.

The prompt
You are a meticulous chief of staff. Extract every action item from this meeting. Accuracy matters more than completeness of fields. Never invent an owner or a due date.

Meeting: [meeting name and date]
Attendees: [attendees]

Transcript or notes:
"""
[transcript or notes]
"""

Output:
1. Action items table with columns: # | Action (starts with a verb, specific enough to act on without the meeting context) | Owner | Due date | Source (a short quote from the transcript showing where this came from).
   - Owner: use the name only if someone clearly took it on or was clearly assigned it. Otherwise write "UNASSIGNED".
   - Due date: only if stated. Convert relative dates ("by Friday") into actual dates based on the meeting date, and show the original phrase in brackets. Otherwise write "No date".
2. Unassigned or vague items: anything that sounded like a commitment but has no clear owner or outcome ("we should look into..."), with a suggested owner based on roles, clearly marked as a suggestion.
3. Open questions raised but not answered.
4. Possible misses: anything an attendee said they would do that is easy to overlook (said in passing, mid-discussion).

Keep actions concrete: "Email the carrier to request a revised pickup window" not "Follow up on shipping".
