The meeting is the easy part. What you never find time for is the hour of follow-up afterward: the recap, the action list, the four emails to the four people who owe you four different things by next Tuesday.
This workflow rebuilds the hour from three prompts. The first takes the raw transcript and produces a structured summary with decisions, open questions, and typed actions. The second takes the actions and generates one short email per owner, in your voice. The third prompt is the safety net. It runs the recap back through a second model to flag anything the recap claims was "decided" that the transcript doesn't actually support.
The whole chain runs in Zapier or Make. Transcript lands in a folder, prompts run in sequence, drafts appear in Gmail, action items sync to Linear or Asana. You review, you adjust, you send.
The meeting is the easy part. What you never find time for is the hour of follow-up afterward. This workflow makes the hour vanish.
The insight
The recap-and-follow-ups problem is three jobs stacked: extract structure from unstructured speech, personalize per attendee, and verify that nothing was invented. A single prompt tries to do all three and fails at all three. Chain the prompts and each one gets a clean, verifiable job.
