This is Season 14, Episode 4 of the ChatGPT Masterclass. In the last episode, we explored how AI-generated pre-meeting briefs can make sure everyone walks into a meeting already prepared. Now, we shift to what happens during the meeting—how to capture the important insights, action items, and decisions using AI-powered transcription.

Most teams still rely on manual note-taking, which is inconsistent, incomplete, and often gets lost. With AI, you can generate structured meeting notes in real time, without interrupting the discussion or missing anything important.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to use ChatGPT’s voice mode to transcribe your meetings, extract decisions, capture action items, and summarize follow-ups automatically.

Step 1. Use ChatGPT Voice Mode to Record the Meeting

To start, open the ChatGPT mobile app and activate voice mode by tapping the headphone icon. Select advanced voice mode and place your phone on the table or in front of your computer if it’s a virtual meeting.

Then, say:

ChatGPT. We are about to begin a strategy meeting. Please listen silently and do not speak unless we ask you. Your role is to record the conversation, capture key insights, decisions, and action items. At the end of the meeting, we will ask you to provide a structured summary.

This gives AI a clear task and ensures it captures the full context.

Step 2. Prompt AI to Generate the Transcription and Summary

Once the meeting is over, simply say:

ChatGPT. Please summarize the meeting. Include the main topics discussed, key insights shared, decisions made, and action items with responsible persons and deadlines.
