# Turn a recording into next steps

End the meeting with a next step.

Use in: ChatGPT · attach an audio file

Reviewed: 2026-10-09

## Before you start

- One supported audio file, such as MP3 or M4A.
- ChatGPT audio-upload access; use a transcript if uploads are unavailable.

## How to use it

1. Attach the recording and give the meeting context in one sentence.
2. Copy the prompt and request one recap and one unsent draft.
3. Check decisions, names and deadlines against the recording.

## Prompt to copy

Use the recording I attach to produce a concise meeting recap: decisions, next actions, owners explicitly named and unresolved questions. Include timestamps only when you can verify them. Mark unclear speech and do not invent names or deadlines. Finish with a follow-up email draft under 120 words. Do not send it.

## A practical example

Illustrative scenario, not a measured case study.

A 15-minute launch check-in. Ask for decisions, named owners and unresolved questions. A deadline not spoken in the recording stays unspecified.

## Check the result

- Unclear audio is labeled, not guessed.
- Only explicitly assigned owners and deadlines appear.
- The email stays under 120 words and remains a draft.

Audio uploads were announced on October 6 for paid subscriptions and workspaces. Attach a supported audio file, such as MP3 or M4A. Review uncertain details against the recording.
