Transcript to Actions

Turn any meeting transcript into owned, dated action items, tracked tasks, and per-owner follow-up email drafts, with a file you can trust even when Planner writes fail.

What it produces

• actions.md in OneDrive at /Documents/Cowork/meeting-actions/<date>-<meeting>/: decisions, an action-items table (owner, verb-led action, due date, source quote), open questions, and a write log.
• Tasks in Microsoft To Do or a named Planner plan, created only where Cowork can confirm the write by reading the task back. Unconfirmed writes fall back to the file and are reported as such.
• One Outlook Draft per action owner listing their items, subject prefixed DRAFT:, never sent.
• A run report stating the exact save path of every artifact and which task writes succeeded.

What to say to it

• “Turn this transcript into action items and follow-up emails.”
• “Here's the recap from Monday's steering meeting. Pull out the actions and put them in Planner.”
• “Get the action items from yesterday's project sync, create To Do tasks, and draft the follow-ups.”
• “Extract the decisions, actions, and open questions from the transcript at Documents/Recordings/q3-review.docx.”
