Meetings digest

By Nick Basile

The worst part of meetings isn't the meeting — it's realizing three days later that you forgot to do the thing you said you'd do. This skill catches all of that before it slips.

OVERVIEW

What it does

Nothing from your meetings falls through the cracks

Meetings Digest reads your Granola transcripts — both your private notes and the AI-enhanced version — and hunts for anything that needs follow-up.

It catches the obvious stuff like "I'll send that over by Friday" but also the less obvious: someone asking you to review something, a decision that implies a next step, a deadline mentioned in passing. Every item gets tagged with the meeting it came from.

The output goes straight to the conversation. You get a structured summary with action items, commitments, decisions, and key discussion points — ready to copy into your task manager or notes.

WORKFLOW

How it works

How it works

From transcript to action items in four steps.

1

Find recent transcripts

Locates your Granola notes directory and finds meetings from the last 24 hours.

2

Extract action items

Reads everything — your private notes, the enhanced notes, the full transcript. If someone said "can you" or you said "I'll," it catches it.

3

Identify commitments and decisions

Separates action items from commitments others made and decisions the group agreed on. Each tagged with the meeting source.

4

Output structured summary

Delivers a formatted summary with action items, commitments, decisions, and key discussion points — all attributed to their source meeting.

PREREQUISITES

FAQ

Common questions

Does this work with meeting tools other than Granola?

It's built for Granola's transcript format. If your meeting tool exports transcripts as markdown or text files, you could adapt the file-reading logic, but out of the box it expects Granola's structure.

What if a meeting had no action items?

The skill notes it in the output so you know it was reviewed. Your summary doesn't get cluttered with empty entries.

Where does the output go?

Straight to the conversation. It doesn't write files or modify your transcripts. Copy the summary into your task manager, notes, or wherever you track follow-ups.

Can I look further back than 24 hours?

Yes — if no recent meetings are found, the skill offers to search further back. You can also ask it to process meetings from a specific date range.
