I built a free n8n workflow that turns messy meeting notes into action items

Description and use

<p>Meetings end, notes get lost, and action items live in someone's head until they don't.</p> <p>I got tired of re-reading raw transcripts to work out who owed what, so I automated it with n8n + GPT-4o-mini. It is free, it is on GitHub, and you can import it in about a minute.</p> <h2> What it does </h2> <p>You paste a transcript (or a messy bullet list of what was said) and the workflow returns four things:</p> <ol> <li> <strong>Summary</strong> - 2-3 sentences on what the meeting was about and where it landed.</li> <li> <strong>Decisions</strong> - only the decisions that were actually made
