Agenda Extraction

Pull stated agenda, implicit agenda, and unresolved discussion targets from invite text and meeting content.

Purpose

Make the meeting frame explicit before summarizing outcomes or extracting tasks.

When to use it

  • The invite includes prep notes or bullet points.
  • The transcript starts midstream or wanders across topics.
  • You need to compare planned agenda against actual discussion.

Inputs

  • Calendar invite
  • Transcript segments
  • Meeting title

Outputs

  • Agenda items
  • Covered items
  • Uncovered or emergent items

Steps

  1. Extract explicit agenda items from invite text and attachments.
  2. Identify implicit agenda from opening remarks and repeated topic markers.
  3. Match agenda items to transcript spans.
  4. Flag items that were skipped or newly introduced.

Quality checks

  • Invite agenda and inferred agenda are labeled separately.
  • Each covered item links to transcript evidence.

Failure modes

  • The invite uses stale agenda text from a recurring meeting.
  • Participants discuss side topics that look like agenda items.

Privacy notes

  • Invite attachments can include confidential docs.
  • Do not quote agenda text externally without permission.

Example prompt

Extract the explicit and implicit agenda, then mark which items were covered, skipped, or introduced during the meeting.

Example structured output

{"explicit":["Review v2 workbook"],"implicit":["Landing DC rule"],"covered":["Review v2 workbook"],"new":["Role permission fix"]}
