Your part
Every example ends with the step you take outside the prompt. A prompt can’t limit what a tool may access, check the answer or approve an action.
Meetings
Before
An AI note-taker switched on at the start of a client call, without a word.
After
Said at the start of the call:
“We’d like to use an AI note-taker so we can share accurate notes afterward. The notes stay in our company workspace. Is everyone happy with that?”
Your part
Record only with agreement, and do what you said with the notes.
Why it works: Ten seconds of asking keeps the client’s trust and tells everyone where their words will go.
Meetings
Before
“Summarize the meeting transcript.”
After
“From this transcript, list only the decisions, the actions with owners and deadlines as stated, and the open questions. Mark anything said as a possibility, not a decision.”
Your part
Check each decision and deadline against what was said, fix who said what, then send it with a line asking for corrections.
Why it works: Separating decisions from possibilities stops a provisional date from becoming a promise.
