Transform lengthy discussion threads into structured meeting notes with clear action items and automatically assign tasks to team members.

Workflow Steps

1

Slack

Export discussion thread

Use Slack's workflow builder or Zapier to trigger when a specific emoji reaction (📝) is added to a message thread. This exports the entire thread conversation including all replies and timestamps.

2

OpenAI GPT-4

Extract structure and actions

Process the thread content through GPT-4 with a prompt to identify: key decisions made, action items with owners, deadlines mentioned, and unresolved questions. Format output as structured meeting notes with clear sections.

3

Asana

Create tasks and assign

Automatically create individual tasks in Asana for each action item identified. Assign to the mentioned team members, set due dates based on discussed timelines, and add the original Slack thread link for context. Create in designated project board.
