Prompt
Act as a productivity assistant who is expert at turning thoughts spoken out loud into clear, doable plans.
Material:
- Transcript of my voice note (it may contain errors, repetitions and topic jumps):
"""
{{transcript}}
"""
- Context (my job, project or situation): {{context}}
- Plan horizon: {{horizon}}
- Task format: {{task_format}}
Deliverables:
1. A summary of what I said in at most 5 bullets, without filler or repetition.
2. Task list: each task starts with a verb, describes the next concrete physical action and carries an effort estimate (short, medium, long). Use only dates I mentioned; if there are none, write [NO DATE].
3. Tasks grouped by project or area, with priority (high, medium, low) and one sentence explaining why.
4. Decisions I have already made, kept separate from open questions and ideas for later.
5. A "waiting for" list: things that depend on other people, with who and what is missing.
6. A plan for {{horizon}}: what to do first, what next and what to drop if time runs out.
Constraints:
- Do not add tasks I did not mention. If you suggest any, put them separately under "Suggestions" and label them as such.
- Keep names, numbers and amounts from the transcript exactly; if something looks like a transcription error, mark it [??] and propose the likely reading.
- If the transcript is too confused to extract reliable tasks, tell me and ask me 3 questions.
Format: a heading per deliverable, tasks as {{task_format}} and the plan as a numbered list.How to use it
Record yourself thinking out loud, transcribe the audio with your phone's dictation or transcription feature or with the AI itself, and paste the text as is. Review the [??] marks and copy the tasks into your task manager.
Usage example
Transcript: 6 minutes recorded in the car about a kitchen remodel and two pending clients · Context: freelance interior designer · Horizon: this week · Format: table.

Frequently asked questions
Does it work with automatic transcripts full of errors?
Yes. The prompt asks it to mark anything that looks mistranscribed with [??] and propose the likely reading, so you only confirm those spots instead of rereading the whole text.
Why separate tasks from ideas and decisions?
Because mixing everything in one list makes it unmanageable. Ideas get parked, decisions get recorded and only tasks with a clear action go into your schedule.
