What they did
With the minutes archive open, he had Claude in Chrome visit each meeting and extract the exact text as markdown. He tested with one meeting first; when a whole year was too much, he split it into parts.
How it went

Good to know
Testing with one item before the full batch is advice that applies to any automation.
The prompt
These are [number] meeting minutes [paste or attach]. From each one, extract: date, attendees, decisions and action items, in a single table, without paraphrasing the decisions in your own words.
Replace what is in [brackets]. Prompt written by us from the account, not a literal copy of the source. Do not paste other people’s personal data (privacy laws such as LGPD and GDPR apply).
Summary in our own words. Results as stated in the original account; we have not tested or audited them. Read the source ↗ Case found via agentusecases.ai (Alex Finn); text and prompt rewritten by us. Found a mistake?
