This is Season 14, Episode 10 of the ChatGPT Masterclass. In the previous episode, we explored how to keep your leadership team informed with AI-generated decision summaries—without holding yet another meeting. Today, we’re talking about when to skip the meeting entirely—and how to replace it with a simple, accurate AI-generated report.
Meetings are expensive. They take up time, energy, and focus. And too often, they result in discussions without decisions. But many of these meetings don’t need to happen at all. They can be replaced by structured updates prepared by AI, so your team can stop talking and start acting.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to recognize when a meeting can be replaced with an AI report, how to create that report using ChatGPT, and how to distribute it in a way that keeps everyone aligned and accountable.
Step 1. Identify Which Meetings Can Be Skipped
Not every meeting can or should be replaced. But many status updates, check-ins, and planning syncs are good candidates.
Here’s a quick test. Ask yourself:
Is this meeting primarily about sharing updates?
Does it lack a clear decision to be made?
Are the same topics discussed repeatedly?
If yes, you can likely replace it with an AI-generated report.
You don’t need a whole leadership call just to say sales are on target or that the campaign is still running. Replace that meeting with an AI summary that gives everyone the information they need.

This is Season 14, Episode 9 of the ChatGPT Masterclass. In the last episode, we explored how to create an AI-powered meeting archive to keep your strategy discussions searchable and actionable. Today, we’re focusing on how to generate decision summaries for leadership—without the need for extra meetings or redundant briefings.
One of the biggest inefficiencies in leadership communication is having meetings just to update people on what’s already been decided. With AI, you can eliminate these briefings by automatically generating executive summaries that keep your leadership team aligned in real time.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to use ChatGPT to create leadership-level decision summaries from past meetings, shared documents, or strategy updates, and how to format them for quick and clear communication.
Step 1. Capture the Raw Decision Data
To generate a decision summary, you need to start with the source. This could be:
If you’re using ChatGPT voice mode in a meeting, just prompt it at the end:
ChatGPT. Please summarize the strategic decisions made in this meeting. Include the topic, what was decided, who is responsible, and any next steps or deadlines.
If you’re starting from a document or chat export, paste it

This is Season 14 Episode 5: How to Automate Action Item Tracking and Follow-Ups After Meetings
Many meetings generate great ideas and decisions, but if there’s no clear follow-up process, those ideas often never turn into action. Without a system to track who is responsible for what and how tasks are progressing, accountability gets lost and the same topics keep reappearing in meetings.
In this episode, we will fix that by automating action item tracking and follow-ups using AI. By the end of this episode, you will have a simple system for making sure every task assigned in a meeting gets done—without requiring manual follow-ups.
Why Action Item Tracking is Crucial
In many businesses, decisions made in meetings don’t always turn into actions because:
If every meeting results in clear assigned action items with deadlines and reminders, you create a culture of accountability. This reduces the need for unnecessary follow-up meetings and ensures that discussions lead to results.
How AI Can Automate Action Item Tracking
AI can take notes during the meeting, identify key decisions, extract action items, assign them to the right people, and track progress. Instead of relying on someone manually writing minutes, AI can do it instantly and distribute it automatically.
This is Season 14, Episode 4 of the ChatGPT Masterclass. In the last episode, we explored how AI-generated pre-meeting briefs can make sure everyone walks into a meeting already prepared. Now, we shift to what happens during the meeting—how to capture the important insights, action items, and decisions using AI-powered transcription.
Most teams still rely on manual note-taking, which is inconsistent, incomplete, and often gets lost. With AI, you can generate structured meeting notes in real time, without interrupting the discussion or missing anything important.
By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to use ChatGPT’s voice mode to transcribe your meetings, extract decisions, capture action items, and summarize follow-ups automatically.
Step 1. Use ChatGPT Voice Mode to Record the Meeting
To start, open the ChatGPT mobile app and activate voice mode by tapping the headphone icon. Select advanced voice mode and place your phone on the table or in front of your computer if it’s a virtual meeting.
Then, say:
ChatGPT. We are about to begin a strategy meeting. Please listen silently and do not speak unless we ask you. Your role is to record the conversation, capture key insights, decisions, and action items. At the end of the meeting, we will ask you to provide a structured summary.
This gives AI a clear task and ensures it captures the full context.
Step 2. Prompt AI to Generate the Transcription and Summary
Once the meeting is over, simply say:
ChatGPT. Please summarize the meeting. Include the main topics discussed, key insights shared, decisions made, and action items with responsible persons and deadlines.
This is Season 14 Episode 3: How AI Can Generate Instant Pre-Meeting Briefs for Attendees
One of the biggest reasons strategy meetings are inefficient is that attendees come unprepared. They spend the first part of the meeting trying to recall what was discussed previously, looking for key details, or catching up on background information. This leads to slow decision-making, repeated discussions, and wasted time.
In this episode, we will fix this issue using AI. You will learn how to generate instant pre-meeting briefs that ensure every attendee arrives fully prepared. By the end of this episode, you will have a system for automating meeting briefings with AI, so your meetings start with clear context and ready-to-go discussions.
Why Pre-Meeting Briefs Matter
Most meetings begin with recaps and clarifications because attendees have not reviewed past discussions. Even when notes are available, people often don’t take the time to read them. Without the right information, discussions become repetitive, and key details get lost.
A pre-meeting brief solves this problem by summarizing what attendees need to know in a short, digestible format. Instead of wasting time reviewing documents manually, AI can generate a structured, easy-to-read briefing that attendees can check before the meeting.
How AI Can Automate Pre-Meeting Briefs
AI can instantly generate a meeting brief by analyzing past discussions, extracting key points, and organizing information in a clear format. Instead of spending time manually creating a summary, AI can do it in seconds.
Here’s how AI helps:
First, AI scans past meeting notes and transcripts to identify key takeaways.Show more...
This is Season 14 Episode 2: Using AI to Generate Meeting Agendas That Keep Discussions Focused
Strategy meetings are often unfocused, with discussions jumping from topic to topic without clear direction. This leads to longer meetings, wasted time, and a lack of concrete decisions. The problem usually starts before the meeting even begins. Without a structured agenda, conversations lose focus, and meetings become inefficient.
In this episode, we will solve this issue using AI. You will learn how to create AI-generated meeting agendas that keep discussions clear, productive, and decision-driven. By the end of this episode, you will have a simple process for automating meeting agendas with AI, making sure that every discussion is focused and results-oriented.
Why Most Meeting Agendas Don’t Work
Many meetings either don’t have an agenda at all or use a generic one that doesn’t guide the conversation effectively. Often, agendas are created at the last minute, without considering what was discussed previously or what the team really needs to decide.
The result? Meetings go off track, people bring up unrelated topics, and key decisions are delayed. When a meeting lacks structure, it turns into a brainstorming session instead of a decision-making session. This is where AI can help.
How AI Can Generate Smarter, More Effective Agendas
AI can automate agenda creation by analyzing previous meetings, pulling in relevant discussion points, and structuring an agenda that keeps discussions on track. Instead of manually deciding what to cover, AI can ensure that every meeting builds on the last one and leads to clear action items.
Here’s how AI helps:
First, AI reviews p
This is Season 14 Episode 1: Why Most Strategy Meetings Waste Time – And How AI Can Fix That
Meetings are essential for making decisions and aligning teams, but they often waste valuable time. Too many meetings are filled with repetitive updates, unclear objectives, and endless discussions that don’t lead to action. Instead of driving progress, they drain energy and slow things down.
In this episode, we will look at why most strategy meetings are ineffective and how AI can fix the biggest problems. By the end of this episode, you will have a clear action plan to make your meetings shorter, more effective, and focused on real decisions.
The Problem with Traditional Strategy Meetings
Many strategy meetings suffer from the same issues. First, they start with long-winded updates that everyone could have read before the meeting. Second, there is no clear agenda, so discussions drift off-topic. Third, people spend too much time debating ideas without a structured way to reach decisions. And finally, meetings often end without clear action steps, leaving everyone confused about what happens next.
When you multiply this by multiple meetings per week, it quickly wastes hours of productivity. People leave these meetings frustrated and unmotivated, feeling like nothing got done.
How AI Can Solve These Issues
AI can transform strategy meetings by handling three key areas.
First, AI can prepare meetings in advance. Instead of spending the first half of the meeting reviewing information, AI can generate pre-meeting briefings that summarize updates, past discussions, and relevant data. Everyone enters the meeting already knowing the key details.
Welcome to Season 14 of the ChatGPT Masterclass: AI Skills for Business Success. This season is all about running highly effective strategy meetings with AI, ensuring that your leadership team spends less time talking and more time making decisions.
Most meetings waste time because they lack clear agendas, structured discussions, and actionable takeaways. AI can help automate meeting preparation, summarize discussions, track action items, and ensure decisions lead to real results.

By the end of this episode, you’ll know how to use AI to track employee performance, generate strategy-focused feedback, and create continuous, real-time performance coaching without unnecessary meetings.
Step 1: Define Performance Metrics That Align with Strategy
Most performance reviews focus on individual productivity metrics but fail to connect employees’ work to business strategy.
For AI to assist in performance reviews, you need to define what success looks like in a way that is measurable and relevant to company goals.
For example, if the strategic goal is expanding into a new market, employee performance should be measured based on how their actions contribute to this goal.

Step 1: Define What Execution Looks Like for Each Department
Before AI can track execution, you need to define what successful execution means. Different teams contribute to strategic goals in different ways, and execution tracking should be aligned with measurable actions.
For example, if the strategic goal is to expand into a new market:

In the last episode, we explored how to help remote teams execute strategy efficiently using AI. We discussed ways to automate strategy updates, track progress, and streamline collaboration across time zones.
Today, we take it a step further by discussing how to use AI to create personalized departmental strategy briefs.
