Turn notes into a brief

A short, plain-language brief: ready for the conversation ahead.

Anyone making a decision with other people who wants their thinking laid out before the conversation.

Works with any AI assistant.

By the end of this, you'll be able to paste rough notes and get a short brief that separates facts, assumptions, options, and questions.

Step-by-step walkthrough

  1. Gather your notes

    Gather the facts, options, constraints, preferences, and open questions. Don’t sort them yet.

  2. Open your assistant

    Open the assistant you already use. A free plan works.

  3. Paste the prompt, then your notes

    Paste the prompt below, then your notes, and press enter.

  4. Read what came back

    Check the facts and the open questions. Move anything that landed in the wrong section.

  5. Share or use it

    Share it, or use it to structure the conversation. For money, medical, or legal decisions, bring in a qualified person before you act.

Copy this prompt

Copy this, paste it in, then paste your rough notes underneath.

Organize the notes I give you below into a short decision brief. Group them into four sections: (1) What we know — facts that are confirmed. (2) What we are assuming — things we believe but have not checked. (3) The options on the table — the choices we are weighing. (4) Questions to answer before deciding — what we need to know to move forward. Keep each section short and plain. Do not add information I have not given you, and do not recommend a choice. Here are my notes:
