Summary  
This chapter covers how to implement code that processes unstructured text to automatically extract structured action items—identifying tasks, responsible parties, and deadlines—from meeting transcripts.

General domain of usage  
Meeting management tools

After or during a meeting, the most important part is knowing what needs to be done.
Gemini helps you extract clear action items without having to review the entire discussion.



## Situation

A meeting ends with multiple tasks discussed.
Some are assigned directly, others are mentioned casually.

You need a clear list of:
* What needs to be done;
* Who is responsible;
* What the deadlines are.




Based on the meeting transcript or summary, you ask Gemini:



Extract action items from this meeting. Include task, owner, and deadline if mentioned.

Prompt



Gemini scans the conversation and identifies tasks.





You receive a structured list of tasks, making it easy to track responsibilities without manually collecting them after meetings. Gemini transforms discussions into clear next steps, allowing you to focus on execution instead of note-taking.
