AXHUB LECTURE · INTRO L4

Meeting notes, reports, email
— the office worker's three repeated tasks

Time about 30 minutesWhat you need one chatbot + one recent meeting note, Excel, and email eachFor office workers in general

Whatever your job, everyone does these three. That's why most corporate AI training curricula start here too. You'll rework each of the three tasks, 10 minutes each, using real material.

1Meeting notes (10 min)

The essence of meeting notes isn't transcription — it's extracting decisions, tasks, and owners.

That extraction is what AI does best.

Practice 1
From the meeting note (transcript) below, organize just three things into a table.
What was decided / tasks (including owner and deadline) / what to check before the next meeting.
Don't invent anything not in the note — mark it "TBD."
[paste the meeting note]

The last line is the key — adding "don't invent what isn't there" greatly reduces made-up content.

Check: did you compare the table's owners and deadlines against the original note?

2Report (10 min)

"Write the report" is an instruction that fails.

Break it into three steps: find → organize → summarize.

Practice 2 — the 3-way split
(1) From this data, find only the items that changed 20% or more from the previous month
(2) Organize the found items into a table with a guessed cause (mark guesses as "estimate")
(3) Summarize in 3 lines for the manager. First line, conclusion first.
[paste the Excel data]

Double-check the number calculations. Even verifying just one total yourself changes how much you can trust it.

Check: are "estimate" and "fact" distinguished in the table?

3Email (10 min)

The quality of an email draft is decided by how you explain the situation.

Give three things first — the recipient, the situation, the outcome you want.

And one rule: the draft goes only to the drafts folder. A person presses send.

Practice 3
Recipient: Manager Kim at a partner company (two weeks late replying with materials)
Situation: this is the second nudge, and the relationship must be kept
Desired outcome: a promise to reply by this Friday

Write a polite but clearly deadlined email in 5 sentences or fewer.

Check: instead of sending the draft as-is, did you verify the name, title, and deadline?

4Make the three a habit (wrap-up)

Save the three instructions you made today, and from tomorrow it's paste-and-go.

Even just these three becoming semi-automatic in a week changes how it feels — in a sales survey, automating material organizing, email, and summaries saved 12 hours a week.

But also write down where you spent the time you saved. That's the only way to prove the "AI effect."

Practice 4 — save
Add 3 to the instruction drawer:
meeting notes / report 3-way / email — each with full instruction text + cautions (double-check numbers, send it yourself)

Check: are you ready to actually use it from the next meeting note on?

When it doesn't work

With a long transcript, it seems to skim the latter partSplit it in half and run it twice, then say "merge the two tables into one" at the end. It's more accurate than feeding it all at once.
Totals or change rates are subtly offCalculation is Excel's job. Have the AI only find and organize, and double-check one total in the table yourself. "Don't calculate, just copy the original numbers as-is" also works.
I'm not sure I can put in internal materialCheck the company AI usage policy first. If there's none, make it the default to mask customer real names, contacts, and contract amounts with ○○ before entering them.
