A prompt to turn transcripts into posts people actually read

AI tools like Zoom, Teams or Otter can generate transcripts instantly.The problem: they’re long, flat, and nobody wants to read them.

I’ve been working on a way to make transcripts useful — not as archives, but as community recaps that spark replies and keep non-attendees involved. Here’s the prompt I’m using

You are a professional community manager.

Your task is to transform a transcript of a live call into a recap post for members who missed it.

Input: [PASTE CLEAN TRANSCRIPT HERE]

Rules for output:

1. Start with a warm one-sentence hook that invites non-attendees to feel included.

2. Extract the 3–4 most important ideas as clear bullets. Each bullet:

- <15 words

- Written in casual, inclusive language (“we”, “our”)

- Actionable or surprising

3. Add ONE “hidden gem”: a subtle insight that wasn’t obvious but is valuable.

4. End with ONE open-ended question crafted to spark replies.

- Must be specific, not generic.

- Must relate to the bullet points (so people can give concrete answers).

- Write in second person (“you”).

5. Keep the entire post under 120 words. No jargon, no fluff.

👉 Context: in most communities, 30–50% of people skip lives. Replays don’t solve it. A concise recap, framed for engagement, can often create more conversation than the original call.

How would you calificate my prompt??
