Convert Meeting Notes (text) to Task rows

[Andrew_Farnsworth]

Update: I rebuilt this with Coda AI to create task rows from meeting notes. Check out the full build vid here to see how I made it.

I’ve documented the process I use to extract structured data from unstructured data (think tasks from meeting notes).

In this use case, a single button push pulls jobs from a block of resume text to populate a career timeline, extracting type, dates, and description.

In the post I break the solution down into its process steps:

1. paste the source text into a column
2. extract the names of things
3. create rows with those names
4. populate each row with relevant info from the source text
5. merge 2 through 4 into a single user action

I rely heavily on a basic OpenAI pack I built to do the heavy lifting. I use gpt-4o for the model, and the cost to perform all building and testing for this build came out to $0 — pretty good value.

Happy to answer any questions about the process!
