I uploaded a six-month-old transcript from a client consult and got a complete Notion project dashboard in about eight seconds.
Every action item, every room, every design direction we discussed — colour-coded, categorised, with checkboxes and notes. I hadn't touched the output. It just built it.
This is for you if you finish a site visit, come home, and three weeks later you're trying to remember whether the client wanted warm oak or white oak on the joinery. This is not a client-facing tool. It lives entirely behind the scenes — your own running record of every promise you made in that room.
You need: a transcript, Claude connected to Notion, and one prompt. That's it. Four steps.
The full instructions are in the comments — grab them, try it today.
