A simple meeting notes template for everyday meetings: a one-line summary, the key points, what was decided and what happens next. Lighter than formal minutes, so you can actually keep it up meeting after meeting. Paste it into Notion, download it for Word or Google Docs, or copy the Markdown.
Free to use and adapt, no signup. The .docx opens in Word, Pages and Google Docs (File → Open → Upload).
Meeting: [Name] Date: [Date]
Attendees: [Names]
Purpose: [Why this meeting is happening, in one line]
[One or two sentences on the outcome]
Wave AI's free meeting minutes generator transcribes the recording with speaker labels and fills in this structure for you: attendees, discussion, decisions and action items with owners. You can also paste a transcript from Zoom, Teams or Google Meet. No account needed.
Paste this into a Notion page and the headings, lists, checkboxes and tables become Notion blocks. It also works in Obsidian, GitHub, Confluence and any Markdown editor.

Minutes are the official record: attendance, agenda, decisions and action items, written to be filed and shared. Notes are lighter and usually informal: the key points and next steps. If your meeting needs a record, use the meeting minutes template instead.
Copy the Notion-friendly Markdown on this page and paste it into a Notion page. Headings, bullets and the checklist convert to Notion blocks automatically. Duplicate the page for each meeting, or save it as a database template.
Write down outcomes, not a transcript: the decisions, the open questions and who is doing what. Keep bullets short and specific, and send the notes the same day. If you'd rather take part in the meeting than type, record it and let AI draft the notes.
Yes. Upload the recording to Wave's free meeting minutes generator and pick "Simple notes". You get the summary, key points, decisions and next steps in this structure, ready to copy or download.
