AI prompt to turn voice memos into organized notes
Email, data entry, reports and planning take up a large share of an agent's week. AI can draft, summarize and organize that work, and specialized tools can pull data from documents and keep client records tidy.
Below is a ready-to-copy prompt to turn voice memos into organized notes, a detailed version that asks you clarifying questions first, and 6 specialized AI tools (Otter.ai, Fathom, Fireflies.ai, tl;dv, Jump and Zocks) with instructions for this task. It also works in ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Copilot.
The prompt
Turn this transcript of my voice memo into organized notes with action items and a to-do list. Remove any client names before pasting: [paste]
Detailed version (asks clarifying questions first)
Act as an experienced assistant to a licensed insurance agent. Before answering, ask me up to 3 clarifying questions (your goal, the format you want and the tools you already use). Then complete this task, and finish with a short checklist of statements I should verify with my compliance team. Task: Turn this transcript of my voice memo into organized notes with action items and a to-do list. Remove any client names before pasting: [paste]
What a good result looks like
A good result turns a rambling voice memo into tidy notes: a short summary, clear action items with due dates, and a to-do list you can drop into your calendar or CRM. Nothing important from the memo should be lost.
Common mistakes and watch-outs
Remove client names and details before pasting a transcript into a general AI tool. Transcription can mishear numbers and names, so check dates and amounts. Otter.ai and similar tools should be approved by your agency before recording anything client-related.
How to adapt the prompt
Ask for the output in the format you use: CRM activity notes, an email to your assistant, or a checklist. For memos after client meetings, add headings for coverages discussed and follow-ups.
From voice memo - [Date] Summary: Drove back from the [Town] networking breakfast. Two possible referral partners; need to update the renewal checklist. Action items: - Email [Partner A] (realtor) to set coffee - by [Day] - Send [Partner B] our COI request process - by [Day] - Update 60-day renewal checklist with roof questions - by [Day] To-do: [ ] Partner A email [ ] Partner B email [ ] Checklist update
