Hi! Let's Turn a Meeting Into a To-Do List.

I'm Skits, and I work with Jerry over at Shared Knowledge Technical Solutions. You just walked out of a meeting. Everybody agreed to do things — and by tomorrow, half of it will be a blur and nobody's quite sure who owns what. Sound familiar?

In about 12 minutes I'll show you how to hand a meeting to a free tool called Google Gemini and get back a clean, tidy summary — with a checklist of action items and who is responsible for each one. No new software to buy, no jargon. Real steps you can copy and paste. Let's introduce ourselves first.

Here's What You'll Walk Away With

By the end of this course you'll be able to take a rambling meeting and turn it into something like this — in under a minute:

Your finished result

Summary: The team agreed to launch the new flyer by month-end and follow up with three vendors.

Action items:

☐ Finalize the flyer design — Maria

☐ Call the three vendors for quotes — James

☐ Book the print order once quotes are in — You

A clean summary. A checklist. A name on every task. That's the whole goal — and Gemini does the heavy lifting.

First, Meet Gemini

Google Gemini is Google's free AI assistant. If you have a Google account — a Gmail address counts — you already have access. There's nothing to install.

Open it now (in a new tab)

1. Go to gemini.google.com

2. Sign in with your Google (Gmail) account if it asks.

3. You'll see a box at the bottom that says something like “Ask Gemini.” That box is where all the magic happens — you type or paste into it, just like sending a text.

Skits' Tip

Talking to Gemini is just typing a plain-English request — no special commands. If you can text a coworker “can you summarize this for me?”, you already know how to use it.

Before we dig in — what kind of meetings are we taming?

No wrong answer. It just tells me which examples to lean on as we go.

That's the setup.

You know what you're building (a summary with named action items), and you've got Gemini open and ready. Next up: getting your meeting into Gemini in the first place — the easy way, straight from a recording on your phone.
