How I turn 1 meeting into 10 assets, saving me hours every week
Published 5 months ago • 3 min read
Welcome back to Watch Me AI
In this week’s issue:
For your business: My exact process for turning one transcript into proposals, posts, and products—saving 3+ hours of writing time per meeting.
For your friends/family: How I used Gemini and Nano Banana to create the most meaningful (and personalized) gift you can give this season.
Turning Meeting Transcripts into Assets

Most people view meetings as a necessary evil—a time cost that keeps them from doing “real work.”
But what if the meeting was the work?
This week, I want to share the highest-leverage workflow currently running in my business. It’s a mindset shift that transforms a 30-minute Zoom call from a calendar block into a content engine.
The Problem: The “Post-Meeting” Slump
Usually, you finish a great call with a client or team member. You have incredible ideas, clear decisions, and a lot of energy. Then you hang up.
Now comes the hard part: You have to write the follow-up email, the proposal, the action plan, and ideally the LinkedIn post about the insight you just shared. Suddenly, that 30-minute meeting has created three hours of manual writing work.
The Solution: The Transcript as “Draft Zero”
The most efficient way to write is to speak. Humans can speak roughly 150 words per minute, but most of us type significantly slower than that.
When you record and transcribe a meeting, you aren’t just creating a record; you are generating thousands of words of raw material. I no longer look at a transcript as a simple record. I look at it as a Draft Zero for almost every asset my business needs.
The Workflow
Here is the process I use to turn one conversation into multiple deliverables without typing from scratch:
Record & Transcribe: I use Granola to capture the full transcript from my meetings.
Identify the Asset: I decide what I need (Proposal? Workshop outline? Blog post?).
The Single Prompt: I paste the transcript into my LLM of choice with one specific instruction to reformat that raw text into a polished final product.
Because the AI has the full context of the conversation—the specific details discussed, the client’s objections, the agreed upon plan—the output is 90% ready to go.
Get the Prompts
I’ve put together a Meeting-to-Asset Prompt Sheet. It includes the exact copy-and-paste prompts I use to turn transcripts into proposals, courses, guides, and more.
The prompts will help you write the content. But the Playbook installs the system so the content writes itself automatically every time you finish a call.
I am currently offering Early Bird pricing for newsletter subscribers only. This offer is only available in December.
The Best Holiday Gift: The Neighborhood Squad Book
Now, let’s switch gears. We use AI to save time at work so we can do magical things in our personal lives.
For the holidays this year, I decided to create a custom children’s book for my daughter and her four best friends in the neighborhood.
I used Gemini to write a story where all five kids (by name) go on an adventure through our specific neighborhood, and I used Nano Banana to generate consistent character illustrations for each of them.

How I did it
Here is the exact workflow I used to make this happen:
The Script (Gemini): I told Gemini I wanted an adventure story set in our neighborhood starring five toddlers. I fed it their names and one defining quirk for each child to personalize the plot. It took time to get the plot to a version I liked.
The Art (Nano Banana Pro): I then focused on nailing the “fairytale-esque” style for the first image. For every subsequent page, I instructed the AI to maintain that exact style and character set while referencing the specific text for that scene.
The Assembly (Shutterfly): Once I was happy with the script and the visuals, I dropped them into a standard photo book layout and hit publish.
It is a beautiful gift, so personalized, and a true keepsake.
It did take time to create—about six hours, because I was being meticulous with the details. But it is relatively affordable ($30 per hardcover book on Shutterfly).
Know another parent who needs a holiday gift miracle? Forward this email to them so they can be the hero of their neighborhood, too.
And if you end up making one, send me a screenshot! I’d love to see what you create, and I’m happy to share more about mine.
