Your first AI prompts

Paste these into Claude, Cursor or Lovable, in order. Check that each one works before moving on.

PROMPT 1 OF 3

Build a web app called Board Minutes Maker. An organization signs up and adds its name, members list and a default minutes template. The main screen lists past meetings with date and status (draft, approved).

PROMPT 2 OF 3

Let the secretary upload an audio file for a meeting. Transcribe it with an AI speech model, then ask an AI model to produce minutes JSON: attendees, call to order time, reports, motions with mover, seconder and vote result, action items with owner and due date, and adjournment time. Show an editor to review.
