Meeting Transcript Extraction Has Plateaued: Where to Improve Quality Beyond Prompt Tweaks
grantnlee · reddit · 2026-09-04
A developer describes a working pipeline that turns 1-hour meeting transcripts into extracted assertions (decisions, action items, key statements), each grounded with an exact citation from the transcript. Quality has plateaued despite prompt iteration, and he's asking for what actually worked for others.
Key questions raised:
- How to structure multiple passes — what does each pass own?
- How to split work across models (extraction vs verification vs citation checking)?
- What structural techniques beat further prompt engineering?
A practical thread for anyone building meeting-notes or information-extraction products where grounding and precision matter.
