AI Productivity Agent in n8n: Turn the voice note into tasks When a meeting request comes in by email and Post It to Slack
An n8n workflow that fires when a meeting request comes in by email, then an AI agent transcribes the note and extracts action items as tasks — giving you voice notes turned into a to-do list. No code: import the JSON, connect your apps, and it runs 24/7.

Frequently asked questions
Can I trust the AI to get the tasks right?
The prompt is tightly scoped to one job and you can add a human-approval step in n8n before anything is sent or published. Start with review-mode for a week, and once you trust the output, switch it to fully automatic.
Does this need n8n Cloud or can I self-host?
Either works. The workflow is a standard n8n export, so you can run it on n8n Cloud or on your own self-hosted instance — you only connect your own app credentials.
How do I import the workflow into n8n?
Download the JSON, then in n8n open a new workflow, choose ⋯ → Import from file, and select it. Every trigger, node and connection appears on the canvas; you just add your credentials and activate it.
