Who this is for
Event and wedding planners who carry the day-of timeline in their head and need it on paper, with owners, for the whole team.
The moment this saves you
Hair and makeup at nine, ceremony at four sharp, the room flip during cocktail hour, sparkler exit at eleven, and right now this entire timeline only exists in my head where one slip throws off everything after it.
See it work
Messy spoken thought in. A clean, structured artifact out.
Okay day of, hair and makeup starts nine am, first look at one, ceremony's at four sharp, cocktail hour four thirty while we flip the room, grand entrance six, first dance right after, dinner six thirty, toasts during dinner keep them short, cake cutting eight, last dance ten thirty, sparkler exit eleven, vendors loaded out by midnight.

The prompt behind this context
I'm going to talk through the timeline for an event day. Turn it into a run-of-show. Output a markdown table with columns Time, Beat, and Owner or cue, one row per item in time order, using the responsible party I name or a sensible owner from what I say. After the table, add a Hard deadlines line listing any times I flag as fixed. Keep every time exactly as I say it, use only the beats I actually mention, never invent an event, a time, or an owner I did not state. Output only the run-of-show, no preamble.
Make it your own. This is a starting point. Once it's in Contextli, tweak the instructions so the output comes out exactly how you like it.

Wedding Wishlist Note
The couple's vision comes out as an emotional flood, and the must-haves versus the hard nos are exactly what you cannot get wrong. Speak it into a clean brief with the vibe, the budget signals, the stakeholders, and the dietary notes.
Vendor Call Note
You are juggling fifteen vendors, and the verbal quote plus the deposit terms blur together across a day of calls. Speak the vendor's availability, price, and what's included right after, so nothing about the agreement gets fuzzy.
Meeting Prep Note
You walk into meetings reactive, let them sprawl, and leave without the one thing you needed. Before it starts, say what you want out of it and the points to hit. You get a tight agenda and a clear goal, so the meeting serves you instead of just happening to you.
Questions people ask
Questions event planners ask about Run-of-Show Note
What is the best way to take meeting notes without missing anything?
The most effective approach is a two-step method: be fully present during the meeting, then speak a structured voice summary immediately afterward while the conversation is fresh. The Run-of-Show Note context converts your spoken debrief into a meeting note with attendees, decisions, and next steps. You get clean notes in under two minutes without having typed or recorded the live meeting.
How do I take meeting notes by voice without a recording bot?
After the meeting ends, open Contextli and select the Run-of-Show Note context. Speak a 60 to 90 second summary covering what was discussed, any decisions, and the agreed next steps. The context formats your words into a clean meeting note ready to share. No bot joins the call, nothing is recorded without consent, and no third-party service sees the conversation.
What should meeting notes include?
Good notes cover the date and attendees, a brief context statement, the key points discussed, any decisions made, and the action items with owners and due dates. The Run-of-Show Note context structures your spoken summary into exactly these sections, so you produce consistent notes every time without remembering the format.
How do I share meeting notes quickly after a call?
Dictate your summary into Contextli using the Run-of-Show Note context immediately after the call. The structured output is plain text you can paste into Slack, Notion, or email in one step. Most people go from "call ended" to "notes shared" in under three minutes.
How do I add this context to Contextli?
Copy the context on this page, then open Contextli and go to the Contexts page. Click Import, choose From JSON, paste it into the Import from Clipboard window, and click Import Context. It is ready to use in under 30 seconds. If you do not have Contextli yet, you can download it for free first.
Is my voice recording private? Does Contextli send it anywhere?
Your voice recording and the transcription are stored on your device only. Contextli processes your audio locally and does not send your recordings or transcription text to any server. The structured output it produces is text you control, and you decide where it goes.
Can I change what the output looks like?
Yes. Every context in Contextli is a starting point you can edit. Open the context in the app, change the instructions to adjust the structure, tone, or fields, and save. The next time you use it, the output reflects your changes. You are not locked into the default format.
Do I need to install an app to use this context?
Yes. Contextli is a free app. Download it, then copy this context and paste it into the Import from Clipboard window on the Contexts page. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
