WhatsApp Analysis Goals: Which to Use

You uploaded a WhatsApp export. Now what do you ask the AI?

The prompt you choose determines the quality of the output. A vague "summarize this" produces a vague summary. A specific goal produces actionable results.

Here is a library of proven prompts for different WhatsApp recap scenarios.

How prompts work in ThreadRecap

ThreadRecap uses goal-based analysis. Instead of writing free-form prompts, you select a goal (Summary, Action Items, Meeting Recap, etc.) and the system builds the right prompt for your chat.

But understanding what each goal does — and when to use it — helps you get better results.

General summary prompts

Goal: Summary

Best for: Getting a quick overview of any conversation.

What it produces:

• Key topics discussed
• Important decisions
• Notable moments
• Overall tone and trajectory

Use this when you just need to catch up on a chat you have been ignoring.

Action item extraction

Goal: Action Items

Best for: Work chats where people make commitments.

What it produces:

• Who committed to what
• Deadlines mentioned
• Dependencies between tasks
• Items that are still unresolved

Use this after a planning conversation or project discussion.

Meeting recap

Goal: Meeting Recap
