Before a meeting, alfred_ pulls together what you need from your email, calendar and notes, so you walk in knowing where things stand.
What’s in a meeting brief
- Who you’re meeting: who they are, and when you last talked
- What came before: recent threads and past meetings with them
- What you owe them, and what they owe you: open asks in both directions
- What to ask: open questions worth raising
Asking for one
From Home, chat, a text, or Claude and ChatGPT:
- “Prep me for my 2pm”
- “What should I know before tomorrow’s call with Acme?”
- “Brief me on Dana before our check-in”
Prep every meeting
Turn on the Prep every meeting routine under Routines and pick how briefs arrive:
- Daily email: one email for the day’s meetings with other people, timed around your first meeting
- Before each meeting: one email about an hour before each meeting, including mail that arrived since the morning
- Both: the daily email, plus one before each meeting that leads with what changed since the morning
On the routine’s page you can see recent briefs, and prepare for your next meeting right away.
Prep works best for meetings with people you email. A meeting with no history behind it gets a shorter brief.
