Meeting prep
alfred_ prepares a brief before each meeting — who's attending, recent context, what's likely to come up.
Before each meeting, alfred_ pulls together everything it knows about the people and topic — so you walk in informed without having to dig.
What’s in a meeting brief
For a typical brief, alfred_ surfaces:
- Who’s attending — names, roles, last interaction
- Recent threads — emails between you and attendees in the past 30 days
- Open promises — anything you said you’d bring or follow up on
- Open asks — anything attendees asked of you that’s still outstanding
- Past meetings — notes from prior sessions if you’ve taken any
- Linked context — tasks, kanban cards, or notes mentioning the same people / project
When briefs are generated
- Automatically — for any meeting in your “important meetings” list (calculated from attendee VIP status, meeting duration, and history)
- On-demand — “prep me for my 3pm with Acme”, “what should I know before tomorrow’s standup?”
Where the brief shows up
- Email — sent to your inbox 15–30 minutes before (configurable)
- SMS — short version texted just before
- Web Chat — ask any time, even mid-meeting
Asking for a brief
- “Prep me for the 3pm”
- “What should I know about the Acme call tomorrow?”
- “Brief me on John before our 1:1”
- “Pull together everything you know about our project with Sarah”
When briefs aren’t useful
For internal standups, recurring 1:1s with people you talk to constantly, or low-stakes meetings — briefs add noise. You can disable auto-briefing for specific recurring events or meeting series in Settings → Calendar → Auto-prep.
