Use AI to create a backup plan for your meeting in case the discussion goes off track.
You've prepped your agenda, but meetings rarely go exactly as planned. Someone raises an unexpected objection. A key stakeholder changes direction mid-conversation. The group gets stuck debating one small point. Instead of scrambling in the moment, use AI before the meeting to prepare quick pivots and responses. Give AI your agenda and ask it to generate alternative talking points, counterarguments to common objections, or ways to redirect the conversation if it stalls. You'll walk in with a mental backup plan that keeps you confident and adaptable, no matter what curveballs come up. It takes two minutes before the meeting and saves you from awkward silences or losing control of the room.
