Use AI to create a pre-meeting intelligence brief that gives you context, talking points, and strategic insights.

Walking into a meeting cold wastes the first ten minutes while you figure out what everyone's actually talking about. Instead, give AI the meeting invite, attendee list, and any background documents, then ask it to build you a strategic brief: who the key players are, what they care about, what the real agenda probably is, and what questions you should ask or points you should make. You'll show up looking prepared even when you only had five minutes. This works especially well for recurring meetings where the context keeps shifting, or when you're joining a project midstream and need to get smart fast. AI can't read minds, but it can connect dots from the information you already have—names, roles, past emails, project updates—and package it into a format that helps you contribute meaningfully instead of just nodding along. The best part: this isn't just about looking good. It's about actually being more useful in the room because you've thought through the angles in advance. You'll catch references faster, ask better questions, and know when to speak up or stay quiet.
