Use AI to create a list of smart questions to ask before a meeting so you look engaged and prepared.

Walking into a meeting cold can leave you scrambling to contribute or follow along. Instead, give AI a quick summary of the meeting topic or agenda, and ask it to generate thoughtful questions you might want to ask. These could be clarifying questions, strategic questions, or ones that show you're thinking ahead. Review the list, pick a few that feel relevant, and you'll walk in looking engaged and ready to participate—even if you only had five minutes to prepare. This works especially well when you're joining a project update, a brainstorming session, or a meeting where you're not the main decision-maker but still want to add value. You're not faking it—you're using AI to help you think more strategically in less time. Bonus: Asking good questions early in a meeting often saves everyone time and prevents confusion later.
