Use AI to prepare a pre-meeting briefing so you walk in informed and ready to contribute.

1. Copy the meeting invite details into ChatGPT — the agenda, attendees, any attached documents or background info you have. If there's no formal agenda, just paste the subject line and any context from the email thread. 2. Ask AI to create a briefing document that includes: what this meeting is probably about, what decisions might be made, what questions you should be ready to answer, and what information you should review beforehand. 3. Review the output and ask follow-up questions if needed — for example, 'What background should I have on this project?' or 'What are common objections that might come up about this topic?' 4. Use the briefing to actually prepare: skim the documents AI flagged, think through your position on key points, jot down one or two questions or contributions you want to make. 5. Walk into the meeting with a clear sense of what matters, what you need to say, and what you need to listen for. You'll spend less time confused and more time adding value.
