Use AI to prepare a pre-meeting brief so you show up informed and confident.
You've got a meeting in an hour and barely know what it's about. Maybe it's with a new client, a cross-functional team, or about a project you've only been cc'd on. Instead of walking in cold, paste what little information you have into ChatGPT and ask it to create a quick prep brief. The AI will help you identify what's probably going to be discussed, what questions you should be ready to answer, what context matters most, and what you might want to clarify. It's like having a colleague give you the rundown before you step into the room. This works especially well for recurring meetings where the topic shifts weekly, stakeholder meetings where you need to sound informed fast, or any situation where you don't have time to read through all the background material but still need to contribute meaningfully.

Create a short prep brief for me: what will likely be discussed, what I should be ready to talk about, what questions I might get asked, and anything I should clarify or confirm during the meeting.”
