Use AI to create a list of helpful context and background before you join an unfamiliar meeting.
Ever been invited to a meeting where you don't know the full backstory, the key players, or what's really at stake? You can use AI to prepare a quick briefing for yourself. Just paste in the meeting invite, any related emails, or even a rough description of what you know so far, and ask AI to help you identify what context you're missing and what you should understand before walking in. You'll show up better informed, ask smarter questions, and avoid that awkward moment where everyone assumes you already know something important. It's like having a colleague give you the inside scoop before the meeting starts.

Create a short briefing that explains: 1) What this meeting is likely about, 2) Key background or context I should know, 3) Who the main stakeholders probably are, and 4) Questions I might want to ask or clarify during the meeting.”
