Use AI to prepare smart questions before a meeting so you sound engaged and get the information you need.

You've been invited to a meeting about a topic you're not entirely familiar with, or you're joining a discussion where you need to contribute but don't want to sound unprepared. Walking in with a few smart, relevant questions makes you look engaged, helps you get clarity, and shows you're taking the conversation seriously. 1. Tell AI the meeting context: what it's about, who's attending, and what role you're playing. If you have an agenda or background document, share the key points. 2. Ask AI to generate 5-7 questions you could ask during the meeting—questions that show you're thinking critically, help you understand what matters, and move the conversation forward. 3. Review the list and pick 2-3 questions that feel natural for you to ask. You don't need to use them all—just having them ready makes you feel prepared and confident. 4. If any question feels too aggressive or too basic, ask AI to rewrite it in a softer or sharper tone until it sounds like something you'd actually say. 5. Keep your short list handy during the meeting. You may not use every question, but knowing you have them reduces anxiety and helps you participate more effectively.
