Use AI to compress hour-long meetings into a five-minute read before you attend.
Someone forwarded you meeting notes from a session you missed, or you're joining a recurring meeting and need to catch up fast. Reading through pages of notes takes forever, and you risk missing the parts that actually matter to your work. 1. Copy the meeting notes, transcript, or summary document. 2. Paste them into ChatGPT and ask it to pull out only what's relevant to your role or upcoming tasks. 3. Ask for a three-bullet summary: decisions made, action items assigned, and anything that directly affects your work. 4. If you're presenting or speaking in the next meeting, ask AI to flag any topics you should prepare for. 5. Save the summary in your notes so you walk into the follow-up meeting informed and ready. This works whether you missed the meeting entirely, got distracted during it, or need to catch up on a weekly sync without re-reading everything. You go from 20 minutes of review time to two minutes, and you still know exactly what matters.

Give me three bullets: decisions, actions, and prep needed.”
