AI for Meeting Preparation
The Problem
Preparing for meetings eats into productive work time. Researching attendees, reviewing past conversations, building agendas, and creating supporting materials can take 30 to 60 minutes per meeting. When you have 5+ meetings a day, preparation often gets skipped entirely.
The AI Solution
AI pulls together attendee backgrounds, past interaction history, relevant documents, and custom agendas automatically. You walk into every meeting briefed and ready to contribute without spending time on manual prep.
Before and After
Spending 45 minutes before each meeting manually researching attendees and building an agenda.
AI generates a complete briefing doc with attendee profiles and talking points in 2 minutes.
How It Works
- 1
Connect your calendar and CRM so AI knows who you are meeting and why.
- 2
AI researches each attendee using LinkedIn, company data, and your past interaction history.
- 3
A pre meeting briefing is generated with key talking points, potential questions, and relevant context.
- 4
Review the briefing 5 minutes before the meeting and add any personal notes.
- 5
After the meeting, AI captures action items and follow ups from your notes or transcript.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does AI meeting prep work for both internal and external meetings?
Yes. For internal meetings, AI pulls from project management tools and past notes. For external meetings, it focuses on attendee research and relationship history.
What if the meeting is with someone I have never met before?
AI is especially valuable for first meetings. It researches the person online, finds mutual connections, and suggests conversation starters based on their recent activity or company news.
Can AI also help during the meeting itself?
Yes. AI transcription tools like Otter.ai can capture notes in real time, flag action items, and even suggest responses to questions based on your knowledge base.
