Prep me for a meeting in 5 minutes
Founder, Automation Squad
Most meeting-prep prompts just summarize — this one forces a single objective and a real objection, which is the part execs actually forget to think through beforehand. It beats winging it because the model catches contradictions in your own notes that you'd miss skimming them thirty seconds before the call.
The prompt
I have a meeting coming up and need to walk in prepared, not just informed. Paste the meeting invite details, any prior email thread, and whatever you know about the other party below. Then give me:
1. The one goal I should walk out with (pick one — not a list of three)
2. Three questions worth asking that I probably wouldn't think to ask
3. One likely objection or point of friction, and a way to handle it that doesn't sound rehearsed
4. Anything in what I pasted that contradicts itself or is worth double-checking before I bring it up
5. A single opening line — not a script, just a way to start that isn't "so, thanks for hopping on"
Don't pad this with generic meeting advice ("build rapport," "listen actively"). If you don't have enough information to answer any of the five, say so directly instead of filling the gap with something plausible-sounding.
