Meeting prep with Claude — 15 minutes to a better meeting.
Pull from past Gmail, Calendar, and Drive. Three facts, two questions, one answer. Repeatable.
Overview
The 15-minute pre-meeting prep is the highest-leverage 90 seconds of your day. It changes how you show up, what you ask, and what the other side remembers about the conversation.
The prompt
"I have a meeting with [person] at [time] about [topic]. Pull from past emails with them, calendar events that mention them, and Drive docs about them or the topic. Give me: 3 facts I should remember; 2 questions I should ask; what they're likely to ask me, with my 1-line answer."
What changes in the meeting
You reference specifics from past conversations the other side has forgotten. You ask better questions because you know what they care about. You're not caught off-guard by the obvious ask.
The other side leaves the meeting thinking you're prepared and thoughtful. Often you'll get more time, a better deal, or the next meeting booked on the spot.
Make it a habit
Set a Google Calendar reminder 20 minutes before every meeting that's tagged as important. The reminder text is just the prompt — paste, run, read the briefing, walk in.
