# Meeting Prep Brief

> Walk into every meeting knowing who's there and what you want.

- Category: Productivity
- Schedule: Weekdays, 7:30 AM
- Works with: Grok Bot, Muse, Dots
- Setup time: 2 minutes
- Version: 1.0.0 (updated 2026-10-31)
- Cost: medium

## What it does

Meeting Prep Brief reads your calendar, looks up the people you're meeting, and pulls your last few emails and docs with them so you remember what was promised. It checks for recent news about their company and turns all of it into a page you can read in the two minutes before you join: the goal, three things to say, three questions to ask, and anything that could go wrong.

## What you get

- Who's attending, with role and one relevant fact
- Your last interactions and open commitments
- Recent company news with links
- Three talking points and three questions
- Logistics and conflict warnings

## Data it uses

- Google Calendar or Outlook Calendar
- Gmail or Outlook (optional)
- Google Drive or Notion (optional)
- Web search

## Safety

- Writes or sends: Read-only.
- Reads: Today's calendar events and attendee names and emails
- Reads: Recent email threads with attendees (if connected)
- Reads: Linked docs in Drive or Notion (if connected)
- Reads: Public web info about external attendees and their companies
- Cost: Medium: ~22 runs a month. Busier calendars mean more lookups per run.
- Warning: It looks up attendees on the public web; keep it to professional info.
- Warning: Briefs can include private email and doc content, so keep them in your private chat.
