## The prompt

Fill in the parts in [square brackets], or leave them and the AI will ask you for them.

```text
Research my history with [CLIENT NAME, e.g. my longest-running client] using my Gmail and Google Drive only. Their emails come from [EMAIL DOMAIN, e.g. @theircompany.com].

Build a report with:
1. A dated timeline: first contact, proposals, signed work, deliveries, invoices mentioned, and key conversations.
2. What I promised and whether each promise was delivered, with links to the source.
3. Their goals, worries and preferences in their own words.
4. Open items: anything unanswered, unpaid or unfinished.
5. Three talking points for my next conversation about [NEXT CONVERSATION, e.g. renewing for another year].

Only use what's in my files. Mark anything you're unsure about, and leave out personal details unrelated to our work.
```

## Step by step

1. Open Gemini on a computer, pick Deep Research from Tools, and choose Gmail and Drive as sources.
2. Paste the prompt with the client's name and email domain.
3. Review the research plan Gemini shows you, then start it.
4. Export the report to Google Docs and double-check any claim that matters.
