## The prompt

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

```text
Act as my chief of staff and prepare me for today's meetings. For each meeting below, research the person and their company using public information and anything I've shared. Meetings, one per line: [YOUR MEETINGS TODAY, e.g. 10am Sam Ortiz, Fernway Dental, intro]. For each meeting, give me a short brief with: 1) who they are in two sentences, 2) what they or their company have done in the last 90 days, 3) what they probably care about most right now, 4) the one question I should open with, 5) the hardest question they might ask me and a calm, honest way to answer it, and 6) the one outcome I should aim for by the end of the call. My business in one line: [YOUR OFFER, e.g. ops coaching for dental clinics]. Keep each brief to half a page and flag anything you couldn't verify.
```

1. Paste today's meetings, or connect your calendar in Claude or ChatGPT.
