- Never walk into a meeting unprepared again. Your agent researches all attendees before calendar events—pulling LinkedIn profiles, recent company news, mutual connections, and conversation starters. Generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context so you show up informed and confident. Triggered automatically before meetings or on-demand. Configure research depth, advance timing, and output format. Walking into meetings blind is amateur hour—missed connections, generic small talk, zero leverage. Use when setting up meeting intelligence, researching specific attendees, generating pre-meeting briefs, or automating your prep workflow.

Meeting Prep — Never Walk In Blind
Walking into meetings unprepared is amateur hour.
You're juggling back-to-back calls, no time to research who's in the room. You default to generic small talk. You miss the fact that the VP you're pitching used to work at your dream client. You didn't see the news that their company just raised $50M. You fumble the connection.
Meeting Prep fixes this. Your agent researches every attendee before you join—LinkedIn profiles, company intel, recent news, mutual connections, conversation hooks. It generates a briefing doc with talking points, icebreakers, and context. You walk in informed, confident, and ready to connect.
What It Does
- Auto-triggers before calendar events (configurable advance time)
- Researches attendees: LinkedIn profiles, role, background, recent activity
- Company intelligence: Recent news, funding, product launches, leadership changes
- Connection mapping: Mutual contacts, shared interests, conversation hooks
- Generates brief: Clean, scannable doc with talking points and icebreakers
- On-demand mode: Research specific people or meetings instantly
The difference: Most meeting tools focus on *agendas*. Meeting Prep focuses on *people*. Know who you're talking to before you open your mouth.
Setup
- Run
scripts/setup.shto initialize config and brief storage - Edit
~/.config/meeting-prep/config.jsonwith calendar settings and research preferences - Ensure
gogskill is installed (for Google Calendar integration) - Test with:
scripts/prep.sh "meeting-id-or-attendee-email" --dry-run
Config
Config lives at ~/.config/meeting-prep/config.json. See config.example.json for full schema.
Key sections:
- calendar — Which calendars to monitor, event filters, advance notice
- research — Depth level (quick/standard/deep), data sources, focus areas
- output — Format (markdown/text/telegram), delivery channel, storage location
- auto_prep — Enable/disable automatic prep, time thresholds, event criteria
- icebreakers — Tone preferences (professional/casual/witty), topic priorities
Scripts
| Script | Purpose |
|---|---|
scripts/setup.sh | Initialize config and brief directories |
scripts/prep.sh | Research attendees for a specific meeting (on-demand) |
scripts/auto-prep.sh | Check upcoming calendar events and prep meetings that qualify |
scripts/brief.sh | Output formatted briefing doc for a meeting |
All scripts support --dry-run for testing without actually generating briefs.
Auto-Prep Workflow
Run scripts/auto-prep.sh on schedule (cron every 2-4h recommended). The workflow:
- Fetches upcoming calendar events (next 24-48h based on config)
- Filters for events matching criteria (external attendees, duration >15min, etc.)
- Checks if already prepped (dedup against brief history)
- Researches each attendee: web search for LinkedIn, company site, recent news
- Generates briefing doc with sections: Attendees, Company Context, Talking Points, Icebreakers
- Stores brief and optionally delivers to configured channel

- No stalking: Only preps for confirmed calendar events or explicit requests
- Opt-out friendly: Skip specific events by adding
#noprepto event description - Transparent: Briefs cite sources; you see what the agent found
Pro Tips
- Set advance time wisely: 2-4 hours before works well (too early = stale, too late = useless)
- Customize icebreakers: Adjust tone in config (corporate vs startup vs casual)
- Review briefs: Agent does the research, you add the human touch
- Feedback loop: Mark what worked in briefs to improve future prep
- Combine with agenda tools: Use Fellow/Hypercontext for *what* to discuss, Meeting Prep for *who* you're discussing with
