Ten Minutes, Three Artifacts
Most meetings are won or lost in the ten minutes before they start. A short AI ritual produces three things every time: a one-page brief, three smart questions you could ask, and a cheat sheet of names and numbers.
The ritual
- 1Open a fresh Claude chat or a project for this stakeholder
- 2Paste the last email thread and the last meeting's notes
- 3Paste their LinkedIn bio and their company's latest press release
- 4Ask for the three artifacts below
One prompt, three artifacts. Paste it into a Project and you'll reuse it dozens of times a quarter.
Based on the context above, produce:
1) A 6-line brief:
- Who they are, what they care about, and where we left off.
- Their likely goal for this meeting.
- Any risk or sensitivity I should handle gently.
2) Three questions I could ask that show I did my homework
and move the conversation forward.
3) A cheat sheet: 5 names, 5 numbers, 5 acronyms from the
materials, each with a one-line definition.Compare the options
| Artifact | When it saves you |
|---|---|
| 6-line brief | Opening small talk and the first 5 minutes |
| Three smart questions | When the meeting lulls and someone needs to drive |
| Cheat sheet | When they mention an acronym and you can nod intelligently |
Key terms in this lesson
The big idea: ten minutes of AI prep beats an hour of scrolling. Make it a ritual and you'll walk into every meeting as the most prepared person there, without working later or worrying harder.
