Meeting Intelligence

Prepares you for meetings by gathering context from Notion, enriching it with Claude research, and creating comprehensive meeting materials. Generates both an internal pre-read for attendees and an external-facing agenda for the meeting itself.

Quick Start

When asked to prep for a meeting:

1. Gather Notion context: Use Notion:notion-search to find related pages
2. Fetch details: Use Notion:notion-fetch to read relevant content
3. Enrich with research: Use Claude's knowledge to add context, industry insights, or best practices
4. Create internal pre-read: Use Notion:notion-create-pages for background context document (for attendees)
5. Create external agenda: Use Notion:notion-create-pages for meeting agenda (shared with all participants)
6. Link resources: Connect both docs to related projects and each other

Meeting Prep Workflow

Step 1: Understand meeting context

Collect meeting details:
- Meeting topic/title
- Attendees (internal team + external participants)
- Meeting purpose (decision, brainstorm, status update, customer demo, etc.)
- Meeting type (internal only vs. external participants)
- Related project/initiative
- Specific topics to cover

Step 2: Search for Notion context

Use Notion:notion-search to find:
- Project pages related to meeting topic
- Previous meeting notes

Step 3: Fetch and analyze Notion content

Step 4: Enrich with Claude research

Step 5: Create internal pre-read

Step 6: Create external agenda

See reference/template-selection-guide.md for full templates.

Step 7: Link documents

Document Types

Internal Pre-Read (for team)

More comprehensive, internal context:

• Full background and history
• Internal metrics and data
• Honest assessment of challenges
• Strategic considerations
• What we need to achieve
• Internal discussion points

When to create: Always for important meetings with internal team

External Agenda (for all participants)

Clean, professional, focused:

• Clear objectives
• Structured agenda with times
• Discussion topics
• Decision items
• Professional tone

When to create: Every meeting

Agenda Types by Meeting Purpose

Decision Meeting: Meeting Details → Objective → Options (Pros/Cons) → Recommendation → Discussion → Decision → Action Items

Status Update: Meeting Details → Project Status → Progress → Upcoming Work → Blockers → Discussion → Action Items

Customer/External: Meeting Details → Objective → Agenda Items (timed) → Discussion Topics → Next Steps

Brainstorming: Meeting Details → Objective → Constraints → Ideas → Discussion → Next Steps

See reference/template-selection-guide.md for complete templates.

Research Enrichment Patterns

Beyond Notion content, add value through Claude's capabilities:

Technical Context: Explain technologies, architectures, or approaches. Provide industry standard practices. Compare common solutions. Suggest evaluation criteria.

Business Context: Industry trends affecting topic. Competitive landscape insights. Common challenges in space. ROI considerations.

Decision Support: Decision-making frameworks (e.g., RICE, cost-benefit). Risk assessment patterns. Trade-off analysis approaches. Success criteria suggestions.

Customer Context (for external meetings): Industry-specific challenges. Common pain points. Best practices from similar companies. Value proposition framing.

Process Guidance: Meeting facilitation techniques. Discussion frameworks. Retrospective patterns. Brainstorming structures.

Note: Use general knowledge and analytical capabilities. Don't fabricate specific facts. Clearly distinguish Notion facts from Claude insights.

Meeting Context Sources

Project Pages: Status, goals, team, timelines (most important) Previous Meeting Notes: Historical discussions, action items, decisions (recurring meetings) Task/Issue Database: Current status, blockers, completed/upcoming work (project meetings) Specifications/Designs: Requirements, decisions, approach, open questions (technical meetings) Reports/Dashboards: Metrics, KPIs, performance data, trends (executive meetings)

Linking Meetings to Projects

Forward Link: Add meeting to project page's "Meetings" section Backward Link: Include "Related Project" section in agenda with project mention Maintain bidirectional links for easy navigation

Meeting Series Management

Recurring Meetings: Create series parent page with schedule, meeting notes list, standing agenda, and action items tracker. Link individual meetings to parent.

Meeting Database: For organizations, use database with properties: Meeting Title, Date, Type (Decision/Status/Brainstorm), Project, Attendees, Status (Scheduled/Completed)

Post-Meeting Actions

Update agenda with:

Decisions: List each decision with rationale and owner Action Items: Checkbox list with owner and due date (consider creating tasks in database) Key Outcomes: Bullet list of main outcomes

Meeting Prep Timing

Day-Before (next-day meetings): Gather context → create agenda → share with attendees → allow review time Hour-Before (last-minute): Quick context → brief pre-read → basic agenda → essentials only Week-Before (major meetings): Comprehensive research → detailed pre-read → structured agenda → pre-meeting reviews

Best Practices

1. Create both documents: Internal pre-read + external agenda for important meetings
2. Distinguish sources: Label what's from Notion vs. Claude research
3. Start with search: Cast wide net in Notion, then narrow
4. Keep pre-read concise: 2-3 pages maximum, even with research
5. Professional external docs: Agenda should be polished and focused
6. Enrich thoughtfully: Claude research should add real value, not fluff
7. Link documents: Pre-read mentions agenda, agenda mentions pre-read
8. Include metrics: Data from Notion helps ground discussions
9. Share appropriately: Pre-read to internal team, agenda to all participants
10. Share early: Give attendees time to review (24hr+ for important meetings)
11. Update post-meeting: Capture decisions and actions in agenda

Advanced Features

Meeting templates: See reference/template-selection-guide.md for comprehensive template library

Common Issues

"Too much context": Split into pre-read (internal, comprehensive) and agenda (external, focused) "Can't find relevant pages": Broaden search, try different terms, ask user for page URLs "Meeting purpose unclear": Ask user to clarify before proceeding "No recent updates": Note that in pre-read, focus on historical context and strategic considerations "External meeting - no internal context": Create simpler structure with just agenda, skip internal pre-read or keep it minimal "Claude research too generic": Focus on specific insights relevant to the actual meeting topic, not general platitudes
