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:

• Gather Notion context: Use Notion:notion-search to find related pages

• Fetch details: Use Notion:notion-fetch to read relevant content

• Enrich with research: Use Claude's knowledge to add context, industry insights, or best practices

• Create internal pre-read: Use Notion:notion-create-pages for background context document (for attendees)

• Create external agenda: Use Notion:notion-create-pages for meeting agenda (shared with all participants)

• 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
• Specifications or design docs
• Related tasks or issues
• Recent updates or reports
• Customer/partner information (if applicable)

Search strategies:

• Topic-based: "mobile app redesign"
• Project-scoped: search within project teamspace
• Attendee-created: filter by created_by_user_ids
• Recent updates: use created_date_range filters

Step 3: Fetch and analyze Notion content

For each relevant page:

1. Fetch with Notion:notion-fetch
2. Extract key information:
   • Project status and timeline
   • Recent decisions and updates
   • Open questions or blockers
   • Relevant metrics or data
   • Action items from previous meetings
3. Note gaps in information

Step 4: Enrich with Claude research

Beyond Notion context, add value through:

For technical meetings:

• Explain complex concepts for broader audience
• Summarize industry best practices
• Provide competitive context
• Suggest discussion frameworks

For customer meetings:

• Research company background (if public info)
• Industry trends relevant to discussion
• Common pain points in their sector
• Best practices for similar customers

For decision meetings:

• Decision-making frameworks
• Risk analysis patterns
• Trade-off considerations
• Implementation best practices

Note: Use general knowledge only - don't fabricate specific facts

Step 5: Create internal pre-read

Use Notion:notion-create-pages for internal doc:

Title: "[Meeting Topic] - Pre-Read (Internal)"

Content structure:

• Meeting Overview: Date, time, attendees, purpose
• Background Context:
  • What this meeting is about (2-3 sentences)
  • Why it matters (business context)
  • Links to related Notion pages
• Current Status:
  • Where we are now (from Notion content)
  • Recent updates and progress
  • Key metrics or data
• Context & Insights (from Claude research):
  • Industry context or best practices
  • Relevant considerations
  • Potential approaches to discuss
• Key Discussion Points:
  • Topics that need airtime
  • Open questions to resolve
  • Decisions required
• What We Need from This Meeting:
  • Expected outcomes
  • Decisions to make
  • Next steps to define

Audience: Internal attendees only Purpose: Give team full context and alignment before meeting

Step 6: Create external agenda

Use Notion:notion-create-pages for meeting doc:

Title: "[Meeting Topic] - Agenda"

Content structure:

• Meeting Details: Date, time, attendees
• Objective: Clear meeting goal (1-2 sentences)
• Agenda Items (with time allocations):
  1. Topic 1 (10 min)
  2. Topic 2 (20 min)
  3. Topic 3 (15 min)
• Discussion Topics:
  • Key items to cover
  • Questions to answer
• Decisions Needed:
  • Clear decision points
• Action Items:
  • (To be filled during meeting)
• Related Resources:
  • Links to relevant pages
  • Link to pre-read document

Audience: All participants (internal + external) Purpose: Structure the meeting, keep it on track Tone: Professional, focused, clear

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

Step 7: Link documents

1. Link pre-read to agenda:

   • Add mention in agenda: "See <mention-page>Pre-Read</mention-page> for background"

2. Link both to project:

   • Update project page with meeting links
   • Add to "Meetings" section

3. Cross-reference:

   • Agenda mentions pre-read for internal attendees
   • Pre-read mentions agenda for meeting structure

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

• Create both documents: Internal pre-read + external agenda for important meetings

• Distinguish sources: Label what's from Notion vs. Claude research

• Start with search: Cast wide net in Notion, then narrow

• Keep pre-read concise: 2-3 pages maximum, even with research

• Professional external docs: Agenda should be polished and focused

• Enrich thoughtfully: Claude research should add real value, not fluff

• Link documents: Pre-read mentions agenda, agenda mentions pre-read

• Include metrics: Data from Notion helps ground discussions

• Share appropriately: Pre-read to internal team, agenda to all participants

• Share early: Give attendees time to review (24hr+ for important meetings)

• Update post-meeting: Capture decisions and actions in agenda

Advanced Features

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
