Executive Summary
This workflow turns meeting prep from something you do (or skip) into something that already happened by the time you check your calendar.
It uses Claude Cowork’s scheduled tasks to pull from your calendar, email, and CRM or notes on a fixed cadence, and produce a per-meeting brief plus a drafted, unsent follow-up.
The core insight isn’t “use AI to summarize a person,” it’s grounding the brief in your own private history instead of public information, and running it before you’d ever remember to ask.
Setup takes about 20 to 30 minutes, most of it spent writing and testing one prompt.
The same architecture extends to weekly client digests, investor updates, and account reviews once the base version is working.
