Meeting Brief

The Meeting Brief is a routine your Townie AI assistant runs before your meetings: it reads the attendee list, your email history, past meeting notes, and recent company news, then sends a short prep note ahead of the calls that deserve one.

To: your Townie

Subject: Set up my Meeting Brief

Build me a routine that gets me into every meeting that matters already briefed — who's in the room, our history, and the one thing I should raise.

Run it ahead of each meeting that deserves prep — external, first-time, high-stakes. Skip internal standups and the 1:1s I run on autopilot.

For each one:
- Research the attendees: who they are, my email history with them, and their company's recent news.
- Pull what we promised each other last time from past threads and meeting notes — open items first.
- Note anything new since we last spoke: a role change, an announcement, a thread they're waiting on.

Send a short prep note that leads with the one thing I should say or ask, then who's in the room, then the context — timed to land shortly before the call, not buried hours early.

My default: research and brief on your own; never contact an attendee or touch the calendar.

If I already have a routine that does this job — it comes with my account — don't create a duplicate. Use this as guidance to personalize the existing routine, tailored to the tools I actually use and what you know about me, and ask me anything that would make it stronger.

Sent when you sign up — works as-is, or edit anything.

Meeting Brief FAQ

Town only reads the accounts you connect, access is scoped to you, and nothing external happens without your approval. Read more in our security overview.

You decide. Most people start with external and first-time meetings and skip internal standups — tell your assistant the split you want and it applies from the next meeting on.
