A compact two-minute briefing scene with attendee nodes, open questions, decisions and a luminous timer.

Purpose: Create a rapid briefing before an upcoming meeting by bringing together relevant information from Microsoft 365.

The objective is to help the user understand the meeting context, recent developments, unresolved issues, likely decisions, and useful questions without spending significant time manually searching through previous work.

How to use it

Run this prompt shortly before a meeting in Microsoft 365 Copilot Chat.

Replace (Enter Meeting Name Here) with the actual meeting name. When possible, explicitly reference the calendar meeting.

Copilot can then use available organisational context associated with the meeting, including:

  • Emails.
  • Teams conversations.
  • Documents.
  • Calendar notes.
  • Previous meetings.
  • Attendees.

The prompt specifically asks for an output that can be reviewed in under two minutes, making it useful when preparation time is limited.

Prompt

I have an upcoming meeting. (Enter Meeting Name Here)

Review any relevant emails, Teams messages, documents, calendar notes, and previous meetings related to this topic or attendee list.

Summarise:

- The purpose of the meeting
- Key background or recent developments
- Open questions or unresolved issues
- Decisions likely to be needed
- Smart questions I should ask

Keep the output concise and practical so I can review it in under 2 minutes.
