weekly-prep-brief FAQ

What if I don't have my calendar connected?

You can manually provide your meeting list in freeform text (company name, date/time, attendee names), and the skill will parse it and proceed with research.

How does the skill decide what's 'noteworthy' news?

Only findings that are genuinely significant—funding announcements, leadership changes, major press—are included. Generic news is filtered out to keep the brief concise and actionable.

What happens if Common Room has limited data on a meeting?

The skill uses a compressed 'sparse-data' format for that meeting instead of fabricating details, noting what data is actually available and suggesting you check Common Room directly.

How long does it take to generate a weekly brief?

Typically 5–10 minutes for 4–6 meetings, depending on the depth of available research and number of attendees per meeting.

Can I customize the meeting list or exclude certain calls?

Yes. The skill presents the identified meetings for your confirmation before running research, so you can remove internal meetings or cancelled calls.

Weekly Prep Brief

Generate a single comprehensive weekly briefing that covers every external customer or prospect call in the next 7 days, with per-meeting account and contact research from Common Room.

Briefing Process

Step 1: Get the Week's External Meetings

Option A — Calendar connected: Use the ~~calendar connector to fetch all meetings scheduled in the next 7 days (or a user-specified range). Filter to keep only external meetings — those with attendees from outside your organization. Discard internal-only meetings, one-on-ones with colleagues, and recurring internal syncs.

Identify for each external meeting:

  • Company name
  • Meeting date and time
  • External attendee names and email addresses

Option B — No calendar connected: Ask the user: "To build your weekly prep brief, I'll need your upcoming external calls. Please list them: company name, date/time, and attendee names."

Accept freeform input and parse it into a structured list before proceeding.

Step 2: Confirm the Meeting List

Present the identified meetings to the user for confirmation before beginning research:

"Here are the external calls I found for this week. Let me know if anything's missing or should be excluded:

  • [Company] — [Day], [Time] — [Attendees]
  • ..."

This prevents wasted research on cancelled or incorrect meetings.

Step 3: Research Each Meeting

For each confirmed external meeting, run in parallel where possible:

  1. Account research — full account snapshot using the account-research skill
  2. Contact research — profile for each external attendee using the contact-research skill

Common Room data is the primary source. After CR research, run a quick recency check for each company — this is supplementary, not primary:

  • Search "[company name]" news scoped to the last 7 days
  • For executive attendees, search their name for recent public posts or interviews
  • Only include findings that are genuinely noteworthy (funding, leadership changes, major press). Don't pad the brief with generic news.

Depth calibration:

  • For high-priority accounts (large accounts, open opportunities, renewal risk), produce full depth research
  • For lower-priority or short meetings, produce abbreviated snapshots (3–4 bullets each)

Step 4: Synthesize the Weekly Brief

Compile all per-meeting research into a single structured document, sorted by meeting date/time.

Open with a brief week-level overview that flags:

  • Any accounts with urgent signals (at-risk, trial expiring, expansion opportunity)
  • Any meetings that need special preparation or executive involvement
  • Total external call count and estimated time commitment

Output Format

# Weekly Prep Brief — Week of [Date]

## Week Overview
[2–4 bullets: key themes, flagged priorities, call count]

---

## [Monday / Tuesday / etc.]

### [Company Name] — [Time]
**Attendees:** [Names and titles]
**Meeting type:** [Discovery / QBR / Renewal / Expansion / etc. — inferred if possible]

**Company Snapshot**
[4–5 bullets: account status, top signals, recent activity]

**Attendee Profiles**
- **[Name]** ([Title]): [2–3 bullets on their signals, persona, conversation angle]
- [Repeat per attendee]

**Top Signals This Week**
[2–3 most relevant signals for this specific call]

**This Week's News** [If notable news found]
[Only genuinely noteworthy findings — funding, leadership changes, major press]

**Recommended Objectives**
[1–2 sentences: what to accomplish in this meeting]

---

[Repeat per meeting, sorted by date/time]

When a Meeting Has Sparse Data

If Common Room returns limited data for a particular meeting's account or attendees, use a compressed format for that meeting instead of the full template:

### [Company Name] — [Time] ⚠️ Limited Data
**Attendees:** [Names and titles if known]
**Data available:** [What Common Room actually returned]

**Web Search Results**
[Findings from web search — company news, attendee LinkedIn profiles]

**Note:** Common Room has limited data on this account. The rep may want to check directly in CR or gather context from colleagues before this call.

Do not generate a full meeting prep section (company snapshot, signal highlights, talking points, recommended objectives) from sparse data. A short honest section is more useful than a fabricated full one.

Quality Standards

  • Keep each meeting section scannable — reps read these in the morning, often on mobile
  • Always sort by date/time ascending
  • Flag urgent situations prominently (risk, trial expiration, open opps) — don't bury them
  • If a meeting has very thin Common Room data, use the sparse-data format above — never fill the full template with guesses
  • Total brief should be readable in 10–15 minutes for a week with 4–6 meetings
  • Every fact must come from a tool call — no invented deal context, activity, or signals
