You’ve built a real productivity workflow — AI reads your calendar, emails, and documents so you walk into every meeting fully prepared. Let’s look at what you achieved and where to go next.

What you built

  • Connected AI to three Google services at once — Calendar, Gmail, and Drive
  • Pulled meeting details, related emails, and shared documents with natural language
  • Combined multiple data sources into a single, structured briefing
  • Read spreadsheet data to review numbers before a meeting
  • Saved your briefing as a file or Google Doc for easy reference
  • All for free, in under 30 minutes

Make it a daily habit

The real power of meeting prep isn’t a one-time briefing — it’s using it before every meeting so you’re always the most prepared person in the room.

Morning meeting scan

Start each workday by saying “Prep me for all my meetings today.” Get a briefing for every meeting on your calendar in one go.

Pre-meeting ritual

15 minutes before any meeting, run a quick meeting prep. One prompt, one briefing — walk in knowing the context, the people, and the key points.

Post-meeting notes

After a meeting, say “Save my meeting notes to a Google Doc.” Capture decisions, action items, and follow-ups while they’re fresh.

Weekly review

Every Friday, say “Summarise all my meetings this week and list any follow-ups I still need to do.” Stay on top of everything.

Try more prompts

Now that you’re comfortable with meeting prep, try these more creative prompts. Say them with Wispr Flow, type them, or paste them — they all work the same way.
Say this or copy this prompt
Prep me for all my meetings today in one go. For each meeting, give me the attendees, key context from recent emails, and one talking point.
Say this or copy this prompt
Find the last 3 documents that Sarah Chen shared with me. Summarise what each one is about.
Say this or copy this prompt
What are the key decisions from my meetings this week? List the decision, who made it, and any follow-up actions.
Say this or copy this prompt
Draft an agenda for my meeting with Marcus Lee based on our recent email thread. Include discussion topics and time estimates.
Say this or copy this prompt
I have a meeting with a new client tomorrow. Search my email and Drive for anything related to their company and give me a background briefing.
The more you use this, the faster it gets. You will develop your own go-to prompts — the ones that match how you work and what meetings you have. Save your favourite prompts in a note so you can reuse them.

Level up: From Gemini CLI to Claude Code

You have been using Gemini CLI in your terminal — speaking prompts, approving tool calls, and getting structured results. These are exactly the same skills used by professional developers with Claude Code, a more powerful CLI tool from Anthropic.

Summarise Slack Channels

Same concept, different tool — catch up on any Slack channel in seconds using AI.

Reflect

Most people are surprised at how seamlessly AI combines Calendar, Gmail, and Drive into one briefing. Instead of opening three tabs and piecing together context manually, you get a complete picture from a single prompt. The ability to cross-reference data from different services is where AI really shines.
Think about the difference between walking into a meeting cold and walking in with a briefing. You know the agenda, the recent discussions, the shared documents, and the key points. That preparation builds confidence and helps you contribute more effectively — whether you’re presenting, listening, or making decisions.
The same approach — gather data, synthesise, and brief — works for client research, project updates, weekly reports, and more. Once you know how to prompt AI to pull from multiple sources, you can apply this skill to any situation where you need to get up to speed quickly.
Think about Google Docs with meeting notes, Sheets with project data, Slides with presentations, or even Google Chat messages. The gws tool can access all of these. The more data sources you connect, the more complete your briefings become.
