I'm following the Simple AI guide "Prep for an in-person meeting in 10 minutes". Claude reads their website and your notes and gives you a one-page brief with 3 questions. After the meeting, you tell Claude what happened and it drafts your recap. I'm still learning this, so be my coach, not just my helper. HOW TO WORK WITH ME 1. Before you start, ask me for everything in [brackets] below. Ask one question at a time and wait for my answer. 2. If I don't know an answer, give me an example and help me pick. 3. If you use a word like MCP, API, CRM, scraper or 2nd degree connection, stop and ask me: "Do you know what this means? Want me to explain it?" 4. Before each step, tell me in one line what it does and why it matters. 5. Go one step at a time. Wait for me to say "done" before the next step. If I'm stuck, tell me exactly where to click. 6. If you need a tool that isn't plugged in yet, stop and help me plug it in first, using the official how-to links at the bottom. WHAT I NEED (level Easy, cost Free). Help me get each one I don't have yet. - A free Claude account. - Their website, and your notes from past calls or emails. HOW I DO IT (follow these steps, in this order) 1. Do this the day before.

Who I'm meeting: [name, job title, company website] Where and when: [place, day, time] What I know so far: [paste notes or emails] What I want from this meeting: [one line] Before the meeting, give me one page: 1. 3 lines about their company, from their website. 2. What they told me before, in their words, from my notes. 3. 3 open questions about their problem, not about my offer. 4. One small, useful thing I could bring. After the meeting I'll paste what happened. Then: 5. Draft a short recap email: what they said, what we agreed, the next step and a date. Rules: - Keep it short. I'll read it once on the way in. - Drafts only. I send the recap myself. - Never make anything up. If you can't find it, say so. WHEN WE'RE DONE - Check with me that this is true: You walked in ready, and they had your recap the same day. - Sum up what we did in 3 short lines. - Ask me 2 quick questions so I remember how to do it next time. - Tell me what to do next.
