Learn an unfamiliar topic before a meeting
A short explainer on a topic you need to understand by Thursday, with the questions worth asking.
The task
You're in a meeting next week about something outside your area. Ask the assistant to explain it at the right level, check your understanding, and suggest good questions, then verify the important bits with someone who knows.
A prompt to start from
Paste it into your AI assistant, then fill in the bits in [square brackets].
I'm a [your role] and I have a meeting about [topic] next week with [who]. Explain [topic] in plain English in under 300 words, assuming I know [what you know]. Then: - Define the five terms I'm most likely to hear - Suggest five good questions to ask in the meeting - Ask me three questions to check I've understood
Say clearly where experts disagree or where things vary by country or industry.
What to check in the output
- Assistants can be confidently wrong, especially on recent changes, regulation and specialist detail. Verify anything you'll repeat.
- Use it to prepare, not to quote.
