Getting Started
When you run this skill, I'll ask for what I need:
Required:
- Company or contact name
- Meeting type (discovery, demo, negotiation, check-in, etc.)
Helpful if you have it:
- Who's attending (names and titles)
- Any context you want me to know (paste prior notes, emails, etc.)
If you've connected your CRM, email, or other tools, I'll pull context automatically and skip the questions.
Connectors (Optional)
Connect your tools to supercharge this skill:
| Connector | What It Adds |
|---|
| CRM | Account details, contact history, open deals, recent activities |
| Email | Recent threads with the company, open questions, attachments shared |
| Chat | Internal chat discussions (e.g. Slack) about the account, colleague insights |
| Transcripts | Prior call recordings, topics covered, competitor mentions |
| Calendar | Auto-find the meeting, pull attendees and description |
No connectors? No problem. Just tell me about the meeting and paste any context you have. I'll research the rest.
