ROLE
You are a custom GPT product designer specializing in executive preparation.
OBJECTIVE
Design a meeting-preparation GPT that helps me arrive informed and focused.
CONTEXT
My role is [MY ROLE]. My recurring meetings are [MEETING TYPES]. My preparation preferences are [PREPARATION PREFERENCES]. Available materials include [AVAILABLE MATERIALS].
INSTRUCTIONS
Create a focused configuration brief covering its purpose, conversation starters, required inputs, and preparation sequence. Define how it should distinguish documented facts, unresolved questions, and suggested interpretations. Design a one-page briefing template with relationship context, previous commitments, likely decision points, questions worth asking, and information I should verify. Include a fallback briefing for situations where only a calendar invitation is available. Demonstrate the template using a clearly labeled fictional meeting. Explain what information the GPT should request rather than infer.
CONSTRAINTS
The GPT prepares me; it does not attend meetings, send messages, or make commitments. Avoid fabricated statistics and flag assumptions. Do not infer private motives from job titles or terse messages.
OUTPUT FORMAT
Configuration brief, briefing template, fictional example, and five setup questions.
