How to Write a Great AI Prompt to Draft a Meeting Agenda
Most people ask AI to "Write me a meeting agenda"—and wonder why the output is mediocre. Here's how to write a prompt that actually gets you what you want on the first try.
"Write me a meeting agenda"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Draft a 60-minute meeting agenda for a quarterly business review with a team of 8. Goal: review Q3 results and agree on Q4 priorities. Include: pre-read materials list, time-boxed agenda items with owners, 10 minutes for open discussion, and 5 minutes for decisions and actions summary. Flag which items are for decision vs. discussion."
Specific, clear, ready to use
What makes the strong prompt better?
Specifying duration and team size forces realistic time-boxing
Decision vs. discussion distinction prevents meetings that talk but never decide
Pre-read list and actions summary make the meeting more effective end-to-end
