The prompt · ChatGPT

Help me write a meeting agenda.

What the meeting is for: [purpose]
Who's coming: [names or roles]
How long: [e.g. 45 minutes]
Topics: [list]

Ask me up to 3 short questions first if anything important is missing. Wait for my answers.

Then:
1. A timed agenda with, for each item: owner, time, and whether it's for a decision, input or information.
2. The decision needed for each decision item, as a question.
3. What people should read or bring.
4. A short invite message with the agenda.
5. A "parked for next time" list if it doesn't all fit.

Only use what I've told you, leave blanks for anything I haven't given, and don't invent facts, dates or results. UK English.

Stay in this ChatGPT chat. Do not turn on apps or connectors, and do not use memory from another chat.
