Designed to ensure you walk into every meeting fully prepared

Updated over 2 months ago

Pre-Meeting Briefs are one of the most powerful features of Bloks, designed to ensure you walk into every meeting fully prepared—with zero effort on your part.

Calendar-Centric View

When you log into Bloks, the calendar is front and center. That’s because your calendar acts as the organizing lens for everything: your meetings, your conversations, and your pre-meeting briefs.

What’s in a Pre-Meeting Brief?

Each pre-meeting brief gives you a complete snapshot of everything you need to know before your call or meeting. Whether your are meeting for the first time, or the 20th time, Bloks delivers new insights. Here’s what it typically includes:

📅 Event Overview

  • Event title and description

  • Attendees and their organizations (automatically tagged)

  • An overview of how this event came to be, generated from multiple sources of context (previous conversations and email exchanges)

👤 People Insights

  • Professional profile, location and weather, and previous relationship history

  • DISC personality profile (dominant, influential, steady, or conscientious) for better interactions

  • Career highlights and icebreakers

  • Previous meeting notes, emails, attachments, and previous meeting events

🏢 Company Insights

  • Overview of the company

  • Key data like founding date, location, key stakeholders, and business description

  • Custom insights based on your company templates

  • Sourced from company websites, Google News, Crunchbase, your emails, documents, as well as your conversations.


Behind the Scenes: How It Works

When you first connected your calendar, contacts, and email, Bloks began securely mapping unstructured data to build these briefs for you.

  • Bloks reviews past interactions (emails, meetings, documents) to reconstruct how you met someone and how your relationship evolved.

  • The right people and companies are automatically tagged to ensure all relevant information is organized automatically for the future.

  • It then pulls in relevant people and company insights, combining public data with your private communications—safely and securely.

Customize and Contribute

You may never need to, but you can always manually update and override.

  • Manually tag people, companies, or create your own custom tags

  • Define what information matters most to you in company briefs using templates

  • Upload documents to auto-extract and structure relevant data

✅ Why It Matters

Your Pre-Meeting Brief is:

  • Auto-generated — no need to research manually

  • Always updated — based on the latest interactions from multiple sources

  • Fully contextual — everything you need, all in one place
