You know the drill. A meeting pops up with a JV partner, a GC, or a tenant rep, and you have ten minutes to figure out who they are and what they care about. You open five tabs, skim LinkedIn, maybe a press release, and hope you did not miss anything important. That rush shows in the room. Questions fall flat, you repeat what they already know, and you miss the angle that could have moved things forward. This task fixes that by giving you a tight, cited brief you can scan on the way in. Research ~5 min to run Research a Person for Pre-Meeting Brief Vic prompt Use Vic to research a person for a pre-meeting brief using their name, affiliation, and meeting context. Purpose Enter meetings with current, cited context instead of last-minute searches. The same brief takes a human analyst roughly 30 minutes to assemble. Inputs Persons Name Required Affiliation Optional Context Optional Outputs A scannable brief with a header (name, title, company, contact links), At-a-Glance summary, What They Care About Now section, 3-4 fact-paired talking points, Background Snapshot, and numbered Sources list. Time saved Turns roughly 30 minutes of manual work into about five minutes. How it works Run one command and give Vic the person’s name. Add an affiliation if you have it, plus a bit of context about the meeting if it helps. Vic pulls from the open web and builds a structured brief with sources for every non-obvious claim. Use Vic to research a person for a pre-meeting brief using their name, affiliation, and meeting context. The output is built for speed. Up top is a header with name, title, company, and contact links so you are oriented. Then an At-a-Glance summary that tells you who they are without filler. Next, What They Care About Now pulls recent signals so you are not relying on stale bios. The most useful section is the talking points. You get three or four, each paired with a fact and a source. That pairing matters. It gives you a clean way to open a topic and something you can trust if the conversation goes deeper. No guesswork, no hearsay. A Background Snapshot fills in relevant history, and a numbered Sources list sits at the end so you can verify anything quickly. The brief is formatted to scan in a minute or two on your phone. This is not about doing more research. It is about doing the right research before you walk in. CRE conversations turn on current priorities. If a partner is focused on a specific asset class, a tenant is expanding, or a contractor just won a project, you want that in your opening, not halfway through. Because the claims are cited, you can use them with confidence. If you reference a recent move or initiative, you know where it came from. That lowers the risk of being off base and helps you steer toward what matters to them now. The time savings are real. A human analyst would spend about 30 minutes to pull, check, and format this. Vic returns it in about five minutes. That gap is the difference between a rushed skim and a prepared conversation. Use it before first meetings, check-ins with existing partners, tenant tours, or any call where context pays off. Share a name, scan the brief, and walk in with a point of view grounded in facts.
