You know the drill. A meeting pops up with an owner or tenant you have not met, and you spend half an hour jumping between LinkedIn, company pages, and old articles to piece together a view. You walk in with fragments and hope you do not miss something obvious. The cost is more than time. You ask generic questions, or repeat facts they have heard all week. This task replaces that scramble with a tight, cited brief you can use. Research ~5 min to run Research a Person Vic prompt Use Vic to research John Smith of ABC Industrial Partners before my tenant rep meeting on Tuesday. Purpose You arrive at meetings with context that normally takes 30 minutes to compile. The brief cuts that work to roughly 5 minutes while keeping every claim traceable. Inputs Persons Name Required Affiliation Optional Context Optional Outputs A scannable brief that includes a header with title and contact links, an At-a-Glance summary, a section on current priorities, three to four fact-paired talking points, a background snapshot, and a numbered sources list. Time saved Cuts roughly 30 minutes of prep to about 5 minutes. How it works Give Vic a name. Add any context you have, such as the company, property, or purpose of the meeting. Vic runs open web research and builds a concise profile focused on what matters in a live conversation. Run it with a simple command: "Use Vic to research John Smith of ABC Industrial Partners before my tenant rep meeting on Tuesday." You get a scannable brief built for speed. It opens with a header that lists the person’s title and quick contact links. Right under that is an At a Glance summary so you can orient fast. The next section covers current priorities, where most prep falls short. It pulls what the person is working on now or signaling publicly, not just where they went to school. Then come three to four fact paired talking points. Each point ties a specific fact to a way you can use it in the room, so you are not guessing how to turn research into a question. Non obvious claims include source links, and the brief ends with a numbered sources list so you can verify anything in a click. There is also a background snapshot for context. It is concise by design. You are not reading a biography. You get enough to understand how they got here and what they are likely to care about. What this replaces Five open tabs and a notes doc that never quite comes together Outdated bios that miss what changed in the last year Guessing which detail will land in conversation The value is simple. You show up with a view on who the person is and what is on their mind, and you can trace every non obvious detail back to a source. That changes the tone of the meeting. Questions get sharper, and you avoid the kind of basic miss that signals you did not prepare. It also standardizes prep across your team. Everyone walks in with the same structure, the same level of verification, and a few ready angles to open a conversation. No more uneven notes depending on who had time that morning. This is not a deep investigative report. It is a fast, reliable pre read that fits how CRE meetings work. You scan it in a few minutes, pick two angles to lead with, and keep the sources handy in case you need to check something. For anyone who meets owners, tenants, lenders, or counterparties, this closes a small but constant gap. Thirty minutes of prep becomes about five, and the conversation improves because you are not starting from zero.
