Every meeting on the calendar gets a one-page pre-read. So does everyone in it.

Preread watches a calendar, reads the thread that led to each meeting, and writes a short brief: who is in the room, what has been said, what the company does, what the call is probably about, and what is worth asking. You approve it from a phone. Guests get the link on the invite.

Reads Calendar, Gmail and Drive. Writes nothing without your approval. How the permissions work.

01

How it works

  1. Connect Google. Calendar to see meetings, Gmail to read the threads behind them, Drive so shared decks and documents are included.
  2. A brief is drafted when a meeting appears. One of your saved prompts is chosen by a selector written in plain language: "first meetings with founders use {founder-first-meeting}; internal meetings use {internal}."
  3. You approve it, or fix the prompt and rerun. Every rerun is a new version. Nothing leaves your account until you say so.
  4. Guests get a link on the invite. A clean page, no login, prints to one sheet. They read it five minutes before the call.

Intro call — Halden Capital × Ferrule

Introduced by Jonas Feld. First meeting for everyone in the room.

Before this

  1. Jonas Feld intro'd by email: "the only reconciliation team I've met that has actually run a payout desk."

  2. Tomas sent a 14-page deck. Raising a $3.5M seed, targeting close in October.

Worth asking

  1. What breaks first when a marketplace adds a second PSP?
  2. Why hasn't a PSP built this?

What Preread does with an inbox

A product that reads email has to be plain about it. These are the rules; the security page has the mechanics.

  • Reads; writes only on approvalNo email is sent and no event is edited except two plain-text lines appended to an invite when you publish, or an email to guests that you read and send yourself.
  • Only the context behind the meetingMail and files are retrieved for the guests of an upcoming meeting, kept encrypted while you review, and purged on a schedule you set. Never indexed, never used for training.
  • Nothing leaves without approvalEvery brief is a draft until you approve it. Guests never see a version that was not approved.
  • Private stays privateYour commentary and the list of sources are never on the public page. What guests see is the same for every guest.
  • Revocable in one stepDisconnect Google and drafting stops; published briefs remain until you unpublish them.

Questions

Which meetings get a brief?

Any event with at least one other person, unless it is all-day, you declined it, or its title is on your ignore list. Personal events get a deliberately thin brief unless you route them elsewhere.

What does the model actually read?

The calendar event; recent email threads with the guests; files shared with or by them, or matching the meeting; your past meetings with the same people; and public web pages about the company and the attendees. Every source is listed on the review page, and what could not be verified is marked.

Can guests tell it was generated?

The footer says Preread. The brief is written to be read, not to impress, and you have approved it.

What if it gets something wrong?

Edit the prompt and rerun, or skip. Wrong facts tend to come from wrong sources, which is why the sources are listed. A brief that could not be drafted is marked failed with the reason.

Does it work with Outlook?

Not yet. Google Workspace and Gmail only, for now.

Where does the data live?

Briefs, prompts and the selector are stored, encrypted, with your account on Google Cloud. Retrieved mail and files are stored encrypted only for as long as your retention setting says. Details on the security page.
