AI MEETING INTELLIGENCE

PRISM

How we moved from collecting research to generating structured, meeting-specific sales guidance.

01 / THE PROBLEM

Sales teams assemble meeting context across disconnected sources

02 / MY ROLE

03 / KEY DECISION

Validate manual input before CRM integration

04 / PRODUCT

Structured AI-generated meeting brief

05 / EVIDENCE

Five documented interviews, two published quotes and a working prototype

Prototype; business impact unvalidated

01

Signal

The strongest signal was not a missing dashboard. It was the time lost assembling context before every meeting.

5USER INTERVIEWS
30–60 minREPORTED PREP TIME
5+RESEARCH SOURCES
PRODUCT HEAD

Research displaced selling time.

“Most of our time should be spent pitching to clients, but instead, we end up investing the majority of it in gathering, deriving, and analysing client insights.”

SENIOR SALES MANAGER

Slow synthesis weakened timing.

“By the time I gather and analyse the data, the opportunity is already slipping away.”

Research record: The project archive contains the interview guide, five participant recording sets, persona artifacts, a Phase 2 synthesis and one written meeting summary. Only two selected quotes are published; raw participant recordings remain private.

Problem

Sales professionals had access to information, but not a dependable path from scattered signals to a useful conversation.

REFINED PROBLEM STATEMENT

How might we give B2B sales teams a concise, meeting-specific brief without forcing them to research company, market, financial and stakeholder context across separate tools?

03News

PRIMARY USERS

Account executives, sales representatives, SDRs and business-development teams.

NEED

Relevant company, stakeholder, finance, risk and conversation context in one place.

CORE CONSTRAINT

Source reliability, API availability and synthesis quality—not information volume.

03

Decision

Two scope decisions kept the MVP focused on whether the brief itself was valuable.

DECISION 01 · INPUT

Validate the brief before integrating a CRM.

Salesforce or HubSpot integration required OAuth, field mapping, permissions and real CRM access. We chose manual meeting input stored in Supabase so we could test the full research-to-brief workflow first.

The chosen MVP input: enough context to start research without integration dependency.

DECISION 02 · INTELLIGENCE

Specialist agents for research; one generator for synthesis.

Company, news, finance, social and stakeholder research have different structures and failure modes. Parallel agents kept each output inspectable; the final Brief Generator combined them into a consistent result.

NEXT

Feedback and rating controls, production n8n deployment, alerts and better source checks.

LATER

CRM integration, post-meeting logging, deeper personalization and proactive intelligence.

— DOCUMENTS & EVIDENCE

Inspect the evidence behind PRISM.

The evidence pack is the recommended starting point: it maps the interview trail, decisions, delivery artifacts and built output without exposing participant recordings.

05

Learning

The prototype worked end to end; the business impact still needs disciplined validation.

≈10ACHIEVED · COMPANY OUTPUTS
≈5 minACHIEVED · GENERATION TIME
30–60 minREPORTED · INTERVIEW BASELINE

Evidence boundary: The prototype timing and interview-reported baseline were collected separately; this was not a controlled before-and-after productivity study.

ACHIEVED

Manual input removed the CRM dependency and allowed the complete workflow to generate structured briefs from representative company inputs.

OBSERVED

Interview participants described fragmented preparation and expressed a preference for concise, actionable summaries over complex dashboards or raw information.

HYPOTHESIS

Repeated use could reduce preparation effort and improve consistency, but that requires observation across real meeting cycles.

NOT VALIDATED

Retention, team adoption, decision quality, productivity impact and sales outcomes. Source coverage, private-company data and hallucination controls also need stronger production testing.

NEXT VALIDATION

Deploy the workflow publicly, add brief ratings and source-level feedback, then observe whether teams reuse PRISM across actual meeting cycles.
