Meeting briefs are the core of Dana. Before every meeting on your calendar, Dana automatically generates a brief that pulls together everything you should know — past interactions, relevant context, and key details about the people you’re meeting.

How briefs are generated

Dana cross-references your calendar, email, LinkedIn, and any other connected sources to surface what matters for each specific meeting. The brief generation happens automatically — no manual prompting needed. Briefs pull from:
  • Email exchanges with the attendees
  • Calendar history of past meetings in the series
  • LinkedIn profiles of each attendee
  • Web search results for company and topical context
  • Personal integrations like Dex, Slack, and Notion (if connected)

What you see in a brief

Every brief includes:
  • Attendee summaries with relevant background and recent context
  • Cross-source patterns — Dana surfaces connections across emails, calendar, LinkedIn, and the web instead of isolated facts
  • Citations on every claim so you can trace any insight back to its source
  • Time-sorted context — recent and relevant interactions are prioritized over stale information

Customizing briefs

You can shape how Dana writes your briefs with custom instructions. Examples:
  • “Keep briefs under 200 words.”
  • “Always highlight deal stage or funding stage.”
  • “Lead with the most recent email exchange.”
  • “Use bullet points instead of paragraphs.”
Set it once and every future brief follows your rules.

Regenerating a brief

If you’ve added a new note, connected a new integration, or updated your custom instructions, hit Regenerate on any existing brief to apply the changes immediately.
Briefs may run slightly longer than they used to — Dana now includes more useful context per meeting. More signal, not more noise.
