Walk into every 1:1 prepared
Talking points and context assembled before each 1:1, so the meeting earns its thirty minutes
- Runs while your laptop is closed
- Reports in Littlebird and by email
- Free plan includes 5 routines
You have two 1:1s today, and Casey's has the most to pick up.
- Casey Reed at 10:00 AM: you promised feedback on the onboarding plan by Friday, and Casey asked about it again on Tuesday.
- Sam Ortiz at 2:30 PM: the import fix shipped on Wednesday. Start with thanks, then ask about the on-call load Sam raised last time.
The problem
One-on-ones are the highest-value meeting on a manager's calendar and the least prepared. The week eats the prep time, and the meeting becomes 'so... how are things?' for the fourth week running.
The context exists: last week's notes, the wins, the friction, the thing they mentioned once that you meant to follow up on. It just never gets assembled in time.
What it does
Every morning, this routine compiles your talking points for the day's 1:1s: what happened last time, what they have been working on, and what deserves air.
You walk in with continuity instead of amnesia. People notice when their manager actually remembers.
Try the prompt
Copy it into a new Littlebird routine, then set the days and times that fit your schedule
- Open Littlebird and go to Routines. Open the menu next to New Routine and choose Set up manually.
- Paste the prompt into Instructions, then set the days and time under Run.
- Littlebird runs it on schedule from then on. You can pause or edit it anytime. Auto-pause is on by default and pauses it if reports go unread.
You can also choose Create with Littlebird and describe the routine in chat.
Every morning prep me for any 1:1s today with talking points and context from our last conversation
Why make it a routine?
A skill in an AI chat app can approximate this, if you remember to ask. Copy in your calendar, paste the thread, wait, then carry the answer back out of the chat tab.
Littlebird already has the context: your meetings, your inbox, your calendar, and what was on your screen. The routine runs on schedule whether you remember or not.
It is the same idea without the choreography: the report lands in Littlebird or your inbox instead of a chat window you have to babysit.
Frequently asked questions
How does it know what we discussed?
From your meeting history and notes in Littlebird. Past 1:1s leave a trail, and the routine walks it.
Does it work for skip-levels?
Yes. Any recurring meeting where context matters gets the same treatment.
Can it track action items?
It surfaces promises from previous meetings, so the follow-through conversation happens on schedule.
Do I pay per routine?
No. Every plan includes routines, and runs use your plan's usage credits. Basic is free with up to 5 routines, and Plus is $17 a month billed annually or $20 month to month after a 14-day free trial.
Who else can access my context?
Your content never leaves the trust boundary: it is never sold, and it is handled under SOC 2 Type II, GDPR and CCPA alignment.
