Good to know

Without the second brain, Jiva builds the prep on your Mac from your meetings and to-dos. With it, Claude writes each prep about 3 hours before the meeting and refreshes it every hour. Prep hides itself while you share your screen.

If something goes wrong

There is no Up next section

Connect Google Calendar first. See Connect Google Calendar.

The prep says “Nothing open with these people”

You have no open to-dos or earlier meetings with them. Add your own notes.
