AI-Powered Family Meeting Agenda

What You Get

A weekly family meeting agenda generated every Sunday. Covers the week ahead, logistics, decisions to make, and wins to celebrate.

The Setup

Option A: Quick Version (Manual)

Every Sunday, paste this into Claude:

Generate a family meeting agenda for this week.

Family members: [names and ages]
This week's calendar highlights: [paste key events, appointments, deadlines]
Open decisions: [anything the family needs to discuss]
Budget note: [any financial things to flag this week]

Create an agenda with:

1. WINS FROM LAST WEEK (2 min)
   - Prompt: "What's one thing that went well?"

2. THIS WEEK'S SCHEDULE (5 min)
   - Day-by-day overview of who needs to be where
   - Carpool or logistics coordination
   - Meal plan gaps to fill

3. DECISIONS TO MAKE (5 min)
   - List open decisions with options
   - Flag deadlines for each decision

4. MONEY CHECK-IN (2 min)
   - Upcoming expenses
   - Budget flags

5. FAMILY FUN (2 min)
   - Suggest one low-effort family activity for the week based on the schedule

6. INDIVIDUAL NEEDS (3 min)
   - Prompt for each person: "What do you need help with this week?"

Keep it short. The whole meeting should take 20 minutes max. Use bullet points, not paragraphs.

Option B: Notion Automation

1. Create a Notion database called “Family Meetings”
2. Add properties: Date, Status, Agenda (full page)
3. Every Sunday, run the prompt above and paste the output into a new page
4. Over time, you build a searchable archive of family decisions

Make It Yours

Add recurring sections that matter to your family:

• Chore rotation — “Who’s on dishes, laundry, and trash this week?”
• Meal planning — “Suggest 5 easy dinners based on what’s already in season”
• School check-in — “Any tests, projects, or events this week?”
• Gratitude round — “Each person names one thing they’re grateful for”

Tips

• Keep it to 20 minutes. If it runs long, people stop showing up.
• Let kids add agenda items. Ownership builds buy-in.
• The “Wins” section isn’t fluff. It sets a positive tone and makes people want to come back.
• Save old agendas. It’s surprisingly useful to search “When did we decide to switch schools?” six months later.
