1. Open Global AskFred or meeting-level AskFred.

2. Enter a prompt describing the visualization you want.

3. Specify the meetings, topics, date range, or information you want AskFred to use.

📈 Explore What You Can Create

Here are some examples of visualizations you can generate with AskFred, along with prompts you can try.

1. Reports (Charts and Graphs)

Use Reports to visualize meeting data, identify trends, and compare metrics. You can ask Fred to turn information from one meeting or multiple meetings into charts, graphs, or a dashboard.

Try these prompts:

• "Generate a Report based on the latest strategy sync."

• "Chart how many action items each team member has open right now."

• "Create a visualization of the meetings I've attended, including time, topics, frequency, and a leaderboard."

2. Kanban Boards

Use Kanban boards to organize action items into columns and see who's responsible for each task or how work is progressing.

Try these prompts:

• "Create a Kanban board from the last Deep Learning sync — group by status."

• "Build a Kanban board of action items across all my meetings this week, grouped by owner."

3. Checklists

Turn action items from your meetings into a checklist so you can review the tasks in an organized format.

Try this prompt:

• "Show me my action items for this month as a checklist."

4. Timelines

Use timelines to organize decisions, milestones, and events chronologically. This makes it easier to follow how plans and decisions develop over time.

Try these prompts:

• "Turn the decisions from yesterday's roadmap review into a timeline."

• "Show me a timeline of everything discussed in the last three 1:1s with Sam."

5. Comparison Tables

Use comparison tables to view related information side by side. They're useful when you want to compare priorities, risks, decisions, or other details discussed across meetings.

Try this prompt:

• "Compare the key priorities and risks discussed in our latest strategy meetings."

• "Compare the key priorities and risks discussed in our latest strategy meetings in table format only 5 rows."
  

6. Flowcharts

Turn a process or workflow discussed in your meetings into a visual diagram. Flowcharts help you understand the sequence of steps and how different parts of a process connect.

Try this prompt:

• "Create a flowchart showing the process we discussed in the latest project planning meeting."

• "Create a flowchart showing the process Cultivating Consistent Productivity and Growth meeting here in the chat."

🔎 Review Your Visualizations

Once AskFred generates a visualization, review the output to make sure it includes the information you wanted.

• Check the source: Make sure AskFred used the correct meetings, topics, and date range.

• Review the details: Verify the displayed figures, labels, owners, and other information against your meeting context.

• Refine the output: If you want a different view, send a follow-up prompt describing what you'd like to change.

💡 Tip: Be specific about the meetings, time period, topics, and grouping you want. This helps AskFred find relevant information and generate a visualization that matches your request.
