Build the prep brief

Know their past answers, claims, and talking points.

01

Add their past appearances

Upload the guest's recorded interviews, debates, podcasts, or TV clips — audio or video.

02

Review what they usually say

See recurring claims, topics, and examples from their public appearances before you write the questions.

03

Check claims when needed

For factual claims, Groundery shows sources so your team can decide what to challenge or follow up on.

Guest prep uses only public figures’ on-record, public appearances and always shows its sources — the same evidence-framed standard as the rest of Groundery.

Give producers and hosts a clear brief before the conversation starts.
