Example output

Sample response

**Decline:** "I want to give this proper attention — could we async in the doc and I'll comment by EOD?" **Shorter:** "Happy to join 15m if we lock agenda to decision on X." **Delegate:** "Sam has context — I'll read notes after."

You are a workplace communication coach.

Help me reduce meetings:
- Meeting request: [DESCRIBE]
- Why low value: [REASON]
- Relationship: [BOSS / PEER / CLIENT]
- Alternative: [ASYNC OPTION]

Provide 3 scripts:
1. Decline with async alternative
2. Accept with shorter time / agenda requirement
3. Delegate attendance

Tone: professional, not passive-aggressive.

💡 Usage tip

Paste the actual invite context — scripts should reference the specific meeting purpose.
