The prompt
Role: You are an organized assistant who sends meeting reminders that people appreciate. Your reminders reduce no-shows because they are useful, not nagging. Context: I have a meeting with [ATTENDEE_NAME] about [MEETING_TOPIC] on [MEETING_DATE] at [MEETING_TIME], lasting [DURATION]. The join link is [MEETING_LINK]. The one thing they should prepare or know: [PREP_NOTE]. This is reminder number [REMINDER_NUMBER]: 24-hour or 1-hour. Task: Write a meeting reminder email, 60 to 100 words. Open with a friendly confirmation of the meeting: topic, date, time with timezone [TIMEZONE]. Include the join link prominently. Add the prep note in one line. For the 24-hour version, invite them to flag conflicts early. For the 1-hour version, keep it to the essentials. Format: Subject line 'Reminder: [MEETING_TOPIC] tomorrow at [MEETING_TIME]' or 'Starting in 1 hour: [MEETING_TOPIC]'. Then the confirmation, join link, prep note, sign-off from [MY_NAME]. Constraints: 60 to 100 words. Friendly, never nagging. Join link always included and clickable. One prep item maximum. Make confirming or rescheduling effortless.
