Sample input
Recipient context: I spoke with Maya, the operations lead at a 20-person recruiting firm. This was our second conversation. Conversation notes: Weekly client reports take about six hours and often go out late. Maya liked the idea of an automated first draft but asked how corrections would work. Her managing partner reviews new software. A small trial next month may be possible. Desired next commitment: Confirm a 30-minute pilot planning call for next Tuesday or Wednesday.
