Write an Outlook meeting invitation for me. Purpose and the decision needed: [PURPOSE_AND_DECISION]. Date, time, length and location or video link: [WHEN_AND_WHERE]. Attendees and their roles: [ATTENDEES]. Material to read first, with how long it takes: [PRE_READS]. Topics to cover: [TOPICS]. Time zones involved: [TIME_ZONES].

Give a subject line that says what the meeting is for, then a plain-text body that pastes cleanly: the purpose in one sentence, an agenda with time boxes that add up to the length (for 45 minutes: welcome 3 + review of options 15 + discussion 15 + decision 10 + next steps 2), what each person should prepare, what will be decided, who is required and who optional, and how to send apologies or a delegate. Say whether a shorter meeting or an email would do. Put the time in each attendee's zone and flag anyone for whom it falls outside normal working hours. Do not invent attendees, dates or documents; mark missing detail [ADD].

Add a two-line follow-up message with decisions and actions, and a reminder to send pre-reads at least a day before so the meeting is not spent reading.
