  • {{equipment}}: List the hardware/software involved (e.g., laptop, projector, presentation software).
  • {{environment}}: Mention the setting (e.g., conference room, virtual meeting) if relevant.

Output format Provide a structured response with sections: 'Immediate Fixes', 'Preventive Measures', and 'Backup Plans'. Use bullet points for clarity. Keep the tone professional and reassuring.

Guardrails
