Turn down a project politely
Say no to a bad-fit project or client and keep the door open (or not).
Last tested 2026-10-19 Its example inputs were run through Claude Haiku 5.5, and an AI judge (Jev) scored the reply 87/100 for following the rules and doing the task.
That's today's free runs. Solo Pro, Founder, and SMB Team give you 100 runs a day, 1,000 checks a day, and batch runs for up to 50 contacts. New Solo Pro is $19 a month. People already on Pro stay at $15 a month or $100 a year. See plans. You can still use Open in ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok for free.
Fill in the required fields, then build your prompt.
Free. Run it here sends the prompt through our server to Claude and shows the draft on this page (5 runs a day free, 100 on a paid plan); we don't store it. Open in ChatGPT, Claude, or Grok sends the prompt to that tool instead. Sign in there first, or the prompt box may come up empty; if it does, use Copy and paste it in.
Example output
I wrote this by hand on 2026-10-19 from the made-up inputs below, to show what a good result looks like. Your results will vary, so read every draft before you use it.
Example inputs
- The project: E-commerce store with 400 products, needs it in 2 weeks
- Your real reason (won't be shared verbatim): Timeline is unrealistic and it's not my specialty
- Someone to refer them to (optional): Priya at shopbuilds.example
Hi Sam,
Thanks for thinking of me. I'm going to pass on this one. A 400-product store in two weeks needs someone who builds online stores every day, and that's not my focus.
Priya at shopbuilds.example does exactly this kind of work. I'd reach out to her.
Good luck with the launch.
