What's a polite way to cancel a meeting last minute?

Keep it brief, apologise for the short notice, and offer to reschedule. The generator handles the tone for you — just pick how much detail you want to include.

Should I give a reason for cancelling?

It's optional. Choose "Prefer not to say" as the reason if you'd rather not go into detail — the message stays professional either way.

How do I ask to reschedule instead of just cancelling?

Use the "Long" length option, which adds a line about following up with a new time. You can also add specific reschedule details in the "Extra details" field.

Is it OK to cancel a meeting by text or chat message?

For informal team meetings, yes. For client or external meetings, a more formal channel like email may be more appropriate — use the "Formal" tone either way for a professional-sounding message.

Does this tool store what I type?

No — every message is generated locally in your browser. Nothing is sent to our servers or stored. See our Privacy Policy for details.
