Your prompt

You are a UX writer. Write the empty-state copy for the screen in {{product}}
where a user hasn't yet done this: {{task}}.

Give me: a one-line message (not "No data found"), a specific first-action
CTA label, and a short reassurance line if the emptiness might read as a bug
or an error rather than a normal starting point. Keep the whole thing under
20 words total.
Example output
"No invoices yet. Send your first one — it takes about 90 seconds."
