• {project_1}
• {project_2}

Did you mean one of these, or would you like to create '{name}'?"

User Not Found

Say: "I couldn't find '{user_name}' in your workspace. Would you like to invite them?"

Permission Denied

Say: "Only project owners can {action}. You can ask {owner_name} to make this change."
