The 4 prompts

1
Prompt 1 of 4

Mine the common questions

Find what customers actually ask.

The prompt
Act as a customer support lead for [Your product / store]. My customers are [Your typical customer].

List the 20 most likely support questions they ask, grouped by theme (shipping, product, billing, returns, account). Mark which are simple/repetitive (safe to automate) vs sensitive (needs a human).
💡

Pro tip: If you can, paste real ticket subjects — the automation is only as good as the questions it covers.

2
Prompt 2 of 4

Write on-brand answers

Clear, consistent responses.

The prompt
Write concise answers to the repetitive questions for [Your product / store], in a [Support tone] voice for [Your typical customer]. Each answer: direct first line, the key info, and a next step or link placeholder. Keep them short enough for chat.
💡

Pro tip: Lead with the answer, then the detail — chat users want the resolution in the first line.

3
Prompt 3 of 4

Build chatbot intents and macros

Structure answers for a bot and your helpdesk.

The prompt
Turn the answers into chatbot content for [Your product / store]: for each question, give the intent name, 3-5 example phrasings a customer might type, the bot reply, and a suggested quick-reply button. Also format each as a saved macro for email support to [Your typical customer].
💡

Pro tip: Add several phrasings per intent — customers rarely ask a question the "official" way.

4
Prompt 4 of 4

Design escalation rules

Know when to hand off to a human.

The prompt
Design escalation rules for the [Your product / store] support bot serving [Your typical customer]: which keywords/situations trigger a handoff to a human, the polite handoff message in a [Support tone] voice, and a fallback reply when the bot is unsure. Prioritise customer trust over deflection.
💡

Pro tip: Always give an easy "talk to a human" path — forcing customers to fight a bot destroys trust fast.
