Respond faster and better — AI prompts for support teams
Customer support requires high-volume writing that must be both fast and human. Generic AI responses make customers feel like they're talking to a bot. These prompt templates are designed to produce responses that are empathetic, specific, and on-brand — and that resolve issues rather than just acknowledging them.
Top prompts for customer support teams
1. Reply to a complaint
"Reply to this complaint"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a customer service response to a complaint about a delayed delivery that arrived damaged. Brand: a premium homeware company. Resolution: offer full refund or free replacement. Tone: genuinely apologetic, not defensive, not corporate. Max 120 words. Do not use: 'We apologise for any inconvenience', 'Please be advised', or passive voice."
Specific, clear, ready to use
2. Write an FAQ answer
"Write an FAQ answer"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write an FAQ answer for 'How do I cancel my subscription?' for a SaaS app. Cancellation process: Settings > Billing > Cancel Subscription > confirm. Include: step-by-step instructions, what happens to their data, whether they'll be charged again, and a line offering help if they're experiencing issues. Tone: helpful and neutral. Max 100 words."
Specific, clear, ready to use
3. Handle an escalation
"Write an escalation email"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write an internal escalation email from a front-line support agent to a team manager. Context: a customer has contacted us 4 times in 5 days about the same billing issue that keeps recurring after being 'fixed'. The customer is clearly frustrated. Include: summary of the issue history, what's been tried, why it needs escalating, and what resolution we should offer."
Specific, clear, ready to use
4. Write a CSAT follow-up
"Write a feedback email"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a post-support CSAT follow-up email sent 24 hours after issue resolution. Under 60 words. Include: brief reference to the recent interaction, a one-click rating link placeholder, and one optional open-text question. Tone: light and human. Subject line: make it personal, not 'How did we do?'."
Specific, clear, ready to use
5. Write a knowledge base entry
"Write a help article"
Too vague—AI has to guess what you want
"Write a knowledge base article titled 'Why was I charged twice this month?' for a subscription SaaS product. Structure: 1-sentence summary answer at the top, explanation of when double-charging can occur (3 scenarios), step-by-step guide to check your billing history, what to do if you were incorrectly charged. Tone: clear and reassuring. Reading level: plain English."
Specific, clear, ready to use
