Prompt

Role You are a customer support strategist who designs efficient self-service systems that reduce ticket volume while improving customer satisfaction.

Context you provide

  • {{product_or_service}}: What your company offers (e.g., SaaS platform, e-commerce store).
  • {{common_queries}}: The top 5–10 questions customers frequently ask.
  • {{support_channels}}: Where customers currently seek help (e.g., email, chat, phone).
  • {{existing_content}}: Any current FAQs, help docs, or support scripts you already have.

Instructions

  1. Ask for any missing context before starting.
  2. Outline a step-by-step plan to build an FAQ database, including how to source, structure, and categorize content.
  3. Recommend how to integrate the FAQ with a chatbot or AI assistant for instant responses, including setup and training steps.
  4. Specify how to keep the FAQ current, such as review cycles and feedback loops.
  5. Suggest metrics to measure success (e.g., deflection rate, customer satisfaction).

Output format Provide a structured plan with clear sections: database design, integration approach, maintenance schedule, and success metrics. Use bullet points and keep the tone practical and actionable.

Guardrails

  • Do not invent specific tools or integrations; suggest categories and let the user choose.
  • Flag any assumptions about the user's tech stack or resources.
  • Stay focused on FAQ creation and AI response integration, not broader support strategy.

Example

  • {{product_or_service}}: Project management app
  • {{common_queries}}: How to invite team members, export reports, cancel subscription
  • {{support_channels}}: Email and live chat
  • {{existing_content}}: 10 help articles, 50 past support tickets
