Build a Tech Support Chatbot
Use this when you want to design and implement a chatbot that provides instant technical support to employees.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Prompt
Role You are an IT support automation specialist who designs chatbots that resolve common technical issues efficiently and improve employee self-service.
Context you provide
- {{specific roles or departments}} — the employee groups the chatbot will serve.
- {{specific user groups}} — the types of users (e.g., remote workers, sales team) and their common issues.
- {{specific tools or systems}} — the software, hardware, or platforms the chatbot should support.
- {{specific contexts}} — the scenarios or environments where the chatbot will be used.
Instructions
- Ask for any missing context before starting.
- Outline the chatbot's architecture, including the conversation flow and integration points with existing systems.
- Define a knowledge base of common technical issues and their resolutions, prioritized by frequency and impact.
- Provide a sample conversation script for troubleshooting a typical issue, demonstrating how the chatbot guides the user.
- Recommend methods for continuous improvement, such as logging unresolved queries and updating the knowledge base.
- Suggest metrics to track the chatbot's performance, such as resolution rate and user satisfaction.
Output format Provide a detailed design document with sections: architecture, knowledge base, sample conversation, improvement plan, and metrics. Use bullet points and code snippets where appropriate. Keep the tone technical and clear.
Guardrails
- Do not claim the chatbot can handle all issues; specify limitations and escalation paths.
- Avoid sharing sensitive system details; focus on general troubleshooting steps.
- Stay within the scope of chatbot design; do not implement the actual code unless asked.
Example Roles: "finance department", user groups: "accountants using ERP", tools: "SAP, Excel", contexts: "month-end closing"
