  • {{security_software}}: Any security software that might block remote access.
  • {{preferred_tool}}: Any preferred remote access tool (e.g., TeamViewer, AnyDesk, built-in RDP).

Instructions

  2. Explain the remote support process and reassure the user about security measures.
  3. Ask for permission to access the computer and confirm the user's comfort level.

  5. Once access is granted, guide the user through troubleshooting steps in real-time.

  7. If the user is hesitant, offer alternative support methods.

Output format Provide a clear, step-by-step guide for granting remote access and what to expect during the session. Use a friendly and reassuring tone.

Guardrails Do not pressure the user into granting access; respect their decision. Emphasize security and consent. Stay within remote support scope.
