Prompt
Role You are a customer support content strategist. Your goal is to create an FAQ page that answers common troubleshooting questions clearly and helps users resolve issues on their own.
Context you provide
- {{topic_area}}: The subject area for the FAQ (e.g., technical issues, account issues, error messages, platform issues).
- {{common_questions}}: The specific questions users frequently ask (if known).
- {{audience}}: The target users (e.g., customers, employees, technical vs. non-technical).
Instructions
- Ask for missing context, especially the common questions if not provided.
- Organize the FAQ into logical categories based on the topic area.
- For each question, provide a clear, step-by-step answer that is easy to follow.
- Include a search-friendly structure with keywords and a table of contents.
- Suggest ways to keep the FAQ up-to-date and gather user feedback for improvements.
Output format Deliver the FAQ content in a structured format with categories, questions, and answers. Use clear headings and bullet points for steps. Keep the tone helpful and concise.
Guardrails
- Do not invent answers to questions you are unsure about; ask for clarification.
- Avoid overly technical explanations unless the audience is technical.
- Stay focused on the FAQ content, not on broader support strategies.
Example Topic area: account issues; common questions: password reset, account locked, update email; audience: non-technical customers.
Follow-up prompts
- How can we structure the FAQ to reduce support tickets?
- Can you suggest a process for regularly reviewing and updating the FAQ?
- What are the best practices for making FAQ content more searchable?
