Start an AI Customer Support Setup Service
Build Your Core Asset
Initial Setup Checklist
- Ask the owner to forward 20-30 recent common customer emails or WhatsApp messages.
- Identify and group the core underlying questions from those messages.
- Draft standardized, professional replies for each question using AI.
- Explicitly identify which questions require owner approval (e.g., custom pricing or refunds).
- Format the responses into a clean, copy-ready Google Sheet and conduct a final review with the owner.
Action Prompts
PROMPT 1: Extracting Questions
I am going to paste 20 raw customer messages sent to a local dental clinic. Read through them and identify the 5 most frequently asked questions. Write out those 5 questions clearly.
PROMPT 2: Draft Replies and Boundaries
For the 5 questions identified, draft a professional, copy-ready reply optimized for WhatsApp. Then, for each question, write a strict "Escalation Rule" defining exactly when the receptionist must stop replying and ask the clinic manager for help.
Finished Example
This is an illustrative finished example for educational purposes.
Question: "Do you offer emergency root canals on Sundays?"
Approved reply: "Hello! We do handle dental emergencies. Our Sunday hours are [Insert Hours]. Please call us directly at [Insert Phone Number] so we can assess the situation immediately."
Ask owner when: The patient mentions severe pain or asks if insurance covers the emergency.
Do not promise: That the dentist can definitely save the tooth.
Common Mistakes
- Inventing prices or policies without owner input
Impact: Staff use your drafted sheet, give a customer the wrong price, and the owner is forced to honor a discount you invented. You will be fired immediately.
Correction: Never hallucinate facts. Always leave prices, hours, and policies in [BRACKETS] for the owner to explicitly approve or fill in.
- Making replies too long
Impact: Staff will not read or copy a three-paragraph essay. Customers will not read it on WhatsApp.
Correction: Keep replies strictly to 1-2 sentences. Prioritize clarity over complex vocabulary.
Failure Recovery Warning: Diagnostic guidelines for support setup.
Practice Execution
- Open Google Sheets and create columns: Question Category, Specific Customer Question, Approved Reply, Escalate When, Do Not Promise.
- Invent 10 common questions for a local business type you understand well.
- Use the AI prompts to draft the replies and escalation rules.
- Format the sheet so the "Approved Reply" column is wide and easy to read on a mobile phone screen.
- Review the sheet to ensure no fabricated facts or prices snuck into the AI drafts.
Supplementary Methodology & Evidence
Methodology & Evidence: AI excels at adjusting tone and summarizing, but it cannot know a specific business's pricing or refund policy. Structuring the deliverable around owner-inserted variables guarantees safety while saving the owner the time of writing the actual prose.
