Customer complaint de-escalation helper
Sort an upset customer's message into what happened, what they want and what needs the owner, then draft a calm reply and phone talking points.
Who it is for
Owners and front-desk staff who dread angry messages and want a steady first draft, with clear stop signs for legal or safety issues.
How to use it
- Paste the customer's message and, separately, the facts you have verified.
- List the remedies you are actually allowed to offer (for example a re-do or a partial refund).
- Read the summary and classification first, then the draft replies.
- If the assistant marks STOP, do not send anything until the owner or an adviser has looked at it.

Guardrails and human approval
- Read the classification before the draft. STOP means STOP.
- Keep a human in the loop for any refund, legal threat, injury, safety or discrimination issue.
- Do not paste payment details, health information or other sensitive personal data into the assistant.
- The helper is not legal advice, and a calm reply does not remove your legal obligations.
These are practical notes, not legal advice. Templates are provided as is. See section 4 of the Terms.
Works with
- ChatGPT, Claude, Grok: Paste it as your message, then add your own details where the [BRACKETS] are.
- Custom GPTs, Claude Projects, Grok or other assistant projects: Paste it into the instructions or project instructions field if you want to reuse it. Check that your plan includes that feature.
- n8n, Zapier, Make and other automation tools: Use it as the system message or prompt of an AI step. Keep a person approving anything that gets sent or posted.
We have not benchmarked output quality across models. Output varies by model and by what you paste in, so read it before you use it.
