ChatGPT for Customer Complaint Triage

Classify the issue by urgency and desired remedy, summarize the facts, and draft an empathetic acknowledgement. Route refund, safety, or legal requests to the designated owner.

Published September 22, 2026 · Dr. Connor Robertson

What to provide

The customer's message, order or service record, service policy, and escalation rules.

Starting prompt

Summarize this complaint in five facts, identify what the customer is asking for, and draft an acknowledgement without promising a remedy. Cite the policy section used and label any uncertainty.

Trial case

Include a complaint requesting a refund when the supplied policy does not authorize one. A usable draft acknowledges the problem and routes the remedy request without promising payment.

Review gate

A support lead verifies identity, policy, and any proposed remedy. Sensitive complaints remain under human control, including the final response.

How to score the result

Time to first accurate response and reopened tickets caused by misclassification.

Use the current approved source and keep it available to the reviewer. Check a small set of finished outputs against the previous process before adopting this workflow.
