30 Powerful ChatGPT Prompts for Customer Service Teams

ChatGPT prompts to help customer service teams

👉 PRO TIP: Before using these prompts, give ChatGPT clear context about your company — including your product or service, customer base, support channels, and how your customer service team is structured. More context leads to more relevant, actionable responses.

📌 Optional context to paste into ChatGPT

(You only need to do this once.)

• Company size and industry
• Product or service overview
• Customer segments you support
• Support channels (email, chat, phone, self-service, etc.)
• Key service goals (CSAT, response time, resolution rate)

This step is optional, but even a small amount of context can significantly improve results.
