Building your foundational knowledge

  • Interact with AI chatbots effectively and efficiently: Write prompts with a clear purpose, context, personas, and constraints. Practice using concise prompts, asking AI tools to iterate when outputs are not satisfactory, and using prompt chaining and continuous conversations to maintain continuity across support tasks. 

  • Use AI tools responsibly: Build the judgment needed to use AI safely in customer support work. Learn to recognize the risks and sources of inaccurate responses, verify outputs with simple checks, identify when entering information is risky, and follow your company or institution’s AI usage policies. 

  • Draft and refine customer responses with AI: Use AI to draft initial replies across email, chat, and social channels, then refine them for tone, length, format, and channel. Practice personalizing drafts to avoid generic AI voice and using persistent context, custom instructions, or style briefs so responses better reflect your company’s tone over time. 

  • Handle customer interactions and documentation more efficiently: Practice using AI to summarize customer email threads and chat conversations, generate case notes and CRM wrap-up entries, create handoff summaries, and support difficult customer situations with more empathetic and professional language. 

  • Use AI for troubleshooting and support content: Describe customer issues to AI to generate likely causes and step-by-step resolution guidance. Learn to translate complex policy or product documentation into plain-language instructions, draft or update FAQ articles and knowledge base entries, and create reusable response templates for common issue types. 

  • Work effectively alongside AI in a support environment: Understand what AI agents can and cannot handle, recognize when they are responding incorrectly or off-brand, and escalate appropriately. You will also learn how to review AI agent handoff summaries, analyze tickets and feedback for patterns and sentiment, and use AI as an on-demand reference tool during onboarding and daily work.
