Build an FAQ from your inbox

A practical way to use AI for this job in a small business, with a prompt you can copy.

The job
Build an FAQ from your inbox
Tool(s)
ChatGPT or Claude
Time saved
3-5 hours once-off (estimate). My rough estimate, not a measured result.

The prompt

Here are 20 customer emails/questions I've received: [paste]. Group them into common questions and write a clear answer for each, using only information in my replies. Flag any where I've given inconsistent answers.

Replace everything in [square brackets] with your own details. Don't paste in anything you wouldn't want stored by the AI provider.

Steps

  1. Copy 20-30 real customer questions and your replies.
  2. Run the prompt.
  3. Fix the flagged inconsistencies.
  4. Publish as an FAQ page.

My verdict

Brilliant. The inconsistency flag alone is worth it.
