Prompt objective
Diagnose customer service SLA performance across all channels (WhatsApp, email, chat, phone, social media), identify the main bottlenecks causing service level breaches, and create a prioritized action plan with measurable impact.
Real use case
ProtegeMais, a digital insurance company with 85,000 active policies, promises 4-hour email SLA but averages 11 hours. The chat channel promises 2 minutes but delivers 8 minutes. They received 340 consumer complaints in 6 months and leadership wants an improvement plan within 30 days.
Customize these fields first
Replace the placeholders with your own context before you run the prompt. That usually improves the first output more than adding more instructions later.
