Prompt objective
Reduce support ticket volume by 30% through data-driven knowledge base improvements that address the most common customer questions.
Real use case
A company receives 1,000 support tickets monthly. Analysis shows 40% are about topics that could be self-served if the knowledge base had better articles.
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.
Prompt
Act as a self-service optimization specialist. Design a knowledge base improvement system for [COMPANY NAME] handling [NUMBER] support tickets per month. **Context:** - Current KB articles: [NUMBER] - Monthly support tickets: [NUMBER] - Self-service rate: [PERCENTAGE]% (KB views / total support interactions) - Top ticket categories: [CATEGORY 1], [CATEGORY 2], [CATEGORY 3] - KB platform: [HELPJUICE/CONFLUENCE/Zendesk Guide] **Deliverables (numbered):** 1. Ticket topic analysis: cluster [NUMBER] days of support tickets by topic using AI, identify top [NUMBER] unresolved topics (no existing KB article or inadequate article) 2. Gap analysis: for each high-volume topic, assess current KB coverage (no article, outdated article, low-rated article, hard-to-find article) and prioritize by ticket volume x resolution potential 3. Article generation: AI-draft new articles for top gaps using ticket transcripts as source material, with structure (problem, solution, steps, screenshots, related articles) 4. Search optimization: analyze KB search queries with no results or low click-through, optimize article titles and tags for common search terms, implement synonym matching 5. Deflection measurement: track KB article views before ticket submission, calculate deflection rate per article, identify articles that correlate with ticket reduction 6. Quality scoring: rate each article by helpfulness votes, time on page, bounce rate, and ticket reduction impact; flag articles needing improvement 7. Monthly improvement report: new articles created, articles updated, deflection rate change, top search terms, and estimated ticket volume reduction **Constraints:** - Must require human review before publishing AI-generated articles - Must track article performance by customer segment - Must archive or merge duplicate articles
