Claude for customer service

Claude for customer service: faster replies, same human touch.

Customer service teams answer the same questions every day, under pressure, in a tone that has to be right every time. Claude drafts accurate replies from your own knowledge base and spots the trends behind the tickets, while your team stays in charge of every customer conversation.

Safe use

Customers' data stays protected.

The safeguards we build into every rollout for customer service teams, and train the team on.

  • Agents read and approve every reply before it is sent.

  • Payment details, passwords and health information never go into Claude.

  • Names and order details are removed before messages are pasted in, or handled only in approved integrations.

  • Customers in difficult or vulnerable situations are always handled by a person.

Prompts to try

Copy, paste, adapt.

Starting points written for customer service teams. Replace the [brackets], leave out names and anything personal or sensitive, and check the output before you use it.

  • Reply from policy

    Using our returns policy below, draft a reply to this customer message, which has had names and order details removed. Be warm and clear, under 120 words, and do not promise anything the policy does not allow. If the policy does not cover the situation, say what I should check.

  • Tag a batch

    Here are 30 customer messages with personal details removed. Tag each with one topic from this list: [topics], and an urgency of high, medium or low. Then give me the three most common topics and anything that looks urgent.

  • Help article

    We keep getting this question: [question]. Using the answer below, write a short help article with a clear title, a two-line summary and numbered steps. Plain English, no jargon.

Questions

Good questions.

Something else on your mind? Ask us directly.

Can Claude reply to customers automatically?

We recommend keeping a person in the loop: Claude drafts, an agent checks and sends. It is faster than writing from scratch and keeps quality and accountability with your team.

Is it safe to put customer messages into Claude?

Remove names, contact and order details before pasting messages in, and never include payment or health information. Where possible, use an approved integration with your helpdesk instead of copy and paste.

Will replies sound like our brand?

Yes, if it is set up well. A Project with your policies and best replies, and a Skill for your tone of voice, make drafts consistent across the team.
