Workflow Steps

1

Categorize Support Patterns

Analyze support data to identify the most common questions and group them into logical categories.

Analyze these support tickets and categorize them: [paste ticket summaries or topics]. Group into 5-8 top-level categories. For each category: estimate ticket volume percentage, list the top 5 specific questions, and identify which could be fully resolved by a help article vs. needing human support.
ChatGPTBest with ChatGPT

Why ChatGPT: ChatGPT quickly categorizes and patterns large volumes of unstructured support data.

2

Write Help Articles

Create scannable, solution-focused articles that directly answer user questions.

Write a knowledge base article answering: "[question]". Structure: title as a question, one-sentence answer at the top, detailed step-by-step solution, screenshots needed [mark with placeholders], related articles to link, and a "Still need help?" footer. Keep it under 500 words. Use simple language.

Why Claude: Claude writes clear, concise help articles that get straight to the answer.

3

Create Troubleshooting Guides

Build decision-tree-style troubleshooting guides for complex issues with multiple possible causes.

Create a troubleshooting guide for "[issue]". Common causes: [list if known]. Format as a decision tree: start with the most common cause, ask a yes/no diagnostic question, branch to the solution or next diagnostic step. Include exact error messages users might see. End each branch with a clear resolution.

Why Gemini: Gemini handles multi-branch logic well and creates clear troubleshooting decision trees.

4

Optimize for Search & Self-Service

Ensure articles are findable through internal search and answer questions in the way users ask them.

Review these knowledge base articles and optimize for findability: [paste titles and first lines]. For each: suggest alternative titles users might search for, add keyword variations to the opening paragraph, recommend internal cross-links between related articles, and identify any gaps where users might search but find nothing.

Why ChatGPT: ChatGPT understands natural search patterns and how users phrase questions differently.
