ChatGPT has been creating waves ever since its introduction. If you know some tips and tricks up your sleeves and know how to use prompts effectively, you can use them for a wide array of applications.

Though, if you encounter an issue with ChatGPT, the first place you will have to look to is their customer support team. Luckily for you, we know exactly where to find them. Interestingly, ChatGPT can also be used to offer customer support, too.

Where to find ChatGPT customer support

Go to “help.openai.com”
Click on the chat bubble

ChatGPT can be used for support, too

While a lot is being discussed about the ethical use of ChatGPT, it can definitely help internal and external customer support in certain organizations and be a tool to help internal teams in multiple ways. Practical usage of this AI-powered chatbot can reduce first response time and offer personalized responses to users. This can translate into enhancing your customer offering.

While ChatGPT has various useful features, some of the most relevant ones for customer support are:

Email creation
Content creation
Multilingual translation support
Data collection
Customer-facing chatbots

Drafting quick email responses

ChatGPT is good at dishing out email responses. All you need to do is to ensure that you enter the correct prompt with all the relevant details, and it will create an email outline within moments. The draft it shares is personalized and has salutations, subjects, and other critical components required for a professional response.

A quick and professional response to a query improves customer experience and makes them feel valued. However, these emails must be thoroughly checked for accuracy and relevancy before sending them to the customers.

Multilingual translation support

ChatGPT uses advanced natural language processing to generate human-like responses. It also offers highly accurate and contextual translations, which can be used to respond to customer chats, emails, or any other queries. Currently, ChatGPT can translate texts into over 50 languages.

It should not be used as a replacement for a bi-lingual staff since it could confuse colloquial terms and result in a misleading translation. Moreover, ChatGPT has only been trained until September 2021, so it may be unable to add relevant contextual information. Despite these challenges, translations from ChatGPT are accurate and can save time in typing responses in various languages.

Bot for basic queries

ChatGPT can be used to respond to customer queries. It can be trained to answer basic questions based on the FAQs, which will result in saving much time in searching through the sea of information. Based on the information it is fed, ChatGPT can come up with a quick and detailed response to the query, allowing the customer support representatives to connect with more customers.

However, you will nmeed to make use of the GPT 4 API and implement it, rather than just using it like an off-the-shelf solution.

Gathering data

ChatGPT can be used at the front end of an inbound chat support system to collect basic customer details and their queries. It can even be trained to offer quick resolution if the question is to check on the status of a ticket, requires basic information, and more.

While any organization cannot deploy ChatGPT itself, they can integrate GPT 4 model into their chatbots, making them powerful and capable of handling tasks like ChatGPT.

Content creation

Content-heavy support pages, product pages, FAQs, WiKis, DIY guides, etc., can be created and maintained easily with the help of ChatGPT. It can also be used to edit the content already created to weed out grammatical mistakes or inconsistencies.

Such guides and information resources are critically important for any contact center to work seamlessly. Customer support executives need to access these details to respond to customer queries.

On the other hand, customers can also access publicly available information for basic upkeep and troubleshooting. This reduces the chances of a customer reaching out for fundamental issues and saves valuable time for a representative who can focus on resolving more complex queries.

ChatGPT in customer support: Mind the limitations

While ChatGPT is like a Swiss Army Knife and can be used in multiple ways, it has many limitations that must be considered. Since it has been trained on data sets from the Internet, ChatGPT might give incorrect information. So, it’s essential to check out for such inaccuracies.

Even though it does a way better job than Google Translate or any other translation tool that is available freely, its translation may only sometimes be accurate. After all, the software is bound to need clarification on how humans use many words and terms.

Last but not least, ChatGPT’s information may not always be accurate and up to date as it has only been trained up to September 2021, and it can’t fetch data from the internet directly. These limitations mean that ChatGPT can assist a customer support team in various ways; however, it cannot be depended on to interact with the customers independently.
