Complaint Text
My order was supposed to arrive 5 days ago and it's still not here. I needed it for a birthday and now it's too late. This is really frustrating and I want my money back.
Severity
serious
Desired Outcome
full refund
Brand Tone
empathetic and warm

Output (excerpt)

Hi [Name], I'm so sorry your order didn't arrive in time, especially for a birthday. That's genuinely disappointing and not the experience we want for you. I've gone ahead and issued a full refund to your original payment method; you'll see it within 5-7 business days. You're also welcome to keep the item if it arrives. I'd love a chance to make your next order right, so I've added a note to your account.

Input

Complaint Text
Your latest update broke the export feature. Every CSV I download is missing the last column. I've lost an hour re-doing reports and I rely on this daily.
Severity
moderate
Desired Outcome
fast fix and explanation
Brand Tone
professional and direct

Output (excerpt)

Hi [Name], thanks for the detailed report, and I'm sorry the last update disrupted your reporting. You're right: a change in the export module dropped the final column in CSV output. Our team has confirmed the bug and a fix is rolling out within 24 hours. In the meantime, exporting as XLSX preserves all columns as a workaround. I'll email you the moment the patch is live so you can resume your daily reports.

Public negative review needing recovery

A brand marketer can turn a damaging public review into a recovery story with a humble, action-first response.

See input + output preview

Input

Complaint Text
Tried this product based on the hype and it just doesn't work as advertised. The battery dies in two hours, not the 'all day' you promised. Very misleading.
Severity
escalated
Desired Outcome
replacement and apology
Brand Tone
humble and solution-focused

Output (excerpt)

Hi [Name], thank you for the honest feedback, and I'm sorry the battery hasn't lived up to what we promised. Two hours is far below spec, which tells me your unit may be defective. We'd like to send a free replacement right away and cover return shipping on the original. If the new unit doesn't deliver true all-day life, we'll refund you in full. Please reply with your order number and we'll get it moving today.

Tips for Best Results

  • Always respond to the customer's emotion first, then the problem. People need to feel heard before they care about solutions.
  • Use the 'generous version' for loyal customers — the lifetime value of saving a relationship far exceeds the cost of a refund.
  • Never respond to a serious complaint when you're emotional. Let the AI draft the response, then wait an hour before sending.
  • For public complaints, keep the response short and move the conversation to a private channel.
  • Follow up 48 hours after resolution — this is when detractors become promoters.

Frequently Asked Questions

Should I always offer compensation?

Not always. Minor complaints may only need acknowledgment and a fix. Moderate to serious complaints typically warrant some goodwill gesture. The AI calibrates compensation recommendations to the severity level.

What if the complaint is unreasonable?

The AI generates professional responses that acknowledge the customer's experience without making admissions or promises that aren't warranted. The 'conservative version' is designed for these situations.

How do I handle threats of legal action?

The AI flags legal risks in the 'Red Flags' section. For genuine legal threats, use the generated response as a draft and have it reviewed by your legal team before sending.

Can I use this for social media complaints?

Yes. For public-facing responses (Twitter, Facebook, review sites), use the shorter version and always include a move to DM/email. The AI provides both public-length and detailed versions.

What if the customer complains about something we can't fix?

The AI will suggest alternative resolutions and goodwill gestures when the primary issue can't be resolved. Transparency about limitations, combined with genuine effort, is often enough.
