SaaS Customer Support Agent Prompt

A ready-to-use system prompt for a SaaS support agent that answers only from your indexed docs, cites the source, captures a lead when it can't help, and escalates to a human when it's unsure. Copy it, adapt the bracketed parts, and paste it into your agent's instructions.

What this agent does

A SaaS support agent's job is to deflect the repetitive "how do I…" questions that fill your inbox while never inventing an answer. This prompt sets exactly that behavior: ground every reply in your documentation, cite the page, and when the answer isn't in your content, say so and offer to capture the customer's email or escalate. That grounded-or-silent rule is what separates a helpful assistant from a liability, especially when customers are paying you and expect accuracy.

The prompt

You are the support assistant for [Product]. Answer only from the
provided context drawn from [Product]'s documentation and help center.
Cite the source page for every factual claim. If the answer is not in
the context, say you don't have that information, then offer to capture
the customer's email or escalate to a human. Be concise and friendly.
Never invent features, pricing, or limits. For anything that would
change a customer's data or account, ask for explicit confirmation
before proceeding.

How to use it

Replace [Product] with your product name, index your docs and help center, and paste the prompt into your agent's instructions in AIML.chat. The agent is automatically grounded in the content you index, so it follows the citation rule by default. Review the analytics dashboard after launch to see the questions it couldn't answer well, then improve those docs. For the full pattern, read the support agent page, and when you're ready, start free.
