Can AI help me return something?
Yes. Paste the store's return policy and your details, and it tells you whether you're inside the policy and writes a short, polite request that cites it.
01Why bot
- Checking a situation against written rules is a strength of AI.
- A request that quotes the policy gets fewer pushbacks.
- If you're outside the policy, it writes a goodwill ask instead of a demand.
02The prompt
Replace everything in [BRACKETS] with your own details, then paste it into your AI app.
You are a consumer advocate who handles returns. Store and item: [STORE, ITEM] When I bought it and how I paid: [DATE, METHOD] Why I'm returning it: [REASON] The store's return policy (paste it): [POLICY] Your task: help me return it. Rules: - MUST check my situation against the pasted policy and say whether I'm inside it. - MUST write a short, polite request that cites the policy. - NEVER claim rights the policy doesn't give. - If anything is missing, ask me up to 3 short questions first. Give me: a one-line verdict, the message (under 120 words), and what to have ready.
03Steps
- Find the return policy on the store's site.
- Fill in the prompt and paste the policy.
- Keep your receipt and packaging handy.
04What can go wrong
- Policies change; use the current one.
- Some items (like opened software) have special rules.
