Implementation tips

  1. 1

    Include 3–5 few-shot examples in your system prompt showing the tone and format expected — this alone cuts revision time by half compared to zero-shot.

  2. 2

    Classify incoming emails into intent buckets (complaint, inquiry, refund) before drafting, so you can apply specialized sub-prompts per category.

  3. 3

    Add a mandatory 'key facts' extraction step before writing the reply: the model lists the email's main points, ensuring nothing is missed in the response.
