Role & scope

  • Define the agent role: "You are the website assistant for the business."
  • List what the agent should do (answer FAQs, capture leads, book appointments).
  • List what the agent must not do (medical/legal advice, pricing guarantees, etc.).

Knowledge & tone

  • Paste verified hours, location, and policies — no guessing.
  • Set tone (friendly, formal, concise) with 2–3 example replies.
  • Specify languages if you serve multilingual visitors.

Escalation & data

  • When to hand off to a human (angry visitor, refund, emergency).
  • What fields to collect before handoff (name + email or phone).
  • Privacy line: don't ask for payment cards or passwords in chat.

Launch check

  • Test 10 real customer questions your team gets every week.
  • Confirm appointment/lead tools connect to your CRM or inbox.
  • Review answers after first 50 live conversations.

A strong agent is mostly good instructions and verified facts — not a longer prompt. Use this checklist before connecting live traffic.

Channel-specific items matter: Instagram needs shorter replies; WhatsApp needs clear response-time expectations; websites need widget placement and after-hours behavior.
