Here is a message from an upset customer, followed by the facts of what happened and what I can offer. Draft a short, calm reply that acknowledges the problem, explains what happened in plain words, and states what I'll do next. Don't promise anything that isn't in my notes. Customer message: [paste]. My notes: [paste].

What AI can't fix here

AI doesn't know your refund rules or what really happened. Only promise what you can deliver.
Very sensitive situations, such as legal threats, need a person to handle them.
