How can structured AI dialogues improve IT support? Learn how tried-and-true prompts, targeted questions, and smart evaluations make everyday life easier for IT service providers, system houses, and MSPs – with examples and tips from practice.
Why Structured AI Dialogs Make Sense in IT Support
In IT support, various inquiries come in every day: disruptions, support requests, project inquiries, or general questions. Especially with technical problems, it is important to quickly capture the right information and not forget any details. With Safina, you can rely on proven prompts specifically developed for IT service providers. Our prompts for IT service providers are derived from real support conversations. They help you to remain structured and professional – even when things get hectic.
What is a Prompt – and How Does It Work with Safina?
A prompt is a structured conversation guide for the AI. It ensures that the right questions are asked in the correct order and that the answers can be directly processed. Safina remains flexible and adapts the wording to the conversation.
Example of a Prompt Scenario:
Scenario | Information Requested |
|---|---|
Disruption/Problem | Full name, company, type of problem, affected systems, previously tested solutions, callback number |
Support Request | Full name, company, type of request, urgency, callback number |
Project Request | Full name, company, rough project description, timeframe, callback number |
General Inquiry | Full name, company, rough description of the inquiry, callback number |

Question Types and Data Formats: Clarity and Structure
The questions in the prompt are designed to lead to clear, structured answers. This facilitates processing and ensures an overview.
Overview of Question Types:
Question | Type | Example Answer |
|---|---|---|
What is your full name? | Free text | John Doe |
Which company/department are you calling for? | Free text | IT Department, Company XY |
Which system is affected? | Free text | Email, printer, VPN |
What exactly is not working? | Free text | No connection to the server |
What measures have you already tried? | Free text | Restart, password reset |
What is your callback number? | Free text | 01234 567890 |
While urgency is indeed asked for, Safina can additionally recognize in the background whether it is a real emergency.
Advanced AI Assessments in the Background
Not all assessments are directly asked during the conversation. The AI can detect additional information in the background, such as whether it is a critical system failure or if further clarifications are needed. Safina recognizes based on the conversation whether an emergency or particularly critical problem exists. This way, you can set priorities better without the caller explicitly being asked.
