Contact & Support: AI Skill for UX Design
Contact & Support is an AI skill that designs help centers and contact flows around one fact: most support contacts trace back to UX failures. It deflects with self-service first, then makes reaching a human predictable.

What this skill does
Helps an AI assistant design support experiences that reduce the need for contact first, then make reaching a human predictable.
- Establishes why users contact support: missing info, service problems, roadblocks, or complexity.
- Leads with self-service so users resolve issues without waiting on a human.
- Structures help pages for scanning: frequent questions first, categories, bold headings, short paragraphs.
- Sets expectations before contact: channel, response time, and what info to prepare.
- Discloses chatbots from the first message and hands real issues to a person.
- Offers the right help channel at the point of error.
- Closes the loop with follow-ups, chat transcripts, and respectful feedback requests.
When to use it
Use it when you need an AI assistant to:
- design a contact page or help center;
- reduce support tickets with better self-service;
- order support channels by preference and team capacity;
- add live chat or a chatbot honestly;
- place help buttons and links where users look;
- design a feedback form that respects the user;
- review an existing support experience.
Decisions this skill helps you make
| Decision | Options |
|---|---|
| Channel order | FAQ first, email next; phone and chat prominent only if you can staff them |
| Chatbot vs. human-first | Bot triage with upfront disclosure and a clear handoff to a person |
| FAQ | A supplement built from real questions, never a mask for poor product discoverability |
| Help-button placement | Floating for constant access, header for complex sites, footer for simple ones |
| Video vs. text help | Both for complex interactions; a text version always available |
| Satisfaction measurement | Lightweight, well-timed NPS or CSAT tied to real improvements |
