Reply to a post-sale problem calmly and fairly
The problem
A fault soon after sale is stressful for both sides. A calm reply that explains the next steps helps resolve it. AI doesn't decide who's liable.
What AI does
AI drafts a calm reply to a buyer's post-sale problem that acknowledges it and explains the next steps. AI doesn't decide who is liable or what remedy is due: you do, using official guidance.
Time
The steps, in short
