1

Capture Evidence and Start a Prompt

Take a photo of the faulty product. In Claude Cowork, start a new prompt and upload the photo to provide visual context for your request.

2

Dictate the Mission

Using voice-to-text or typing, give Claude Cowork a clear set of instructions. State your goal (e.g., get a refund) and the specific tasks you want the AI to perform.

Prompt:
I have this pair of pants of Rafa's from the last six months they've already worn through in the butt. I'm looking to return them to J. Crew and specifically get a refund. Can you help me draft an email and specifically start out by finding the receipt for the pants in my email, either from PayPal or J. Crew with the item number and any other details you might need? Please include that context and draft up the request for refund to J. Crew customer service.

Let the AI Assistant Work

Claude Cowork will connect to your integrated tools (like Gmail) to execute your commands. It will search for the receipt, extract key details like the order number and purchase date, and begin drafting the email.

4

Review and Send the Drafted Email

Review the perfectly crafted email drafted by the AI. It will include all relevant order details and persuasive language. Once you confirm it's accurate, send it to the company's customer service.

Pro Tip: The AI-drafted email will often include the order number in the subject line to speed up the process and may even find similar complaints online to strengthen your case.
