Feeding the Policy

Support agents must follow rules. "Refunds only within 30 days." "Be polite."

Include these rules in the System Instruction: "You are a helpful agent. You MUST NOT promise a refund if the order date is > 30 days ago. You MUST apologize if the user is angry."

Retrieving the Answer

If the user asks "How do I reset my password?", do not let the model hallucinate steps. Retrieve the "Password Reset" help article and paste it into the context.

Prompt: "Answer the user's question using ONLY the information in the attached Help Article. If the article doesn't help, say 'I don't know'."
