New here? How the four prompts work together
They are one sequence, not four options. Run them in order on the same piece of work, feeding each answer into the next.
Create
Paste your real data. You get a first draft. Most people never need to go further than this.
Analyse
Paste that draft back in. It tells you what is weak, missing or wrong before a customer sees it.
Optimise
Paste the draft again with what Analyse found. You get a stronger version.
Automate
Only once the output has been good five times running. This is the one people reach for too early.
Nothing forces you through all four. A good Create draft that you edit yourself is a finished job. The longer version.

Is this for you?
- Pick it for
- Malaysian SMEs running sales and customer conversations on WhatsApp Business. No setup needed. If you can copy and paste, you can run it.

How to run it
- 01Collect the input: your hours and response capacity.
- 02Copy the Create prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini.
- 03Replace “your hours and response capacity” in the prompt with your real data, then run it.
- 04Read the output against what you already know and correct anything the model guessed at.
- 05Track first-response satisfaction. Only wire up the Automate prompt after five useful runs in a row.
The tools you will need
The prompts run in any chat assistant — ChatGPT, Claude or Gemini. These are what you need around them to get the input in and the output somewhere useful.
- WhatsApp Business app or API
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- catalog
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- labels
- Any tool you already use is fine.
- Excel/Google Sheets
- Any tool you already use is fine.
Check the rules yourself
This workflow touches rules set by someone else. Check the current requirements yourself before you act on the output.
- MCMC
- Bulk and unsolicited commercial messaging is regulated. WhatsApp's own business policy applies on top, and it is the one that gets your number blocked.
- JPDP
- Pasting customer or staff records into an AI tool is a transfer of personal data. Consent, notice, retention and cross-border rules still apply when the tool is not yours.

Data & privacy
This workflow involves customer phone numbers and message threads. Under the PDPA your business stays responsible for it, and pasting it into an AI tool may be a disclosure to a third party. Replace names and numbers with initials or references first — the prompt works just as well on “Customer A”.
Using customer data with AI tools in Malaysia covers what to check with any provider before you paste.
For this website, it works differently.
Nothing you type here is sent to us or to an AI model. The prompts are static content, and the copy button works directly inside your browser.
