Product and allergen questions: the label wins

Module 1: What AI already does in your job

Course outline

Quick check

Guess first, no penalty. A customer asks if a cereal bar is nut-free for their child. An AI tool on your phone says yes. The wrapper says "may contain nuts". What do you tell them?

Product answers that sound right but aren't. An AI tool (an app that writes answers to what you type) may call a jacket waterproof when the label says water-resistant, or say a charger works with a phone it doesn't support. It can fill the gaps in what it knows with confident guesses, and a customer who buys on that answer comes back angry when the jacket soaks through in the first heavy rain. The label and the official product page win.

Translations that change the meaning. A translated phrase can drop a "not" or turn a polite request into an order. Keep it short. Point at the label.

Product questions are where a quick check matters most.
