Get a warranty repair, replacement or refund with an AI-drafted claim

1. Copy this prompt
Paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or Grok (the free versions work), then replace the [highlighted brackets] with your details. Leave out account numbers and SSNs.
My [PRODUCT] bought on [DATE] for $[PRICE] stopped working: [DESCRIBE DEFECT]. Here's the warranty text: [PASTE]. 1) Tell me whether this appears covered, the remedy the warranty offers, and any conditions (registration, proof of purchase, authorized repair). 2) Draft a clear warranty claim. 3) Draft a polite escalation letter if they deny it. 4) Tell me whether using an independent repair shop could affect coverage, citing the FTC.
