TL;DR

What did @xnagare use Claude for?

An online seller pasted every refund email into Claude and asked what customers thought they were buying; 41 gave the same answer, that they thought it would be bigger, which traced back to one photo where a tiny coffee cup made the product look huge.

What they did

They dropped all 126 refund emails into Claude and asked: "what did people think they were buying?"

How it went

Claude counted the same answer 41 times: "i thought it would be bigger." The dimensions were on the page, but one photo with a tiny coffee cup made the product look huge. They replaced it with a photo of the product in someone's hand.

Worth knowing

  • They don't share how refunds changed after the photo swap. Remove customer names and emails before pasting messages into an AI tool.
  • Price check: Claude: free plan; Pro: US$20/month, or US$17/month on a yearly plan (US$200/year) (checked Nov 1, 2026).

Here are my customers' refund and complaint emails, with names removed: [paste]. Group them by the real reason behind each one, count how many fall in each group, and quote a typical line from each. Then tell me what on my product page (photos, title, description, sizing) is most likely causing the top reason.
