Re: Refund request — Pro subscription purchased by mistake (unused, wrong product)
What the customer wrote
Hi Pika team,
I’m following up on my July 12 refund request for the unused pika.art
Pro subscription purchased on July 11. The subscription was the wrong
product for my intended pika.me agent-wallet purchase, and the 2,300
subscription credits remained unused when I reported it.
Could you please confirm that the Pro subscription has been cancelled
and that the US$28.00 charge (receipt #2379-3025) will be refunded to
the original payment method?

Hello Pika Support,
I am currently subscribed to the Standard Annual plan.
I would like to upgrade to the Pro plan immediately instead of waiting until my renewal date.
I am happy to pay the prorated price difference if applicable.
Could you please help me activate the Pro plan now so I can access watermark-free downloads and commercial use?
I am currently producing commercial marketing videos for my brand and would greatly appreciate your assistance in upgrading my account as soon as possible.

In short
The rule everything follows now
Before
- Replied to everything
- Quoted unchecked policies
- Promised timelines
- Implied actions it could not take
Now
- Says only what is confirmed
- Otherwise acknowledges and routes to a person
- No dates, no policies, no claimed actions
- There is no third option
Replies were going to a no-reply mailbox
- Form submissions arrive from noreply@pika.art; the customer's real address sits
further down in the message body.
- Replies went to the no-reply mailbox — so they would never have reached the
person who wrote in.
- Every form customer looked like one person, mixing their histories together.
- Fixed: it now reads the real address out of the message, replies to the actual
customer, and keeps each history separate.
Across your whole inbox
We ran 200 real emails through it. They came out like this:
121acknowledged and routed to a person
25no automatic reply, on purpose
54not support at all
- 54 were not customers at all — sales pitches, sponsorship
offers, vendors, press. Now kept out of the support queue entirely.
- 25 were deletions, legal, security or fraud. These never receive an automatic
reply of any kind.
- None of the 200 currently get a real answer. Deliberate, not a shortfall —
after the removals above, nothing in the system asserts a fact yet. It routes correctly and it
never lies.
Meet the Slack bot
This part is probably new to you. Alongside the email side, PikaOS posts into a private Slack
channel. It is built to be quiet — it is not somewhere to do support, only somewhere to be
told that something needs a person.
🚨
Security thread needs human review:
Possible account access issue
ClaimOpen in deck
| It speaks up for | Why |
| Security, fraud, legal | Never handled automatically, so an alert is the only route |
| Important accounts | Shouldn't wait in a queue |
| Partnerships & press | Time-sensitive, and easy to lose among support mail |
| Sudden spikes | Several people reporting the same break within the hour — the earliest sign of an incident |
| One daily summary | Volume and status for the last 24 hours |
- Claim assigns a thread to you, so two people don't pick up the same one.
- Approving a reply marks it reviewed — it does not send it. Sending stays a
separate, deliberate step.
- Routine cancellations and deletions stay silent. Alerting on everything is how an
alert channel gets ignored.
Where the replies go from here
- The replies get better as soon as the answers are Pika's. We'll work with Doug to
put together the responses you want the bot giving customers.
- Once those land, whole categories convert from an acknowledgment into a real answer.
Nothing else about the system has to change for that.
- The routing, the alerts and the safeguards already work — the answers are the
remaining piece.
Also coming: a known-issues page, written for you when several
people report the same thing and published only once you approve it · separating
promotional email out of the queue entirely.
The Slack alerts
The bot is quiet on purpose. It only posts when something genuinely needs a person: anything
about security, fraud or legal, a message from an important account, a partnership or press
enquiry, or a sudden spike in people reporting the same broken thing. It also posts one summary a
day.
You can claim a thread straight from Slack so two people do not pick up the same one. Approving
a reply there marks it reviewed — it does not send it. Nothing reaches a customer without
someone deciding it should.
