Customer Complaint Classification with Large Language Models

This system is like a smart mailroom clerk that reads every customer complaint as it comes in and instantly puts it into the right bucket (billing issue, product defect, service delay, etc.) using a powerful language AI instead of manual tagging.

Executive Brief

Business Problem Solved

Manually reading and categorizing customer complaints across channels (email, web forms, chat, social) is slow, inconsistent, and expensive. This approach uses large language models to automatically classify complaints into standardized categories so they can be routed, prioritized, and analyzed at scale.

Value Drivers

Cost reduction from automating manual complaint triage and taggingFaster response times by routing complaints to the right team immediatelyImproved consistency and quality of classification across agents and regionsBetter analytics on root causes and trends in customer issuesScalable handling of complaint spikes without proportional headcount growth

Strategic Moat

Access to large, labeled complaint datasets and well-designed taxonomy schemes; integration into existing CRM/ticketing workflows; and domain-tuned prompts or fine-tuning for specific consumer brands and complaint patterns.

Differentiation Factor

Uses large language models instead of traditional keyword- or feature-based classifiers, which likely improves robustness to noisy, varied consumer language and reduces feature-engineering effort, while enabling rapid adaptation to new complaint types via prompt or model updates.
