This is like giving your company “emotional radar” for all the messages customers send – emails, chats, social posts, reviews – so software can automatically tell who’s happy, upset, or confused and flag what needs attention.
Manual monitoring of customer feedback across channels is slow, incomplete, and expensive. AI sentiment analysis automatically reads large volumes of text to detect customer emotions and opinions, helping teams respond faster, prioritise issues, and improve service quality and brand experience.
