Customer feedback analysis

Introduction

Product development is a very crucial process that needs a good understanding of the customers’ wants and needs. This is where customer feedback comes in as one of the most reliable sources of information for the product development teams. However, the raw amount of feedback can be quite a lot and the feedback is usually not structured in a way that is easy to make sense of. Such a task can be helpful in solving the problem, as Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Generative AI (Gen AI) are applied to the task of processing customer feedback in an automated manner and extracting insights from it.

Challenges

There are several barriers that one can encounter when implementing the analysis of customer feedback in the context of the product development industry. First, the data set is large and can be obtained from multiple channels including social media, customer reviews, and feedbacks. This makes the process of analysing the data by hand a long and a prone to mistakes. Second, the feedbacks are mostly qualitative and in the form of natural language which makes it challenging to understand and group. Third, the feedback may include sentiment and emotional aspects which are difficult to measure and analyze. Fourth, the feedback may be written in different languages which makes the analysis even more challenging. Finally, another challenge can be to act on the insights gained from the feedback within the desired time frame.

AI Solutions

These challenges can be addressed by AI especially NLP and Gen AI. NLP can also break down text data, recognise fundamental themes and understand sentiments, which makes it possible to analyse customer feedback faster and more effectively. One of the most famous applications of NLP is the sentiment analysis that enables the program to distinguish whether a particular text is positive, negative or neutral in its sentiment. Also, Gen AI can help in the process of reviewing the feedback, recognizing the trends, and creating conclusions. The analysis of the data can be carried out with the help of machine learning algorithms that can gain knowledge from previous data and make the analysis more accurate with each iteration. For example, Amazon employs AI to synthetically mine customer opinions and feedback to enhance their offerings.

Benefits

There are several advantages of using AI in customer feedback analysis. First, it enhances efficiency as it automates the analysis process thus saving on time and money. Second, it enhances the accuracy of the analysis since it eliminates errors and biases that are often found in human analysis. Third, it provides real time analysis hence enabling firms to address issues raised by customers promptly. Fourth, it provides a better insight of customers’ wants and needs thus enabling better and more effective product creation. Last but not the least, it can result into higher levels of customer satisfaction since companies will be able to address their customers’ complaints and enhance their products or services in the right manner.

Return on Investment

It is possible to get a high ROI when implementing AI in customer feedback analysis. Although, AI is expensive to implement in the beginning, the benefits that come in the long run such as efficiency, accuracy, and satisfaction of the customers can be advantageous. A study done by Accenture states that AI has the potential of increasing profitability by 38% on average by 2035. In addition, companies such as Amazon and Alibaba have enhanced their product creation and customer satisfaction through applying AI to customers’ feedback.
