How to analyze sentiment of HappyFox Support Tickets & Chats with generative AI
As a customer support team, it’s important to quickly address your customers’ concerns. Standard measurements such as CSAT scores and resolution times can provide some insight into how well the team is meeting customer needs. However, to go a level deeper and identify deeper trends and make improvements, you need to directly evaluate your team's customer communications. In this post, we’ll show you how to use generative AI to automatically perform sentiment analysis on HappyFox support tickets and chats.
What is Sentiment Analysis?
Sentiment analysis is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically identify and extract the emotions or opinions expressed in a given piece of text.
The algorithms are trained on a labeled dataset of text samples, where each sample is labeled with its corresponding sentiment (positive, negative, or neutral). The model learns to recognize patterns and features in the text that are associated with different emotions and uses these patterns to predict the sentiment of new, unseen text.
Sentiment analysis has many applications, such as customer feedback analysis, social media monitoring, and market research. It's a powerful tool for organizations that want to understand how people feel about their products or services, or to track public opinion on different issues. It can help automate tasks and extract valuable insights from large amounts of text data.
