How to classify RingCentral Sales Call Transcripts with generative AI
Sales teams capture a lot of valuable information during customer interactions, but it can be difficult to categorize and analyze this data. Manually reviewing call transcripts is time-consuming and prone to errors. In this post, we’ll show you how to use generative AI to automatically classify RingCentral sales call transcripts.
What is Text Classification?
Text classification is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves using machine learning algorithms to automatically assign one or more predefined categories or labels to a given piece of text. The algorithms typically learn from a training set of labeled text data and use statistical models to identify patterns and features in the text that can be used to classify new, unseen text data.
Text classification is used in a wide range of applications, from spam detection in emails to sentiment analysis in social media posts and reviews. It has become an essential tool for many industries that rely on large amounts of text data, helping to automate tasks and extract valuable insights from the data.
