How to Extract Keywords from Slack Community Channels using Generative AI

If you’re looking for a way to quickly identify important insights from your Slack community conversations, then you’re in luck. In this post, we’ll show you how to use generative AI to automatically extract keywords from Slack community channels.

What is Keyword Extraction?

Keyword extraction is a natural language processing (NLP) technique that involves identifying the most important or relevant words or phrases in a piece of text. You can use it to extract key information and themes from text has many applications, such as search engine optimization (SEO), content analysis, and topic modeling.

Keyword extraction can be performed manually, but it can also be automated using machine learning algorithms. These algorithms learn to recognize patterns and features in the text that are associated with important words or phrases, and can be trained on a labeled dataset of text.

You can use keyword extraction to analyze and summarize large amounts of text data to quickly identify the most important information and themes.

Example Use Cases

Use cases for extracting keywords from Slack community channels include:

  • Monitoring customer feedback and sentiment
  • Identifying common topics and discussions
  • Improving community engagement and participation
  • Identifying areas for training and improvement

Teams that might find these use cases helpful include: community management, customer support, product, marketing, and operations.

Accessing and Analyzing Slack Community Channel Data

The first step is to access the Slack community channel data you want to analyze. You can export this data in JSON format using the Slack API. The API documentation can be found here: https://api.slack.com/

Once you have your data, you’ll need to preprocess it to remove stop words and perform stemming or lemmatization. Stop words are common words such as “the”, “and”, and “a” that are not relevant to keyword extraction. Stemming and lemmatization are techniques for reducing words to their base form (e.g., “run”, “running”, and “ran” all become “run”).

After preprocessing, you can use a generative AI tool to automatically extract keywords from your Slack community channel data. These tools use machine learning algorithms to identify the most relevant words and phrases in the text. They can also provide insights into the sentiment and emotion of the conversations.

Once you have identified the most important keywords, you can use them to monitor customer feedback, identify common topics and discussions, and improve community engagement and participation.

Conclusion

Keyword extraction can be a powerful tool for analyzing and summarizing large amounts of text data. By using generative AI tools, you can quickly and easily extract keywords from your Slack community channel conversations. This can help you gain valuable insights into customer feedback and sentiment, identify common topics and discussions, and improve community engagement and participation.

Using AirOps to perform Keyword Identification

With AirOps, you can easily extract relevant keywords and phrases from your text-based data using the Keyword Identifier data app. Here's how:

  1. Select "Keyword Identifier" from the Data Apps page. The input required for Keyword Identifier is the "text_field" which is the input text data.

  2. Decide where you want the analysis to be performed and stored. The Keyword Identifier data app can be easily used in the AirOps Data App page and via API, but in this example, the analysis will be performed in Snowflake through an external function called AIROPS_KEYWORD_IDENTIFIER.

    Here is an example SQL query:

    SELECT
    AIROPS_KEYWORD_IDENTIFIER(text_field) as result
    FROM
    your_table
  3. Execute the keyword extraction analysis by running the SQL query. The output will contain an array of keywords and phrases extracted from the input text data.

    Example Input:

    "Hello, I am having trouble with my account. I cannot seem to log in and I have tried resetting my password multiple times."

    Example Output:

    "keywords": ["trouble", "account", "log in", "resetting", "password", "multiple times"],"summary": "A customer is having trouble logging into their account and has tried resetting their password multiple times."

Using AirOps to perform Sentiment Analysis

With AirOps, you can easily perform sentiment analysis on any text data such as reviews, support tickets, or sales calls using Sentiment Analyzer. Here’s how:

  1. Select "Sentiment Analyzer" from the Data Apps page. The only input for Sentiment Analyzer is some text to analyze.

  2. Decide where you want the analysis to be performed and stored. The Sentiment Analyzer data app can be easily used in the AirOps Data App page and via API, but in this example, the analysis will be performed in Snowflake through an external function called AIROPS_SENTIMENT_ANALYZER.

    Here is an example SQL query:

    SELECT
    AIROPS_SENTIMENT_ANALYZER(text_field) as result
    FROM
    your_table
  3. Execute the sentiment analysis by running the SQL query. The output will contain a sentiment score and sentiment summary, as well as a list of positive and negative keywords extracted from the input text data.

    Input:

    "I'm sorry to say that I had a terrible experience with your product. The customer service was unresponsive and the product didn't work as advertised."

    Output:

    "positive_keywords": [],"negative_keywords": ["terrible experience", "customer service", "unresponsive", "product", "didn't work", "advertised"],"score": -0.8,"sentiment": "Very Negative"

Using AirOps to perform Text Classification

With AirOps, you can easily perform classification using generative AI. Here’s how:

  1. Select "Text Classifier'' from the Data Apps page. Below are the possible inputs for Text Classifier.text_field: The input text data.categories (optional): Categories can be specified as a comma-separated list. Leave empty for automatic determination.multi_category: Set to “true” if the text can belong to multiple categories, or “false” if it can only belong to one category.

  2. Decide where you want the analysis to be performed and stored. The Text Classifier data app can be easily used in the AirOps Data App page and via API, but in this example, the analysis will be performed in Snowflake through an external function called AIROPS_CLASSIFIER.

    Here is an example SQL query:

    SELECT
    AIROPS_CLASSIFIER(text_field, categories, multi_category) as result
    FROM
    your_table
  3. Execute the classification analysis by running the SQL query. The output will contain a list of keywords extracted from the input text data that are relevant to the identified categories and a list of categories that the input text data belongs to based on the provided categories or automatic determination.
