Sentiment Analysis

AI that determines whether customer text expresses positive, negative, or neutral emotions.

Sentiment analysis uses NLP to classify the emotional tone of customer feedback. In returns, sentiment analysis can identify frustrated customers who experienced defects or shipping issues versus those simply exercising return policies. High negative sentiment on return-related communications may indicate friction in the return process itself, prompting policy improvements.
