Sentiment Analysis Tools

Sentiment analysis is an automated process that leverages Natural Language Processing (NLP) technology to analyze the emotional tone in text from emails, chat transcripts, social media interactions, or customer reviews and determine if the sentiment is positive, negative, or neutral. In fact, sentiment analysis capabilities are typically part of overarching Natural Language Processing (NLP) tools, which utilize AI and machine learning to identify moods and context that exist within user interactions. 

As a result, sentiment analysis helps companies gain valuable insight into customers' feelings about their brand, products, or service. This insight can be used to improve customer service, develop new services and products, enhance branding and reputation management strategies in real-time, as well as personalize customer journeys with the aid of customer journey mapping tools.
