Beta

3.4.7

I think this is an industry first? We're launching Signals, a way to analyze and answer questions over thousands of calls with insane accuracy in seconds.
Signals takes qualitative data such as customer calls like user research, sales, onboarding, support, and then extracts an insane amount of information from them, and then lets you filter through it like it's quantitative data. It feels like magic.
You can look over thousands of calls and answer:
"What feature requests were made in the past month, and which ones were the most severe and would impact our retention?"
"What issues did customers have in the past year where they were frustrated and would have the highest impact on revenue?"
The list goes on; I've spent hours just playing with it and finding insights.
If you've ever done this work manually, you know how many hours this can take, if it can be done at all.
Now, this data isn't just accessible; it can answer these questions in seconds.
Signals is in beta for paid customers and will be available to everyone soon.
