The customer feedback imperative

Today, customer feedback is disparate, siloed, and manually aggregated across sources—support calls, surveys, reviews, product usage data, social media, and more—and lives in unstructured forms like voice and text. It’s hard for engineering, product, and customer experience teams to get a single source of truth from all customer feedback to derive accurate and actionable insights.

unitQ aggregates customer feedback—in 100 languages translated from 60+ sources—and automatically groups it into granular categories, allowing teams to pinpoint the root cause of all customer friction. With unitQ, companies can discover what customers like, dislike, and want more of by making sense of real-time customer feedback with proprietary generative AI to build the world’s leading products, services, and experiences.
