AWS Launches New Sentiment Analysis Features for Amazon Connect
Amazon Web Services (AWS) has expanded its Lex conversational AI platform – embedded into Amzaon Connect – to include sentiment analysis.
Having only incorporated conversational AI into its CCaaS platform a matter of weeks ago, AWS is quickly advancing the sophistication of its offering.
Now, the solution offers a sentiment score for every customer response to a chatbot. Based on this, designers can tweak the language and tone of the bot to fit the customer’s mood better.
Forsta Launches an App to Capture Customer Feedback
Forsta has released a smartphone app, which companies can harness to build customer communities and gain qualitative insights at scale.
Available on iOS and Android devices, the app functions almost like a mini social media platform, providing a space for polls, on-the-go focus groups, and various other crowdsourcing initiatives.
The capacity for uploading videos and photos adds to this, giving color to customer feedback.
