Smart tags are themes that are automatically applied to feedback for various industries and types of feedback. These tags are based on our pre-trained, proprietary algorithms. Smart tags correspond to a set of topics common to an industry or type of feedback. Note: algorithms also designate sentiment of each comment and each topic within the comment, as in the employee feedback example below:

E-Commerce

E-Commerce analyzes feedback from users of any sites that have e-commerce components. Online shopping platforms share many similarities that are reflected in what we believe to be general tags for this use case. The supported tags and their descriptions are:

  • Billing - Any feedback having to do with the payment process. Comments about declined credit cards or double charges would fall under here.

  • Customer Service - Applied to comments detailing experiences with customer service for the platform.

  • Customer Suggestions - Any suggestions that a respondent may have about enhancements to the platform, or general notes on areas that can be improved.

  • Discounts - Applied to any comments mentioning either the benefit or lack of discounts and deals for the platform.

  • Fitting - Any feedback having to do with the "fit" of the product. Note, this tag mainly applies to clothing retail.

  • Inventory - Any feedback that pertains to the selection or amount in stock of a product(s). Example feedback would be "Love the variety!" or "X was sold out".

  • Order/Checkout - Applied to comments mentioning the ordering and/or checkout process. Examples of this include "It was easy to add items to my cart", or "The checkout window was very clunky".

  • Price - Any comments that mention the relative cost of products, i.e. too expensive or relatively cheap. Also contains comments mentioning the value of a product for the money spent.

  • Product Quality - Applied to feedback that mentions the quality of the product. This can be hard to capture for general purpose products (ask us how to train smart tags unique to the products you sell!), so this tag will typically pick up general terms applied to products like "sturdy", "breaks easily", or "works great".

  • Returns - Comments pertaining to the return process. Most often these comments will make explicit use of the words "return" or "refund".

  • Shipping/Packaging - Comments that mention any aspect of the shipping process, or the packaging of the product. This can range from "I've waited 4 months for my order" to "The lamp was broken when it arrived".

  • Subscription - Feedback that has to do with a subscription, especially either renewal issues or cancellation. For single time payment platforms, this tag will not apply.

  • Technical - Any comments that pertain to the UI or technical experience with the platform. These can range from commenting on good search functionality to mentioning common bugs they experience while shopping.

  • Value Prop - Applied to feedback that mentions value propositions of the product. This tag is applied frequently and mainly corresponds to comments that highlight or compliment a specific aspect of the product or platform.

Online Food Delivery

Online Food Delivery is fairly straightforward. This category deals with any tags you would find associated with a food delivery service, specifically with an online platform. The models were trained on feedback from customers receiving food, commenting on their experience with the service. The supported tags and their descriptions are:

  • Customer Service - Applied to comments detailing experiences with customer service for the platform. This can include calls, emails, or chats through the platform.

SaaS Dev Ops

SaaS Dev Ops models were trained on a dataset of SaaS companies used primarily for improving the development experience. However, this is also our largest dataset, and we have found many of the tags apply even to feedback not pertaining specifically to Dev Ops platforms. Because of this, we have made it our go-to category for SaaS company feedback. The supported tags and their descriptions are:

  • Alerts/Notifications - Any feedback that mentions alerts, notifications, popups, or spam.

  • Bugs - Feedback that comments about encountering bugs on the platform. Some examples might be "The service keeps disconnecting", or "My dashboard is frozen".

SaaS Social Media

SaaS Social Media applies to feedback from users of SaaS platforms that deal specifically with social media. Our training set includes comments mainly from social media management platforms, and relate to users' experiences there. The supported tags and their descriptions are:

  • Analytics - Feedback that pertains to any type of reporting or analysis shown to the user.

  • Feature Request - Any suggestions that a respondent may have about enhancements to the platform, or general notes on areas that can be improved.

Support Case Feedback

Support Case Feedback deals with responses to surveys conducted after (or during) interactions with customer support. While our data primarily trained on customer support cases that had been closed, much of the language applies to any surveys conducted for ongoing support cases as well. The supported tags and their descriptions are:

  • Competency - Any feedback pertaining to the skill level of the support agent. This includes attributes like "knowledgeable", "helpful", or "experienced".

  • Escalation - Feedback that mentions a case being escalated past the original support agent. Typically this involves dealing with a senior support rep or manager to solve the issue.

  • People Skill - Any comments that mention how pleasant the interaction experience with the agent was. Examples include "<Agent Name> was so friendly!" or "<Agent Name> did not seem very professional".

  • Promptness - Comments that mention the response time by the service agent/rep in support interactions.

  • Repeat Info - Applied to feedback that mentions being told the same info repeatedly. For example: "I told the agent that I had already installed the product. However, they then repeated the installation instructions for a third time".

  • Resolution Time - Applied to feedback that talks about the length of time for a case to close, and their support issue to be resolved. This can sometimes overlap with Promptness, as a long wait for a response will typically also yield a long resolution time.

  • Suggestions - Any suggestions that a respondent may have about enhancements to the platform, or general notes on areas that can be improved.

  • Unresolved - Applied to feedback that says the original support issue was never resolved. For example: "I called because I could not log in, but the issue was never fixed".

  • Updates/Followup - Any feedback that mentions updates from the agent, or the back and forth followup as the issue is being addressed. This could include comments like "<Agent Name> was very communicative throughout the process", or "I never received a call back after being told they would look into the issue".

Politician Feedback

Politician Feedback deals with responses to surveys that gather feedback and sentiment regarding candidates or parties. The supported tags include Leadership,

Competency, Character, Behaviour, Policy. Additionally, rules-based tags categorize feedback related to Economy, Immigration, Healthcare, Foreign Affairs, Safety & Security, and Race Relations.
