How it works

Ingest, understand, route, and learn.

The Complaint AI manages the entire process from unprocessed interaction to organized case, all while maintaining the necessary evidence and analytics for operations, product, QA, and compliance teams.
01

Ingest & normalize

Integrate email, CRM, ticketing, chat, forms, and call transcripts. Optionally remove duplicates, identify language, connect conversations, and protect personal information before analyzing.

02

Understand the complaint

Leverage LLM summarization, complaint detection, multi-label categorization, entity extraction, sentiment analysis, and escalation signals to transform unstructured narratives into organized data.

03

Trigger workflow actions

Automatically direct to appropriate queue, generate tickets, recommend optimal actions, and escalate complex cases for manual review if unsure.

04

Analyze & improve

Categorize related complaints into themes, track main causes, notify of discrepancies, and incorporate human input for ongoing quality enhancement.

Capabilities

Purpose-built for triage, routing, evidence, and complaint intelligence.

The system is designed not just to detect complaints, but to make them operationally useful with summaries, categories, highlighted evidence, ownership suggestions, and analytics that expose recurring patterns.
01

Complaint detection

Categorize interactions as either complaints or non-complaints, along with confidence scores and customizable rationale for review processes.

02

Evidence highlighting

Locate the specific phrases or statements that convey dissatisfaction, disagreements over billing, unfulfilled promises, harm, or language indicating a need for escalation.

03

Complaint summaries

Create brief and uniform summaries that outline the issue, customer expectations, and events leading up to it.

04

Taxonomy classification

Assign each complaint to a category, subcategory, and root cause taxonomy like Billing, Product Defect, Refund, Delivery, Fraud, or Compliance.

05

Entity extraction

Convert organized data fields such as product, order ID, subscription ID, dates, amounts, channel, location, and policy references into JSON format.

06

Severity & routing

Evaluate the urgency of the score, recognize escalation triggers, and recommend the appropriate owner, queue, priority, and next step for every instance.

Complaint mining from calls and emails

Find complaints hidden inside long conversations.

The Complaint AI sifts through transcripts and messages to distinguish interactions that blend complaint content with general questions or account context, revealing the evidence and significance without the need for manual review of each line.

  • Works across phone calls, emails, chats, and tickets
  • Separates complaint statements from background context
  • Flags potential legal, safety, fraud, or discrimination language
Workflow automation

Reduce backlog without losing control.

Leverage customizable guidelines and confidence levels to determine when to automatically route, initiate SOPs, or escalate to a human reviewer for verification.

  • Auto-create tickets in the right queue
  • Trigger refund, replacement, or compliance workflows
  • Support human-in-the-loop review for low-confidence edge cases
Example outputs

Structured, explainable, and ready for downstream systems.

Rather than letting complaints remain buried in narrative text, the system generates results that can be utilized by your teams and platforms right away.
