Announcing launch of SmartReader — An AI-powered feedback analysis platform

In the past year, we launched multiple AI-based products. With a strong community of more than 25,000 registered users for our APIs and plugins, we are evolving every day. A persistent need that we uncovered from engaging with our community is — how can I make sense of the 1000s of customer feedback data quickly?

Between then and now, we were ideating and experimenting with a SaaS tool that can automate the task of analyzing customer responses. We wanted a solution that works in the world’s favorite format — EXCEL!

We started building this product in the month of July 2018 and after multiple iterations, we are pleased to announce our Automated Survey Analysis tool — SmartReader, which can quickly analyze large sets of open-ended verbatim comments and find actionable insights that can further your business.

You can access SmartReader from here.

In this post, we will show how to use ParallelDots SmartReader to quickly analyze a large corpus of open-ended verbatim comments and make strong, data-backed decisions.
