Understand Active Listening and How It’s Revolutionizing Feedback Collection

Active Listening utilizes AI to improve the feedback collection experience. This allows you to gain a better understanding of the customer experience and what can be done to improve it.
Customer Satisfaction Survey

Capturing genuine and actionable feedback from customers and employees can be a challenge, especially when traditional surveys feel long, tedious, and uninspiring. Many organizations struggle with vague, short responses that offer little insight, leaving them chasing scores rather than focusing on meaningful improvements. This is where Active Listening comes in—a revolutionary approach to feedback collection that enhances the quality and depth of responses.

What is Active Listening?

Active Listening is a conversational AI agent designed to improve the feedback collection experience by engaging respondents in real-time. It prompts users with context-aware follow-up questions, encouraging them to provide richer, more detailed answers. Whether through simple rule-based interactions or advanced AI, Active Listening transforms survey data from shallow comments into meaningful insights.
