Real-Time Sentiment Monitoring Across Channels
Stay ahead of emerging issues with AI that tracks sentiment everywhere—social, email, chat, reviews, forums—in real time. Get instant alerts and recommended responses, cutting daily monitoring work by up to 95%.
Executive Summary
AI-driven monitoring continuously analyzes customer communications across every owned and public channel to detect sentiment shifts, surface escalation patterns, and trigger timely alerts with next-best-action guidance. Replace 8–12 hours of manual checking with a 25–35 minute daily review while improving detection accuracy and response times.
How Does Real-Time Sentiment Monitoring Improve CX?
As part of CX operations, monitoring agents ingest signals from social listening, support platforms, app stores, and surveys. They classify sentiment, cluster topics, evaluate severity, and push prioritized alerts into workflows (e.g., Slack, Service, CRM) with playbook suggestions.
What Changes with AI-Driven Monitoring?
🔴 Manual Process (8–12 Hours Daily)
- Scan social, reviews, email, chat, and forums by hand (4–6 hours)
- Identify and tag sentiment shifts across posts and tickets (2–3 hours)
- Analyze trends/escalations and prepare summaries (1–2 hours)
- Create alerts and recommended responses (≈1 hour)
🟢 AI-Enhanced Process (25–35 Minutes Daily)
- Auto-monitor all channels and classify sentiment (≈15 minutes)
- Trigger real-time alerts on significant shifts (5–10 minutes)
- Provide immediate response recommendations (5–10 minutes)
TPG standard practice: Set confidence thresholds by channel, enrich alerts with customer impact and reach, and maintain a human-in-the-loop review on high-risk or low-confidence cases.
Key Metrics to Track
How AI Drives These Outcomes
- Unified Signal Ingestion: Aggregates social, support, review, and survey data into one stream.
- Topic & Severity Models: Quantifies impact and urgency to prioritize what matters.
- Real-Time Alerting: Threshold-based triggers minimize lag from detection to action.
- Actionable Playbooks: Auto-suggested replies and workflows speed resolution.
