Sentiment Calculation Process

The sentiment calculation for each message within a live conversation is carried out by considering the latest up to 10 messages from both the customer and the agent. This approach aims to capture context, and based on this context, the sentiment of the current message is predicted. The sentiment can be classified as positive, negative, or neutral.

Importantly, this process is executed in real-time as the conversation unfolds, not after the case has been closed. After the case is closed, a final sentiment is predicted for the entire case.

This sentiment analysis is an automated and continuous process that runs for every case. No additional configuration is required, making it a seamlessly integrated component of the overall conversation monitoring workflow.

Considerations

Greetings and Expressions of Gratitude

Messages such as greetings and thank yous, as well as introductory messages, are identified as neutral since they typically do not significantly impact the sentiment of the conversation.

Repetition of Issues by Customer

If the customer has to repeat their issue, the sentiment associated with that particular message is categorized as negative. This accounts for potential frustration or dissatisfaction arising from a lack of resolution in earlier interactions.

Agent's Troubleshooting and Resolution

Positive sentiment is assigned when the agent successfully troubleshoots the issue, and the conversation progresses smoothly. Additionally, if the issue is ultimately resolved, it contributes to a positive sentiment score.
