Topic Detection automatically identifies and categorizes the subjects discussed in every customer conversation. This AI-powered analysis helps you understand what customers need most, where your AI performs best, and which areas require attention.

Key Benefits

Customer Demand Insights

See exactly what topics drive the most customer inquiries. Understand which product areas, features, or issues generate the highest support volume so you can prioritize resources and improvements accordingly.

AI Performance by Topic

Identify which subjects your AI handles exceptionally well and which topics consistently cause difficulties. Use this insight to optimize AI training and knowledge base content for maximum impact.

Strategic Resource Allocation

Make data-driven decisions about where to invest support resources. Focus documentation improvements, AI training, and team expertise on the topics that matter most to your customers.

Trend Analysis Over Time

Track how customer interests and pain points evolve. Spot emerging topics before they become major issues and see how product changes affect support inquiry patterns.

How Topic Detection Works

Our AI analyzes every conversation to identify the main subjects discussed, categorizing them into meaningful topics that reflect your product areas and customer needs.
The system identifies topics by analyzing:Conversation Content
  • Keywords and phrases used by customers
  • Product features mentioned
  • Problem descriptions and contexts
  • Solution types requested
Intent Recognition
  • What customers are trying to accomplish
  • Types of assistance needed
  • Complexity levels of requests
  • Urgency indicators in conversations

Understanding Your Topic Data

Volume Metrics

See which topics generate the most conversations, helping you understand customer priorities and pain points. High-volume topics often indicate areas where better self-service resources could reduce support load.

Performance Analysis

Each topic shows average AXIS scores, revealing where your AI excels and where it struggles. This targeted performance data helps you focus improvement efforts on topics with the biggest impact.

Trend Tracking

Monitor how topic volumes and performance change over time. Spot seasonal patterns, identify emerging issues, and measure the impact of product updates or documentation changes.

Using Topic Insights to Improve

Optimize High-Volume Topics

For topics with many conversations:
  • Create comprehensive documentation - Develop detailed guides for frequently discussed subjects
  • Improve AI training - Enhance your AI’s knowledge on popular topics
  • Build self-service tools - Reduce support volume with better customer resources

Address Low-Performing Topics

For topics with poor AXIS scores:
  • Update knowledge bases - Ensure information is current and comprehensive
  • Refine AI responses - Improve how your AI handles challenging subjects
  • Consider human handoffs - Set up appropriate escalation for complex topics
Watch for new topics or volume changes:
  • Proactive support planning - Prepare resources before issues grow
  • Product feedback loops - Share insights with product teams
  • Content strategy updates - Adjust documentation priorities

Benchmark and Monitor

Track improvements over time:
  • Volume reduction - See if better resources reduce inquiry volume
  • Score improvements - Monitor AXIS score changes after optimizations
  • Customer satisfaction - Correlate topic performance with overall satisfaction
