Ehsan's Insight
Sentiment analysis became dramatically more accurate with LLMs. Pre-GPT sentiment analysis was 70-75% accurate and failed on sarcasm, context, and domain-specific language. LLM-based sentiment analysis hits 90-95% accuracy because it understands context and nuance. The business application that most companies miss: real-time sentiment monitoring of customer support conversations. One SaaS company implemented live sentiment scoring on support chats and automatically escalated conversations where sentiment dropped below a threshold to senior agents. Customer satisfaction scores improved 18% and churn from "poor support experience" dropped 35%. The technology is cheap ($0.01 per conversation analysis). The ROI is enormous. Yet fewer than 5% of support teams use it.
