The top 3 reasons why companies choose Chattermill as the #1 Thematic alternative

Best-in-class technology

Thematic uses Thematic Analysis to organize your data into themes, relying on significant manual adjustments and user input to ensure key phrases are correctly categorized. This method often focuses on tactical issues due to the limited contextual intelligence of modern NLP approaches.

Chattermill's Lyra AI offers a unique blend of ABSA, phrasal analysis, clustering, and Generative AI. This comprehensive approach breaks down customer feedback into specific aspects, grasps context effectively, and maintains high precision.

As a result, Lyra is capable of addressing a wide range of use cases, from specific tactical customer pain points (e.g. app crashing) to broader strategic business goals (e.g. loyalty and retention). This enables organizations to address immediate challenges while aligning their efforts with wider business goals.

Suitable for every team 

Your customer data is the most powerful when everyone can make use of it. That’s why Chattermill is designed for all teams - CX, Insights, Marketing, Support, or Product - to find the actionable insights they need.

For CX teams, that means combining all of your data sources to give you a holistic view of your entire customer journey.

For Support professionals, Chattermill helps you identify main contact reasons by analyzing all your conversations in seconds.

And for those working in Product, Chattermill helps you prioritize work on product fixes that impact KPIs.
