AI tools you'd use

Why it works

Customer reviews contain valuable product intelligence but are too voluminous for manual analysis. AI can process thousands of reviews instantly, but the strategic insight — recognizing that a spike in 'battery life' complaints actually signals a manufacturing defect in one batch, not a product design flaw — requires human pattern recognition that connects review data to operational decisions.
