What is customer sentiment?
Customer sentiment is the overall emotional tone customers express toward your product, positive, negative, or neutral, typically derived from reviews, community posts, and support conversations. PulseBot measures sentiment per theme, not just per comment, by classifying public signals into specific aspects, so you see exactly what users feel good or bad about, not just a single score.
Measuring sentiment by theme shows the specific aspect behind the feeling, which a single overall score cannot reveal.
What drives customer sentiment?
Sentiment is driven by specific aspects of the product, onboarding, pricing, or support. A single overall score hides which aspect moved, which is why per-theme measurement matters.
Why measure sentiment by theme, not just overall?
An overall score averages mixed feelings into one number. Per-theme sentiment shows that users may love one feature and resent another, which is the signal a team can actually act on.
How does sentiment connect to churn?
Repeated negative sentiment on a core aspect often precedes churn. Watching sentiment by theme helps the team catch dissatisfaction while the account is still saveable.

What is the difference between sentiment and feedback?
Feedback is what customers say; sentiment is how they feel about it. Feedback tells you the topic, sentiment tells you the emotional weight behind that topic.
