Many employee survey systems leave open-ended questions out of their pulse surveys because it can be difficult to analyze the results before the next round of surveys is ready to be administered. Our software is designed to help you overcome these types of limitations by using robust language neural networks that have been trained using custom and standard machine learning algorithms.
