• {{feedback_data}}: the customer feedback text (e.g., survey responses, reviews, support tickets).
• {{source}}: where the feedback came from (e.g., email, app store, in-person).
• {{categories}}: optional list of categories to use; if not provided, use standard ones (product quality, customer service, pricing, usability, delivery).

Instructions —

1. Ask for the feedback data if not provided.
2. Read each piece of feedback and assign it to the most relevant category (or categories if it spans multiple).
3. For each category, summarize the main themes, sentiment (positive/negative/neutral), and frequency.
