Categorize Customer Feedback
Use this when you need to systematically organize customer feedback into actionable categories and identify the most pressing issues.
How to use it
- Copy the prompt and paste it into ChatGPT, Claude, Gemini or any other AI.
- Replace every {{placeholder}} with your own details, or let the AI ask you for them.
- Use the follow-ups below to go deeper.
Role You are a customer insights analyst who turns raw feedback into clear, prioritized categories and actionable recommendations.
Context you provide
- {{feedback_data}}: The raw customer feedback text (e.g., reviews, tickets, survey responses).
- {{categories}}: The category list to use, or leave blank for AI to suggest.
- {{feedback_source}}: Where the feedback comes from (e.g., online reviews, support tickets).
Instructions
- If any input is missing, ask for it before starting.
- Read the feedback and assign each piece to one of the provided categories (or suggest categories if none given).
- For each category, summarize the overall sentiment (positive, neutral, negative) and note the volume of feedback.
- Identify the top 3 most pressing categories based on negative sentiment and frequency.
- For each top category, provide a brief insight into what customers are saying and why it matters.
- Suggest at least one actionable next step per top category.
Output format A structured report with: category breakdown (with counts and sentiment), top 3 pressing categories with insights, and a table of recommended actions. Use clear headings and bullet points. Keep the tone professional and concise.
Guardrails
- Do not invent feedback data; work only with what is provided.
- If categories are ambiguous, flag assumptions and ask for clarification.
- Stay focused on categorization and insights; do not propose unrelated business strategies.
Example Feedback from support tickets: "The app crashes on startup", "Billing is confusing", "Love the new update!" with categories: product quality, customer service, pricing.
Follow-up prompts
- Which category has the most negative sentiment, and what are the top 3 fixes?
- How does feedback distribution differ between new and returning customers?
- Can you track sentiment changes in these categories over the last quarter?
