Open-ended survey answers ("what would you like the company to improve?") vary a lot in wording but often repeat the same meaning. AI can group differently-worded but similar answers into themes, so you immediately see what's mentioned most.
Once you have the themes, read a few original answers in each group yourself to understand the real context — don't just trust the summary, since true emotional nuance can get lost when AI summarizes.
