Zendesk's investment in unitQ marks a major milestone, as Zendesk, the company providing the most complete AI solution for CX in the market, is not only a valued unitQ customer but also a strategic investor.

We've gained more than just funding – we're now connected to a community and receive tailored mentorship to help our company's growth." 

The Customer Feedback Imperative
Customer feedback today is disparate, siloed and manually aggregated across sources — support calls, surveys, reviews, product usage data, social media and more — and lives in unstructured forms like voice and text. It's hard for engineering, product and customer experience teams to get a single source of truth from all customer feedback to derive accurate and actionable insights.

unitQ aggregates customer feedback — in 100's of languages translated from 60+ sources — and automatically groups it into granular categories allowing teams to pinpoint the root cause of all customer friction. With unitQ, companies can discover what customers like, dislike and want more of by making sense of real-time customer feedback with proprietary generative AI — to build the worlds' leading products, services and experiences.
