Clustering & AI Analysis
Automatic Signal Clustering
BuildBetter’s clustering engine automatically groups related signals to identify themes: Clustering Features:- Automatic theme detection across signals
- AI-generated cluster reports with insights
- Visual heatmaps showing cluster relationships
- Drill-down from clusters to individual signals
- Trend analysis within clusters
- Root cause identification
Cluster Reports
Each cluster generates an AI-powered report including:- Trend analysis: How the cluster is evolving over time
- Root cause analysis: Underlying issues or drivers
- Business impact assessment: Effect on revenue, adoption, satisfaction
- Customer quotes: Representative examples from signals
- Recommended actions: AI-suggested next steps
- Volume charts: Signal count trends
Use clustering when analyzing large signal sets (100+) to automatically discover hidden themes and patterns.
