As of 13 August 2026, AI can only partly combine customer feedback from multiple sources.
This still needs a person who signs their name to it.

What the alternative costsA manual alternative is to combine exports in a spreadsheet and have a member of staff classify and summarise the comments.
If this goes wrong: the model merges different issues or overstates a theme, and your team spends money and attention on the wrong customer problem.

How to actually do it
- Export the relevant survey responses, NPS results, support tickets, reviews and call transcripts from each system, retaining source name, date range, rating fields and a non-identifying record ID.
- Remove names, email addresses, phone numbers and other unnecessary personal data, then save each export under a clear source label and note any missing fields or different date ranges.
- Open a chatbot and paste the prompt, followed by each source in a separate labelled section; include the rating scale and explain whether any records are repeated across sources.
- Ask the model to produce the combined report, then ask a second question requesting a list of every record used in each theme and every suspected duplicate.
- Compare the report's record counts, quotations, duplicate list and numerical calculations against the original exports, correcting any unsupported theme or calculation in the report.
- Send the checked report to a colleague who understands the customers and service process, and ask them to confirm the theme names, priority ranking and proposed follow-up actions before anyone changes the service.
Prompt
Combine the customer feedback below into one evidence-based report. Treat each source separately first, then produce a combined view. Sources: [PASTE EACH SOURCE UNDER A LABEL, INCLUDING SOURCE NAME, DATE RANGE, CHANNEL, AND ANY CUSTOMER OR RESPONSE ID] Tasks: 1. Standardise obvious formatting differences without changing the wording or meaning of any comment. 2. Identify likely duplicate records and list them separately rather than silently removing them. 3. Group comments into themes and sub-themes. Give each theme a neutral name, a short explanation, the number of records supporting it, and representative quotations with their source and record ID. 4. Separate praise, complaints, requests, questions and neutral observations. 5. Identify differences between sources, including themes that appear in only one source. 6. If numerical ratings or NPS scores are supplied, calculate only from the supplied values, show the calculation and state the denominator. Do not invent missing scores or treat text sentiment as an NPS score. 7. Flag ambiguous comments, conflicting evidence, missing fields, possible sampling bias and any conclusion that cannot be supported by the supplied data. 8. Rank the findings by evidence strength and likely customer-service importance, but do not claim to know financial impact or customer intent unless the data supports it. 9. End with a table of recommended follow-up actions. For each action, include the evidence, the owner to assign, the data needed to confirm it and a proposed check before making a service change. Rules: - Use only the supplied data. - Preserve source labels and record IDs so every finding can be checked. - Do not expose names, email addresses, phone numbers or other unnecessary personal data; replace them with [REDACTED]. - Do not present correlation as causation. - If the data is insufficient, say exactly what is missing. - Keep the report concise but show enough evidence for a colleague to audit it.

What it gets wrong
- AI cannot know whether a small number of severe complaints matter more than a larger number of minor comments without your business context.
- It cannot reliably distinguish sarcasm, customer-specific history and implied requests when the wording is ambiguous.
- It cannot access every source system unless you export or connect the data and provide the necessary permissions.
- It can make a theme look well supported by repeating similar comments, so counts and representative quotations need checking against the raw records.
- It cannot take responsibility for prioritising service changes or deciding which customer needs a personal response.

How we scored this
Five axes, each scored nought to two by hand: ten means AI carries the task cleanly, and the thresholds that turn a total into YES, PARTLY or NO are published in the methodology. Each axis name links to its definition.
| Axis | Score (0–2) |

| Output | 2 |
| Inputs | 1 |
| Verification | 1 |
| Liability | 1 |
| Effort delta | 2 |

FAQ
- Can ChatGPT analyse feedback from different platforms?
- Yes, if you export or paste the feedback in a usable format. It can group comments across surveys, reviews, support tickets and transcripts, but you must preserve source labels and check the result against the original records.
- Can AI combine survey responses and customer reviews?
- Partly. AI can produce a combined set of themes and compare the sources, but different questions, audiences and date ranges can make the comparison misleading unless you identify those differences first.
- Can AI calculate NPS from customer feedback?
- It can calculate NPS when you supply the actual rating values and the scale, provided it shows the calculation and denominator. It cannot turn ordinary written comments into a valid NPS score or safely fill in missing ratings.
- Is it safe to upload customer feedback to AI?
- Only after removing unnecessary personal data and checking your organisation's rules for external AI tools. Use record IDs instead of names and do not upload information that the task does not need.
