1764 – The Future of AI-Powered Feedback with Ryan Glasgow

In this episode of the Thoughtful Entrepreneur, your host Josh Elledge speaks with the Founder & CEO of Sprig, Ryan Glasgow. Sprig is a platform that helps businesses gather user feedback through in-product surveys, session replays, and data analysis with artificial intelligence. They've worked with big names like Netflix, Dropbox, Robinhood, Coinbase, and Peloton, ensuring these companies get a representative sample of user experiences. Ryan shared that Sprig has an impressive response rate of 33% for their surveys. He compared this to platforms like Yelp, where only a small percentage of users leave reviews, but those reviews are generally accurate representations of the overall experience. Ryan emphasized the importance of understanding user experience. He cited companies that have faced backlash and struggled due to a lack of customer perception. In his view, companies that don't prioritize understanding their customers may lack empathy and risk falling behind in a competitive and challenging economic environment. One of the most exciting aspects of Sprig is its implementation of AI for data analysis. Ryan explained that they use advanced AI models to summarize and analyze large amounts of survey data. This provides meaningful insights and even suggestions for improving the product experience. The potential for conversations with AI entities that understand the data and can help make decisions based on customer feedback is groundbreaking.
