Ask at the right moment, every time:
and never miss an unhappy customer
Feedback requests sent at the wrong moment, or not sent at all, mean most businesses only hear from customers who are angry enough to complain unprompted. An agent asks at a well-timed moment after a purchase, scores the response, and flags detractors for a human to follow up. That happens before quiet dissatisfaction turns into a lost customer.
Why feedback requests miss their moment
Most feedback requests go out on a fixed schedule, with no regard for whether the customer actually had time to form an opinion yet. Ask too soon after a purchase and the question gets ignored. Ask too long after and the memory of the experience has already faded. Teams that review this usually find response rates sit well below what a well-timed ask would get. Customers do have opinions. The timing just missed the window where they were willing to share one.
What happens to the answers once they arrive matters just as much. A low score with a comment attached is exactly the signal a business most needs to act on quickly. Too often it sits in a spreadsheet or a dashboard that nobody checks daily. A customer who flagged a real problem gets no follow-up at all, and quietly does not come back.
Most businesses only hear from the extremes without prompting: the very happy and the very angry. The much larger middle group would give useful, specific feedback if asked at the right moment. They just never get asked in a way that fits into their day.
What happens when a request goes out
The agent sends a short feedback or NPS request at a moment tied to your actual service cycle, instead of a fixed calendar default. That might be a few days after delivery, or right after a service appointment, whatever interval your business has found customers are actually ready to answer. The request goes in the channel the customer already used, so answering takes one tap, not a redirect to a separate survey tool.
Responses are scored against a standard scale, or a custom one your team defines, and categorized: promoters, passives, detractors. A detractor score, especially one with a comment attached, triggers an immediate flag to a human, with the full response attached. A follow-up can happen within the hour, instead of being noticed at the end of the week in a dashboard review.
For a promoter response, the agent can route the customer toward leaving a public review: Google, a marketplace, a local directory, whichever your business actually cares about. A genuinely happy customer’s goodwill does not go to waste that way.
All responses, scores and comments are written into a dashboard or your CRM, broken down by product, service line or time period. Your team sees the trend, not just individual scores.
What stays a human conversation
Reaching out to a detractor is a human conversation, not an automated apology message. The agent flags and provides context. A person decides how to make it right, including any compensation or exception to policy. Deciding what counts as a good enough reason to follow up, beyond the score itself, stays with your team, as does any public response to a review.
What’s logged and what never gets suppressed
The agent introduces itself as an AI assistant at the start of every conversation. Every request sent and every response received is logged, with the timing rule that triggered it, so a feedback run can be reviewed end to end. Detractor alerts are never suppressed or batched. They go out the moment a low score lands. The timing rule runs in a trial period against real order data before go-live. A kill switch pauses the whole survey cycle if the timing needs rework.
Price and timeline

| Department package | from $2,500 | Feedback and NPS plus review replies and win-back of detractors | 2 to 4 weeks |
Running cost is typically $10 to $35 a month in model usage, since most of the work is scoring short responses rather than generating long text.

Pair this with review and reputation replies so a promoter’s feedback turns into a public review someone actually responds to. Win-back of inactive customers covers detractors who went quiet instead of replying at all.

FAQ
How much does feedback and NPS automation cost?
From $500 for one channel with a fixed timing rule and scoring, live in 3 to 6 days. Multiple product lines or touchpoints with different timing rules usually run $900 to $2,000.
How long before it is live?
3 to 6 days once we agree the right moment to ask for your business, delivery, service completion, or a set number of days after purchase. Most of the time goes into getting that timing right.
Which tools does it connect to?
Telegram, WhatsApp, email and SMS for sending the request, and your order or CRM system to trigger it at the right moment. Scored results land in a dashboard or spreadsheet.
What if the AI gets it wrong / is wrong?
Scoring follows a standard NPS or custom scale your team defines, with no interpretation beyond the number and comment the customer gave. Every detractor response is flagged for a human, never auto-replied to with a templated apology alone.
Is customer feedback data safe?
Responses are stored in your own CRM or dashboard, not a separate third-party survey tool, unless you already use one. Every request sent and response received is logged.
