Do you know what makes a great product?
It’s user feedback, and there are multiple ways to collect these, but one of the best ways of doing this is by actively listening to your users on platforms where they are already talking about you, such as Discord, Slack, Crisp, Intercom, Telegram, etc.
By listening to your users actively, you can get an insight into what they are talking about, what they hate, want, or would like to have.

Why Listen To Users On Community Channels?
By listening to your users in communities, you can gain valuable insights into their needs and preferences, which can help you improve your product to meet their expectations better.
Additionally, actively engaging with your users can help build a sense of community around your product and increase brand loyalty. When users understand that product decisions are made based on their inputs, they feel they are valued and stay close to the product.
How To Listen To Users On Community Channels?
Listening to thousands of users over various platforms can be tiring and requires a team if done manually.
To solve this issue, some CSM (customer support tools), such as FreshDesk, came up with a solution to listen to socials without leaving their tool, but there was a major flaw, almost all these have limited integration. Another issue is that this process still needs you to go through all the user inputs one by one.
So what’s the solution?
The best solution to this problem is Olvy, as it not just integrates with various platforms like Telegram, Slack, Discord, Crisp, Intercom, etc. but also provides a summary of what users are talking about.
The whole process is taken care of by Olvy’s AI stack, which helps save time that one would have spent by going through all user inputs one by one.
