5 Ways AI Can Improve Your CSAT Score

What Is CSAT?

CSAT (Customer Satisfaction Score) is a metric used to measure how satisfied customers are with a company’s products, services, or interactions. It is typically collected through short surveys that ask customers to rate their experience immediately after a transaction, support interaction, or purchase.

Factors that affect CSAT score

There are several reasons why your CSAT scores might be affected. At Mevrik, we group them into three categories:

1. Product quality

Customer Satisfaction (CSAT) is strongly shaped by how customers experience the product. For example, a chest of drawers that is practical and visually appealing creates satisfaction because it aligns with the customer's usage. In contrast, a handbag with weak stitching that unravels within a week signals poor quality and leads to dissatisfaction.

You can create quality by viewing your product across three dimensions: expectations, use experience, and longevity. Expectations reflect what customers believe the product will deliver before purchase. Use experience is about how intuitive, enjoyable, or frustrating the product feels when used. Longevity refers to durability, reliability, and continued performance over time. 

With all three dimensions addressed in the design and execution of a product, the result is a better customer experience and stronger CSAT scores.

2. Customer support

Support interactions often define how customers view the company as a whole, making this area a critical driver of CSAT. 

A quick, knowledgeable response can leave customers feeling valued and understood, raising their satisfaction even if they initially faced a product problem. On the other hand, delayed responses or unhelpful guidance can quickly turn a small issue into a major source of dissatisfaction.

Now, the amount of customer support required varies from industry to industry. For e-commerce, customers often expect quick resolutions through chat or email to questions about orders, returns, or delivery updates. For software-as-a-service, support usually involves more technical guidance.

Either way, the principle remains the same: customers want their issues handled efficiently and with care. Businesses that meet this expectation consistently see higher CSAT scores.

3. External factors

Even when products are reliable and support is strong, customer satisfaction can still be influenced by market dynamics. Economic downturns or supply chain challenges can impact how customers perceive value. 

Also, competitors introducing new features, offering lower prices, or creating more convenient experiences can raise the standard customers use for comparison, which in turn affects CSAT.

While these factors are often outside a company’s direct control, the way a business responds matters. Staying aware of competitor offerings, adapting to changing customer expectations, and communicating transparently during market disruptions can help maintain trust.

5 ways to improve CSAT scores

Customer support is one of the most controllable factors influencing CSAT, and with AI booming, it has become one of the powerful ways to optimize it. Here are five ways AI can help businesses improve customer satisfaction

1.Chatbots

One of the easiest ways to boost your CSAT is by offering fast, reliable support, and that’s exactly what chatbots do. They can quickly understand a customer’s problem and suggest troubleshooting steps, often resolving issues instantly without making the customer wait.

Creating a chatbot has also become easier than ever. At Mevrik, you can simply add a name and an information source, and you instantly have a highly personalized, real-time chatbot ready to assist customers. 

What’s more, you can keep a human in the loop for more complex issues, ensuring that customers always get the right level of support while maintaining a seamless experience.

2.Sentiment analysis

One key usage of AI is sentiment analysis, which is used to analyze the emotions expressed in customer reviews, emails, and social media mentions. But rather than simply detecting whether something is positive or negative, AI detects more subtle emotions, anger, confusion, and delight in customer comments.

For example, a company can use a feedback analysis tool to sift through mountains of customer feedback. This then helps you spot recurring pain points, understand what customers love, and make data-driven decisions to improve products and support.

Plus, by keeping an eye on what people are saying about competitors, businesses can uncover market gaps and see where competitors are crushing it or falling flat to make smarter moves to improve their own CSAT scores.

3. AI automation builder

For years, professionals have relied on drag-and-drop builders to set up each element of an automation workflow. While effective, it often required multiple clicks and manual configuration for every step.

These days, most platforms let you build entire workflows simply by typing a prompt. You describe how you want the flow to work, and the system generates the complete automation in seconds. 

For example, you could write: “When a new support ticket about billing comes in, tag it as high priority, send an acknowledgment email to the customer, and notify the finance team on Slack.” The platform instantly creates the full workflow, eliminating repetitive setup and speeding up your automation process.

4.AI Summarizer

For support teams, it takes a lot of time to sift through all previous customer information, which in turn slows down response time and frustrates customers. AI Summarizer offers an instant solution by condensing this content into clear, actionable summaries. 

Using natural language processing, it analyzes the conversation, highlights key points, and presents them in a concise format, giving agents everything they need at a glance.

At Mevrik, we offer a feature called Summary which makes the process even easier. During every customer interaction, it automatically generates a complete summary of the conversation. This means your support team can instantly understand what the customer discussed, identify their concerns, and respond accurately and efficiently.

5.AI writing tools

Writing clear responses that are also helpful can be time-consuming, especially when agents are handling multiple tickets at once. AI writing tools act as a support assistant, generating drafts, suggestions, or even full responses based on the context of the conversation.

At Mevrik, our AI writing tools integrate seamlessly into support workflows. Agents can type a quick prompt or let the AI draft a reply, then make adjustments if needed before sending. This approach not only speeds up response times but also maintains a high level of personalization.

Final thoughts

If your support team is small and ticket volume is low, basic tools might be enough to keep CSAT scores steady. A simple email inbox or spreadsheet can work when interactions are manageable, and there’s little need for automation or AI-powered insights.

But once customer interactions start to scale, delays, inconsistent responses, and missed issues can drag down satisfaction. That’s when AI-powered tools like Mevrik become essential. They help your team respond faster, personalize every interaction, and identify recurring pain points that might otherwise go unnoticed.

You don’t have to wait for complaints to pile up. Start exploring Mevrik AI solutions today to improve CSAT scoring and deliver a consistently exceptional support experience.
