Making it easier for businesses everywhere to hear customer voice
Our Story
At Essense, we were founded on a fundamental belief that every business in the world can truly become customer-obsessed. And that when you follow the customer, everything else follows.
But we know from firsthand experience, that it's easier said than done. Despite every company claiming to prioritize customers, the reality is that it is too time consuming & expensive to gather and analyze the voice of the customer, and so its done sporadically, and typically only by large companies.
Today, we stand at a historic juncture. With the advent of large language models (LLMs), we now have the opportunity to bring about a paradigm shift in how we analyze user voice. At Essense, we want to do for user voice data what Google Analytics did for weblogs- make it very easy for anyone to understand their customers.
Our vision is to give every small business, startup, or enterprise the power of a real user, customer, or market research team - something that was previously only available to big companies. With Essense, you have the tools to not just listen to your customers, but truly understand them, acting on insights that can help shape the future of your product, and ultimately, your business. Together, we can make every voice count, and every product or service better. That's the Essense difference.
