Our Story
Delivering insights and sharing our vision to all our clients around the world.
Ever since Kai Analytics was founded in 2017, our goal has remained the same: leverage natural language processing technologies to make qualitative research a breeze.
We bring you a hand-crafted analysis of your customer feedback to create a stellar customer experience. Our process is personalized and is tailored to what matters most in your organization.
Core Values
1
We don’t just summarize results from your data, we tell you the story behind it.
2
We deliver end-to-end services — from survey design and analysis to reporting.
3
We use software to improve our efficiency, but our analysis is always made by a human.
Unique Method
With the help of our custom-made qualitative data analysis platform, Unigrams, we can quickly and efficiently sort your data. We then analyze it and present it in the most approachable way possible so you can use your data intelligently.
Commitment to Diversity
Kai Analytics is committed to having a team that reflects the communities in which we live and work, and is an equal opportunity employer. In fact, diversity is what drives our success – it’s at the core of how we hire, communicate, and work. We also support the Government of Canada Youth Employment and Skills Strategy and are an employer of the Digital Skills for Youth Program. We are proud to say that our diversity and inclusion initiative is that no job-hiring process will end until a minority candidate is interviewed.
