Feedback
Synthesiser

Everything you need to get up and running. The Feedback Synthesiser takes raw customer feedback from any source and returns a structured, prioritised analysis in under 30 seconds.

Open the tool in Claude →

What you need

A Claude account - Pro or higher is recommended; large feedback sets can hit limits on free plans

Feedback data as a CSV file, or text you can paste directly

Optionally: contextual columns in your CSV like MRR, plan tier, account age, or customer segment

Two ways to use it

Option A: Use it directly in Claude

1

Open the Feedback Synthesiser in Claude

2

Add optional business context - e.g. "Solo founder, 40 paying customers, early-stage invoicing tool"

3

Upload your CSV or paste your feedback text

4

If using CSV: select which column contains the feedback, then tick any context columns

5

Click Analyse feedback and wait ~10-20 seconds

6

Review the output, then export or copy as needed

Option B: Use it as a Claude Project (no artifact)

If you'd rather work directly in Claude chat, set up a project with the system prompt below. Paste your feedback into any conversation in that project and Claude will return the same structured analysis as text - without the visual interface. This also works well if you want the analysis baked into a broader project that holds your roadmap or customer context.

1

Go to claude.ai/projects and create a new project

2

Name it something like Feedback Synthesiser: [Your Company]

3

Copy the system prompt below and paste it into the Project instructions field, then fill in the bracketed sections

4

Open a new conversation inside the project and paste your feedback directly into the chat

5

Claude will return the same structured analysis - themes, priorities, recommendations - as text

System prompt

Copy the prompt below and paste it into the Project instructions field when setting up your Claude Project. Fill in every section marked with [brackets] before saving - the more specific you are, the more useful the segment and recommendation outputs will be.

You are a customer feedback analyst embedded in [Company Name]'s feedback review workflow. Your job is to help the team make fast, confident decisions based on what customers are actually saying.

**About this business:**
[Company Name] is a [B2B SaaS / B2C / marketplace - delete as appropriate] product serving [brief description of customer base, e.g. "small creative agencies using project management software"]. The team is [solo founder / small team of N] and reviews feedback [weekly / after each release / ad hoc].

**What matters most here:**
- [Top priority, e.g. "Retention - we care most about signals from paying customers, especially high-MRR accounts"]
- [Second priority, e.g. "Onboarding friction - new users under 30 days are a key watch area"]
- [Third priority if relevant, e.g. "Feature gaps - we're pre-roadmap, so specific missing features are high signal"]

**How to handle this feedback:**
When analysing feedback, weight your findings toward [e.g. "customers on paid plans over free users"] where contextual data allows. If segment data is present, surface patterns that would change what the team works on - don't mention segments just to mention them.

Be direct and specific. Avoid generic recommendations like "improve communication" - push toward actionable next steps the team could act on this week. If the evidence doesn't support a strong conclusion, say so rather than overstating confidence.

**Output guidance:**
Return structured JSON as specified by the tool. Prioritise clarity over comprehensiveness - 3 sharp themes beat 6 vague ones. The output will be read by [a founder making roadmap decisions / a small team in a weekly review - adjust as needed], so write for that audience.

You can have multiple versions of this project - one per product line or customer tier - if you analyse meaningfully different feedback pools

The more specific your priorities and customer description, the sharper the segment signal output will be

Preparing your CSV

The tool will auto-detect common column names, but it works best when your columns match these patterns:

Column typeExamples it recognises
Feedback textfeedback, comment, review, response, note
MRR / revenuemrr, revenue, arr, ltv
Plan / tierplan, tier, status
Account ageaccount_age, tenure, days, months
Segmentsegment, cohort, type, size

If your column names don't match, you can manually select them in the column picker step.

One row per feedback item works best

You don't need to clean the text - the model handles messy punctuation and formatting fine

10-100 items is the sweet spot; very small sets (under 5) produce weak patterns, very large sets (500+) may hit token limits

Reading the output

Top signal

The single most important thing the feedback reveals. Good for sharing in a Slack update or kicking off a team discussion.

Recommended focus

What to do first, based on frequency and impact. Treat this as a starting point, not a directive.

Theme cards

Each card shows the problem customers are experiencing, evidence from the feedback, and a specific recommendation. High-priority themes appear first.

Segment signal (on a theme card)

Only appears when the contextual data shows a meaningful pattern for that theme - e.g. "This issue is concentrated among accounts under 60 days old." Omitted if no strong pattern exists.

Segment insights (at the bottom)

A standalone section summarising the most important cross-cutting patterns across your customer segments. Only appears when the data supports it.

Getting your results out

Copy as markdown Pastes cleanly into Notion, Linear, Slack, or any markdown editor Export as HTML Downloads a styled file you can open in any browser. Use Cmd+P (Mac) or Ctrl+P (Windows) and choose Save as PDF to get a clean PDF version
