Product-Led Growth: Use AI to Detect UX Friction Before Churn

Turn hidden friction into visible action.

BLUF: Churn is often caused by silent friction. Conversational analytics lets you ask where users struggle and fix it before it shows up in revenue loss.

Key takeaways
  • Churn starts with invisible UX friction
  • Logs explain what, not where users are stuck
  • AI questions expose patterns in hours, not weeks

The silent friction problem

Enterprise users rarely complain. They just leave. The gap between friction and churn is where revenue disappears.

Most teams only learn about the issue after the renewal is already lost.

Ask the question before you lose the account: where did enterprise users stall this week?

Why dashboards miss the story

Dashboards show aggregate trends but hide the specific steps where users struggle. Raw logs are too large to interpret quickly.

This delays action and leaves teams guessing about the real cause of churn.
