Software leaders who are building applications based on Large Language Models (LLMs) often find it a challenge to achieve reliability.

If you can’t identify it, you can’t fix it! 💡 That’s where the Voice of the Customer (VoC) comes in. Today, far too many brands do VoC simply because that’s what they think they’re supposed to do; that’s what all their competitors do.
