Howzer v2.5.5-DE: half the download, and every install identical

Howzer v2.5.4-DE: a new model generation, trained on real feedback

Mixed feedback is now read correctly 91 percent of the time instead of 40, wholehearted praise no longer lands in the crisis pile, and an important sentence buried in a long message is no longer missed.

Howzer v2.5.3-DE: the quality release, and a system that admits its limits

Seven failures that never announced themselves are fixed. Reports are fully German and print-ready, the installation is around 6.3 GB smaller, and an analysis that cannot do its job says so instead of quietly delivering something worse.

Getting your data in: spreadsheets, fifty names for email, and what German text hides

Spreadsheets import exactly as they were exported. Over 50 channel labels fold into nine. Postcode, city, reference numbers and urgency are read straight out of the running text.

Alerts that fire on the first signal, not the hundredth

Seven rules watch the live stream: the single customer about to leave, and the pattern across many messages that no individual message reveals.

Risk scoring: how we learned to hear a polite threat

The first version looked for words like cancel and lawyer. Today risk is read from the shape of a conversation rather than from its vocabulary.

Why one model for every language does not work for customer feedback

We tried the obvious approach first: one large multilingual model. Good benchmark numbers, disappointing results on real messages. Here is what it kept missing.

Howzer v2.2: English becomes equal to German

Not a translation layer: English messages are read by models calibrated for English, and every message reaches the right pipeline automatically.

Connectors: bringing your data in without opening your network

Your messages live in mailboxes, chats and ticketing systems. Getting them into Howzer should not cost a firewall exception, or a copy of your data sitting at a vendor.

Redaction is not a setting but the first step, before any model sees a single word. The quality of the analysis is unaffected.

Howzer v2.1 preview: watch risk as it happens

The preview shows two things: risk while it is still forming rather than in tomorrow morning summary, and the path from a scored message to an approved answer.

Service teams are not indifferent, they are outnumbered. Our answer is a system that reads every message properly and hands the human a clear picture instead of answering for them.
