Kanjoya was an enterprise software-as-a-service (SaaS) company that developed natural language processing (NLP) based artificial intelligence to understand, measure, and improve customer and employee experience. Founded in 2006 by Armen Berjikly, the company was acquired by Ultimate Software in 2016.[2][3]
History
Headquartered in San Francisco, Kanjoya's vision was to deliver "empathy through technology."[4] The company's core intellectual property was a significant advance in sentiment analysis enabling real-time recognition of over 100 human emotions in written text, with greater accuracy than could be expected of human analysts.[5]
In its development phase, preliminary applications of Kanjoya's technology included measuring the emotional reaction of audiences during political debates,[6] understanding how advertisements made consumers feel,[7] and analyzing consumer sentiment to successfully predict future actions of the Federal Reserve Board.[8]
Eventually, Kanjoya focused product development on understanding employee sentiment in the workplace,[9] through inputs including open-ended survey questions and performance reviews.
