I am trying to get a realistic read on which tools are best for summarizing customer interviews.
Cover transcript handling, theme extraction, privacy, and evidence trails.
What has actually worked (or failed) for your team? Specific examples, pricing traps, or vendor claims that did not hold up are especially useful.

Document what 'done' means for the workflow. We shipped an agent that 'worked' but still required a human to close the loop every time — zero net time saved.

If you are non-technical, demand a sandbox with sample data and a 30-minute setup path. Anything that needs a solutions engineer for the first win will stall on a small team.

Source quality beat model size for us. Clean knowledge + tool scopes fixed more hallucinations than switching models.

Start with one bounded workflow that has a clear success metric. We tried to automate three use cases at once and none of them got good enough to ship.
