Short answer

How can I use my AI to label text sentiment and topics?

Your AI calls your custom MonkeyLearn classifiers to assign labels to incoming text. You'll get specific sentiment scores and category tags for every piece of text you process. This setup turns raw text into structured data.

The outcomes.

Where your data lands.

The AI processes text through your specific classifiers to produce these results.

SENTIMENT

Emotional tone detected

The AI identifies if text is positive, negative, or neutral. You get clear sentiment labels for every input.

TOPIC

Subject matter identified

The AI sorts text into your custom categories. This keeps your data organized by subject automatically.

TAGS

Specific metadata added

The AI pulls specific tags from your classifiers. You can use these to filter or group your results later.

HUMAN

Manual review needed

If the AI returns low confidence or no matching tags, you decide how to handle the text. The AI won't force a label that doesn't fit.

The workflow

What your AI does when text arrives.

The AI acts as the bridge between your raw text and your MonkeyLearn models.

  1. Find your models

    The AI looks through your MonkeyLearn account to see which classifiers you have set up and ready to use.

    list_classifiers

  2. Check available tags

    The AI identifies the specific labels and categories available within your chosen classifiers.

    list_classifier_tags

  3. Run the analysis

    The AI sends your text to the specific classifier to get the sentiment or topic results.

    classify_text

  4. Deliver the labels

    The AI presents the resulting sentiment and category tags directly in your chat interface.

FAQ

How this task behaves.

  • 01

    Can the AI create new classifiers in MonkeyLearn?

    No. The AI can only use the classifiers you have already created and configured in your MonkeyLearn account.

  • 02

    Will the AI change my existing labels?

    No. The AI only reads your classifiers and tags to perform the classification. It cannot edit or delete your MonkeyLearn settings.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which classifier to use?

    You tell the AI which classifier to use in your prompt, or it can list your available classifiers to help you decide.

  • 04

    Can the AI automatically save these results to a database?

    The AI can read the results and show them to you, but it cannot write data back to MonkeyLearn or other external databases itself.

  • 05

    What happens if the text doesn't match any topic?

    The AI will report the results based on what the classifier returns. If no tags match, it will tell you that no classification was found.
