\u201cEven once you have that data, you\u2019re still stuck with the bigger question of how users actually interact with your product so you can make it better,\u201d Chaturvedi told TechCrunch. He believes their platform offers companies a \u201creal understanding of how people use their products.\u201d<\/p>\n
