From Chaos to Clarity: How LLMs Transform Unstructured Data

Every business generates unstructured data—emails, customer reviews, meeting notes, PDFs, chat logs, etc. Unlike structured data, this information doesn’t fit neatly into rows and columns, making analysis more challenging. Yet it holds valuable insights that often go untapped.

Tools powered by Large Language Models (LLMs) are changing that. Storytell turns unstructured data into actionable insights by using LLMs to process, organize, and summarize content quickly and effectively.

What is unstructured data?

Unstructured data includes freeform content that lacks a predefined format. In contrast, structured data—like CRM records and sales logs—follows a consistent structure, making it easier to analyze. While structured data often explains what happened, unstructured data helps uncover why.

Unstructured data makes up 80% of all business information. Without tools to analyze it, businesses miss key insights hidden in customer feedback, notes, and other documents.

How LLMs process unstructured data

LLMs are AI systems built to understand and interpret human language. By analyzing context, they grasp meaning, tone, and intent—capabilities traditional tools lack.

Here’s how LLMs help:

  • Summarizing: Condensing long reports, meetings, or feedback into clear takeaways.
  • Categorizing: Organizing responses, transcripts, or reviews into themes.
  • Analyzing sentiment: Determining positive, neutral, or negative feedback.
  • Generating content: Transforming raw notes into polished drafts.

For example, LLMs can process thousands of customer tickets, identifying patterns and trends in hours instead of days.
