TIME-SERIES DATA DRIVEN CONVERSATIONAL CHAT ANALYTICS
2024, Journal ijetrm
Abstract
As of 2024, WhatsApp has over 2 billion monthly active users, making it one of the most widely used messaging platforms globally. In addition, more than 100 billion messages are sent daily on the app, highlighting its integral role in daily communication (K. Kaushik and Y. Katara, 2022 [4]) This project aims on innovating an approach for analyzing WhatsApp chat data, providing users with a powerful tool to upload their chat histories in text format and receive detailed analytical reports through interactive visualizations. The application serves as an engine for comprehensive data analysis, examining critical aspects of WhatsApp conversations. Users can access insights related to the total number of messages exchanged, the overall word count, and the number of media files and links shared within the chats. Moreover, the tool features timeline analyses that display chat activity on a daily, weekly, and monthly basis, allowing contributors to understand patterns in their communications over time. It identifies the busiest days and months, helping users pinpoint when their conversations are most active, as well as highlighting the most engaged users within their groups. Additional features include an exploration of common and top words used in conversations and detailed emoji analysis, which offers a fun yet insightful view of emotional expressions in chats. The project is to be built using Python for robust data analysis and MERN stack or creating a user-friendly, interactive web application. This platform is particularly advantageous for institutions and businesses that leverage WhatsApp as a communication channel, as it offers a clear and concise view of customer interactions, marketing efforts, and group dynamics. By providing valuable insights into chat patterns and user engagement, the project empowers users to make informed, data-driven decisions, for improving communication effectiveness with scope for enhancing their overall business strategies. Ultimately, this project not only addresses the need for analytical tools in WhatsApp but also opens up avenues for optimizing user interactions and driving better outcomes in a fast-paced digital environment across multiple conversational avenues.
