Software companies can use tinyDialog on their Notion documentation to identify unclear parts in their documentation. By collecting specific feedback on each page, they can, for example, discover that their API documentation is confusing to new users. After revising based on the feedback, they can periodically check their metrics and monitor if the average feedback improves and support tickets decrease.
