## **🏢 Enterprise Use Cases**

### **1. Customer Feedback Analysis**

```python
from lingo import Pipeline, TextPreprocessor

# Analyze customer feedback
feedback_analyzer = Pipeline(
    task="sentiment-analysis",
    model="cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest"
)

feedback = "The app crashes every time I try to upload a file. This is urgent!"
result = feedback_analyzer(feedback)

# Extract insights
sentiment = result['label']
confidence = result['score']
priority = 'high' if sentiment == 'NEGATIVE' and confidence > 0.8 else 'normal'
```

### **2. Document Intelligence**

```python
from lingo import Pipeline

# Process documents comprehensively
doc_processor = Pipeline(
    task="ner",
    model="dslim/bert-base-NER"
)

document = "Apple Inc. CEO Tim Cook announced new products at WWDC 2024."
entities = doc_processor(document)

# Extract key information
organizations = [e['word'] for e in entities if e['entity_group'] == 'ORG']
people = [e['word'] for e in entities if e['entity_group'] == 'PER']
```

### **3. Content Recommendation**

```python
from lingo import Pipeline
import numpy as np

# Generate content embeddings
embedding_pipeline = Pipeline(
    task="embedding",
    model="sentence-transformers/all-MiniLM-L6-v2"
)

# Find similar content
query = "machine learning applications"
query_embedding = embedding_pipeline(query)

# Calculate similarities with existing content
similarities = []
for content in content_database:
    content_embedding = embedding_pipeline(content)
    similarity = np.dot(query_embedding, content_embedding)
    similarities.append((content, similarity))

# Sort by similarity
recommendations = sorted(similarities, key=lambda x: x[1], reverse=True)
```

### **4. Social Media Monitoring**

```python
from lingo import Pipeline

# Monitor social media sentiment
sentiment_pipeline = Pipeline(
    task="sentiment-analysis",
    model="cardiffnlp/twitter-roberta-base-sentiment-latest"
)

# Process social media posts
posts = [
    "Love the new product! #amazing #innovation",
    "Terrible customer service experience",
    "Great features but expensive"
]

results = sentiment_pipeline.batch_predict(posts)

# Sample output:
# [{'label': 'POSITIVE', 'score': 0.988},
#  {'label': 'NEGATIVE', 'score': 0.956},
#  {'label': 'NEGATIVE', 'score': 0.901}]

# Analyze trends
positive_count = sum(1 for r in results if r['label'] == 'POSITIVE')
