AI notable moments

Dscout’s AI identifies notable moments for usability tests, intercept studies, and interviews sessions. Notable moments are key comments or decisions that a participant makes during a study or session. For example, if a participant mentions they are having difficulty locating a specific element on a website, or if they don’t like a specific design, that’s considered a notable moment.

With notable moments, you can gain quick insight into the most important takeaways from a participant’s response. Plus, they serve as great suggestions for clips to use when making playlists of responses.

Usability tests and intercept studies

In usability tests and intercept studies, notable moments are generated on the study level. This means they will be generated for every applicable question at once. And once generated, the results will be available for all collaborators viewing the same study.

Note: Notable moments can only be generated once per study. We recommend waiting until your study has 15 or more responses before generating summaries, but you can do so with as few as five responses.

To generate AI notable moments:

1

Navigate to the Responses tab of your study.

2

Click the AI settings button in the top-right corner.

3

Click Start AI analysis.

Generating notable moments typically takes a few minutes, but it can take a few hours if you have a high number of responses. Once generated, you’ll find notable moments under the AI notable moments tab when viewing your responses. Here, you’ll see a list of important lines drawn from each task question in your study:

Click any moment to see it in the context of the full transcript for that participant’s response or to turn it into a clip. In the Transcript view, the notable moment is highlighted for easy identification.

Once generated, you can show or hide notable moments from view by returning to the AI settings menu.

Interview studies

In interview studies, notable moments are automatically generated at the end of each session.

Note: Notable moments are not available for sessions uploaded manually to an interview study, only those conducted using the Dscout platform.

Once generated, you’ll find them above the transcript for individual sessions:

You can also access notable moments from the AI notable moments drop-down:
