# 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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**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.
{% endhint %}

**To generate AI notable moments:**

{% stepper %}
{% step %}
Navigate to the **Responses** tab of your study.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click the **AI settings** button in the top-right corner.
{% endstep %}

{% step %}
Click **Start AI analysis**.

{% endstep %}
{% endstepper %}

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.

{% hint style="info" %}
**Note:** Notable moments are not available for sessions uploaded manually to an interview study, only those conducted using the Dscout platform.
{% endhint %}

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:

Click any moment to see it in the context of the full transcript.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.

Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:

```
GET https://help.dscout.com/dscout-ai/built-in-ai-features/ai-notable-moments.md?ask=<question>&goal=<endgoal>
```

`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.

The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.

Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
