Each question or session from your study is listed in the left sidebar. All are selected by default at the start of your chat, but you can select or deselect any here to have Dscout AI only focus on those.
You can specify questions or sessions in your prompts to Dscout AI. However, any questions or sessions you reference must also be selected in the left sidebar.
Review response sources
When Dscout AI provides a response, it will cite its sources so you can take a closer look at where the data came from. Sources lead directly to individual participant responses or sessions so you can see the larger context.
To review response sources, click See more beneath the response from Dscout AI:
That response’s sources are displayed in a modal. Click a source to go straight to that response. Take note of the question number provided for each source. This will help you locate the applicable question in the participant’s response.
Or, click a participant’s name to go to their session:
Rate chat responses
To help improve the quality of Dscout AI’s responses, you can rate every response it provides to you. If a response was good, give it a thumbs up. If a response was bad, give it a thumbs down.
