AI summaries

Available on Included in the Dscout AI add-on
Applies to Usability tests, media surveys, and diary studies

Dscout AI can generate summaries for individual questions or tasks in usability tests and media surveys as well as for individual activities in diary missions. These summaries offer at-a-glance recaps of participant responses, quickly cluing you in on important trends and takeaways.

Usability tests and media surveys

In usability tests and media surveys, summaries are generated on the mission 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 mission.

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

To generate AI summaries in a usability test or media survey:

  1. Navigate to the Responses tab of your mission.
  2. Click the AI settings button in the top-right corner.
  3. Click Start AI analysis.

Generating summaries typically takes a few minutes, but it can take a few hours if you have a high number of responses. When your results are ready, you’ll find them for open-ended, talk out loud, screen recording, and video questions on the Responses tab:

Usability tests will also display summaries for each individual task when viewing the transcript for a response on the Responses tab:

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

Diary studies

In diary studies, summaries are generated on the activity level. This means you can select specific activities to generate results for. Once generated, the results will be available for all collaborators viewing the same activity.

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

To generate AI summaries in a diary study:

  1. Navigate to the Analyze tab of your mission.
  2. Click the AI settings button in the top right corner.
  3. Select activities to analyze.
  4. Click Start AI analysis.

Generating summaries typically takes a few minutes, but it can take a few hours if you have a high number of responses. When your results are ready, you’ll find summaries for open-ended, screen recording, and video questions on the Entries tab:

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