“Analysis was actually really great... the platform learned and understood the conversation flow pretty soon and accurately. So when I prompted, it accurately answered the questions and provided quotes that accurately reflected what I was trying to capture. The synthesis reflected what I was hoping for summarize, as a moderator and analyst.”
“We used specialized platforms only for a few projects when clients demanded it. When I realized how much we had spent on these platforms in 2022, I decided to search for a better option. I spent days looking at several platforms out there, and the platform that I found to be meeting all our needs was flowres.”
“I took the same questions from my interview guideline and asked them to that collective set of 20-plus interviews. I was able to catch nuances- see the thread and the corresponding quotes. Digging in, uncovering, discovering. A perfect example of human-centered AI: I'm in the driver's seat.”
“What I appreciate most is that the technology doesn’t replace the researcher. We’re still reading, questioning, checking themes against the transcripts, looking for contradictory evidence, and discussing where our interpretations differ. flowres.io helps us get closer to the data and makes it easier to explore patterns across a large body of qualitative work. And that is exactly how I want to use AI in research: not to hand over thinking, but to give researchers more capacity to think.”
“There's so many examples of how supported we felt and how we really appreciated ways of working that you guys demonstrated to us. There's several times the Tech team went over and above, to help work with the tool.”
