AI Summaries of Text Columns

When viewing a text column, you will see a button: Get AI Summary

Click this button and we will start creating an AI summary of all your data.

If your data has about 20,000 words, then your summary will be returned right away:

For larger datasets, AddMaple will take some time (from 30 seconds to an hour depending on the size of the data). To speed up processing, you can filter your dataset in AddMaple and request a summary for just your filtered data.

Once the processing has been completed you will receive an email and will be able to view the summary from the My Insights section of your project.

Ask follow-up questions

After your initial summary is ready, you can ask follow-up questions directly from the summary view:

  • Use the input labeled "Ask a follow-up…" at the bottom of the results
  • Click Ask to submit your question
  • Each reply will be added below the summary and labeled as "Follow-up 1", "Follow-up 2", etc.

Follow-ups use the same context as your original summary, so you can drill into specific topics (e.g. "Which themes were most common among detractors?"). You can also click ← Edit Prompt to change the original instruction and regenerate the summary if you want to take the analysis in a new direction.

The Copy, Word Doc, and Save actions include any follow-up answers that appear in the results.
