AI Topics Deep Dive: Customizing & Analyzing Open-End Themes

Generating AI Topics

Start by turning raw open-end text into actionable insights.

1. Toggle AI Topics on from the Tree Map view.

2. Click Generate AI Topics.

3. Panoplai will auto-detect themes and group responses into main topics and subtopics based on meaning—not just keywords.

Adjusting the AI Topics Framework

You're the expert! Refine the auto-generated structure to match your specific goals or audience:

• Add / Remove Topics/Subtopics: Insert your own categories.

• Reorganize the Hierarchy: Add & remove subtopics to different main topics.

• Upload Your Own Framework: Bring in a pre-defined structure from previous studies or stakeholders.

• Regenerate With AI: Click Detect Topics With AI if you want to overwrite the current structure.

Assign Comments to Topics

After making adjustments to your framework, you'll need to analyze comments to recategorize comments into the new framework.

You’ll see two options:

1. Regenerate AI Topics + Assign Comments
   1. Use this if you’re starting fresh and want to completely re-code both the framework and the responses.
2. Use Existing AI Topics + Assign Comments
   1. Use this option after making manual edits to the framework.
      1. You’ll then choose to:
         1. Assign All Comments: Use this to recategorize all comments.
         2. Assign Only Unassigned Comments: Use this to categorize only unassigned comments.

Analyze

Once comments are assigned, you can:

• View volume counts for each topic

• Click each topic to open to all subtopics

• Click into tiles to filter to all related comments

• Toggle to "Table" view to see a bar chart of the topics
