Smart Insights: Qualitative Analysis with open-ended question types

Smart Insights works best with forms set to English. While we do offer limited support for forms set to non English languages, we can’t guarantee the quality.

While there is no set minimum number of responses required for qualitative analysis, it’s most effective with higher volumes of data.

Safeguarding customer data and enabling Qualitative Analysis

​​We're using a private copy of Anthropic's Claude 3.5 Sonnet model to perform this analysis. No data collected is used to train the model, ensuring the privacy and integrity of the data. With this private copy of the model, Anthropic is not a subprocessor of any data and does not have access to any analysis.

For more information, see our terms and conditions.

Before using the Qualitative Analysis feature in Smart Insights, make sure the Qualitative Insights option is turned on in your Admin settings. This setting will apply to all forms and workspaces within your organization. For customers on Core Enterprise and Growth Custom plans, this option will be turned off by default. For customers on Growth Essentials and Growth Pro plans, this option will be turned on by default.

You must be an Admin or Owner in your organization to turn the Qualitative Insights option on or off.

If you change your Typeform plan and have not previously altered the default settings for Qualitative Insights, your account will automatically adopt the default settings of the new plan. However, if you have previously modified these settings, your new plan will retain the settings you selected.

Even if the default toggle for Qualitative Insights is enabled, your data won't be sent to the AI model unless you actively use the feature. Specifically, the data transmission and analysis are initiated when you click on the Smart Insights tab.

Understanding your dashboards: Qualitative Analysis

Qualitative Analysis lets you quickly see the main topics mentioned by your respondents in their answers to open-ended questions. It saves you time by surfacing key insights quickly, allowing for faster decision-making and a deeper understanding of your customers.

For example, if your form asks, “Is there anything we could do to improve?”, with Qualitative Analysis you’ll be able to get a quick snapshot of the main topics highlighted by your respondents and what your main areas of focus should be, without having to delve into each individual response.

The following open-ended question types are supported for Qualitative Analysis:

- Short Text

- Long Text

- Video Answers

Under each open-ended question, you’ll find a table with the following columns:

- Topic

- Description

- Responses

Each question has up to 6 topics that are generated by AI and a brief description of each topic. The table also shows the number of responses that relate to each topic.

Smart Insights: Quantitative Analysis with closed-ended question types

For Smart Insights to interpret responses to your closed-ended questions, the following criteria must be met:

- The form is written in English

- You've received a minimum of 25 responses to the form in the last 90 days.

- The form contains at least 2 non-open-ended question types (question types with pre-determined answers. For example, Multiple Choice and Rating.)

Safeguarding Customer Data: Quantitative Analysis

At Typeform, we're committed to maintaining the highest standards of privacy and security. For responses to closed-ended questions, we’ve incorporated a question filter into Smart Insights to identify and exclude any question types that could contain personally identifiable data (PII), like email addresses, phone numbers, or open-ended text responses. This filter ensures that sensitive respondent data is not exposed to external language models. 

Additionally, we avoid sharing individual-level data and instead use aggregated data for generating reports. For example, instead of revealing the age group of a specific respondent, we provide summary insights, such as “10 respondents are in the 20–30 age group." This method allows us to provide valuable insights while protecting the confidentiality of customer data.

In our form, we’re gathering customer feedback for our Indian restaurant. We asked the AI: “Which dish should we make more of, and which dish should we stop making?”

The AI analyzed the feedback and responded: “The dish to make more of is Chana Masala, as it has the highest total count of 636. The dish to consider stopping is Palak paneer, as it has the lowest count among the named dishes at 557. The skipped or unanswered count is negligible and does not significantly impact the analysis.”

A bar chart accompanied the response, illustrating the popularity of each dish clearly, and making it easier to understand customer preferences at a glance.
