Qualitative Research with AI | Enhance Your Insights

In an environment where data is abundant but true insights are scarce, qualitative research remains key to understanding the consumer. What motivates their decisions? What emotions are behind their choices? Today, thanks to artificial intelligence (AI), we can explore these questions more deeply, quickly, and efficiently.

What is qualitative research with AI?

Traditional qualitative research relies on methods like interviews, focus groups, or online communities to capture perceptions, emotions, and motivations. With the incorporation of AI, these techniques are amplified: the analysis of large volumes of text, voice, or video becomes more agile, precise, and scalable. The result? More time for strategic interpretation, less for manual processing.

Key applications of AI in qualitative studies

• Automatic text analysis: Natural language processing (NLP) algorithms identify patterns, themes, and sentiments in open-ended responses.

• Intelligent transcription: Recorded interviews are automatically transcribed, with speaker identification and thematic tagging.

• Predictive coding: AI suggests categories or labels based on previous data, accelerating analysis.

• Emotional recognition in video: Technologies like facial coding detect facial expressions and emotions in real-time.

These tools do not replace the researcher, but rather empower them. Human intuition remains essential, but now it has more resources to make informed decisions.

Why combine AI with online communities?

Online communities offer a natural and collaborative environment where consumers share ideas, test products, or comment on campaigns. If you add AI to analyze the conversations, you can obtain qualitative insights continuously and in real-time. At Netquest, we integrate these approaches through Bilendi Discuss, our online qualitative research solution. With it, you can create moderated digital communities, analyze responses with AI, and take your insights to the next level.
