The Topic Assistant supports you in creating and refining a robust topic structure. It provides AI-driven suggestions to add missing topics, highlight overlaps, and identify items that may not be relevant. This helps you maintain a consistent and meaningful categorization of your data.
Where to find it
In the Topics editor, the Topic Assistant is located on the right-hand side with the following options:
-
New topics – Suggestions for potential topics detected in your data.
-
Similar topics – Topics that may overlap in meaning and could benefit from merging or clarification.
-
Discarded topics – A list of suggestions you have chosen not to include.
-
Show rare topics – An optional toggle to surface low-frequency topics. These can reveal niche insights but may also add noise, so use them selectively.
How it works
-
The AI reviews your responses in relation to the topics you have defined.
-
It proposes new topics where gaps exist, flags similar topics to reduce redundancy, and shows rare topics for deeper exploration.
-
All actions remain under your control — you decide what to add, merge, or discard.
Collapse Topic Suggestions
Hide the right-hand panel with AI-generated topic suggestions (New, Similar, Discarded) to focus on your current topic structure. You can reopen it anytime to continue reviewing AI insights.
Mention Counts at a Glance
You can now see how often each suggested topic appears in your data, right from the Assistant table view.
This makes it much easier to:
- Spot topics with just a handful of mentions
- Decide what to clean up, merge, or discard, without opening charts
Renumber topic codes
Want your topic codes neat and in order? You can easily renumber them right inside the Topics editor.
Here’s how:
-
At the bottom of the topic list, click # Renumber.
-
Choose your starting number (e.g.,
1) and hit Apply.
That’s it! Your topics will automatically get sequential codes based on the order they appear.
